Dear Kathleen

I hope your summer is finishing up on a good note. Mine has been good and I am feeling very grateful for two wonderful holidays:  1) family wedding in Bordeaux and 2) few days in Krakow with my sister and sister in law. Both were great! 

I’m also excited about a trip I’ll be making to the US in October. On 20th October I will be in Philadelphia with the Irish American Business Chamber & Network. I’ll be presenting at the Women in Leadership Skills Building Workshop and Luncheon. And I'll be attending the Irish Business Organisation of NY’s 50th Anniversary Gala. As many of you know, I grew up in Connecticut and feel I really have a foot on both continents - so I’m delighted that I am building business links - and working with lovely new clients in the US as well as here in Ireland!

In previous newsletters I have written about various aspects of Positive Intelligence®. Many of you are familiar with it firsthand having experienced the 8 week program. Today, I want to dive deeper into it - and invite you to join me on my Building Positive Practices - Positive Intelligence® program starting in November. Keep reading for all the details!

All the best! 


Positive Intelligence®


Put simply, Positive Intelligence® (PQ) isn't about being relentlessly happy or ignoring life's challenges. It's about harnessing the power of your mind to navigate life's ups and downs with resilience, optimism, and a sense of purpose. It’s about living a more joyful, fulfilling life. And I can tell you from my and many other’s experience ‘it does what it says on the tin’.

🧠 What is Positive Intelligence?
Positive Intelligence® is your mental fitness, paralleling your physical fitness. It's about training your mind to think positively, manage stress effectively, and respond constructively to life's curve balls. By developing your Mental Fitness, you can unlock a world of possibilities and enjoy better mental health, improved relationships, and increased overall well-being.

🌞 The Benefits of strong Mental Fitness / PQ:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Enhanced creativity and problem-solving skills
  • Improved relationships at work and in your personal life
  • Greater resilience in the face of adversity
  • Increased happiness and life satisfaction

🏋️‍♀️ Ways to build your Mental Fitness / PQ:

  • Practice Self-Awareness: Understand your thought patterns and recognize negative self-talk. Awareness is the first step towards change.
  • Shift Your Perspective: Challenge your automatic negative thoughts and reframe them in a more positive light. Look for the silver lining!
  • Mindfulness and Meditation: Regular mindfulness and meditation practices can help you stay present, reduce stress, and foster a positive outlook.
  • Gratitude Journaling: Start a gratitude journal to focus on the positive aspects of your life. It's an excellent way to rewire your brain for positivity.
  • Surround Yourself with Positivity: Spend time with people who uplift and support you. Positive relationships can significantly impact your PQ.
  • Continuous Learning: Cultivate a growth mindset. Embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and grow.
  • Acts of Kindness: Practice random acts of kindness. Doing something good for others can boost your own positivity.

All of the above are so beneficial - you’ll feel better even if you only do some of them regularly!

What if I told you there is a way to give your Mental Fitness a boost in a structured, supportive environment?

As a certified PQ Coach, I can help you get a head start! You will learn about your "Saboteurs" and how to increase the power of your "Sage" or "Executive Mind".  While this is a lifelong practice, my 8 week program will give you a mental fitness boost in the same way a Bootcamp can get you started in increasing your physical fitness!

Are you ready?

Join my upcoming Building Positive Practices: Positive Intelligence® program starting in November. I will have 8 people in the Pod ie coaching group so sign up quickly so you’re not disappointed. If you’d like to chat about this just find a time that suits on my calendar.

Here's what previous participants have to say about the program:

[From EP] "The PQ training has become a fundamental step in my journey to improve my wellbeing. It has enabled me to distinguish where my negative thoughts and emotions come from and is teaching me how to effectively act on them to create a positive change. I feel like I am getting stronger and more positive every day.
- better sense of self-worth
- calmer
- more in control of my emotions
- more positive
- more effective"

[From JW] "Finally a course that uncovers unhealthy personal programming that has been running my life in unconscious ways and sabotaging my growth and relationships. It is an incredibly engaging, thought provoking,  intelligent course yet made easy and simple to follow the  process which guides you to unearth hidden wounds and saboteurs in a very supported held space. Hands down one of the best things I have ever done and I can already see changes happening in such a short space of time."

Remember, increasing your Positive Intelligence is a journey, not a destination. Small steps can lead to significant improvements over time. I will be supporting you on that journey and will provide you with tips, resources, and inspiration along the way.

Thank you for being part of this community dedicated to fostering positivity and personal development. Together, we can create a world filled with more joy, kindness, and resilience.
