Positive Intelligence® : Understand Our Inner Critic

Does any or all of these sound familiar?

• Inner Critic That Won’t Shut Off

You feel constantly judged by your own thoughts—“I’m not doing enough,” “I might fail,” “I must please everyone.” You are getting mental fatigue and self-doubt from overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or fear of failure.

• Repeating Negative Patterns

Despite success or effort, you keep finding yourself stuck in cycles of burnout, strained relationships, procrastination, or self-sabotage. You feel like you are trapped by old habits, unable to break free or make sustainable change.

• Low Confidence in Tough Moments

You struggle to stay grounded or respond well under stress, pressure, or conflict. Your reactive behavior often leaves you feeling regretful or disconnected. You observed that you are constantly using unhelpful reactions and you feel emotional overwhelm in difficult moments.

• Lack of Clarity or Purpose

You know you want something to change, but aren’t clear on how or what. There’s an inner tension between who you are and who you want to be. You feel a sense of inner disconnection and lack of alignment with your values or goals.

• Tired of Trying to “Fix” You

You’ve read books, watched TED Talks, tried affirmations, but lasting change feels elusive.You are frustrated from trying many self-help approaches without deep transformation.

What This Workshop Is About

Your inner Saboteurs, like the Judge, Pleaser, or Hyper-Achiever, may quietly sabotage your relationships, performance, and wellbeing every day.

In this 2-hour reflective workshop, you’ll explore the true cost of these Saboteurs, what they’re taking from you, how they limit your potential, and how much is lost if nothing changes. You’ll leave with powerful awareness about what’s at stake—and what could be possible if these patterns loosened their grip.

This is not a coaching session. It’s a guided learning and reflection space to explore how your Saboteurs are holding you back, an opportunity to experience how things could be or how you could feel when your inner critic is not in control.

Why It Works

This workshop is based on Positive Intelligence® (PQ), a brain-based model developed by Stanford lecturer Shirzad Chamine. It reveals how inner Saboteurs impact everyday decision-making, emotions, and performance. By bringing these unconscious patterns to light, we take the first essential step: awareness.

What You’ll Gain

1. A clearer understanding of your top Saboteurs through the PQ Assessment
2. Insight into how these Saboteurs affect your performance, relationships, and wellbeing
3. A guided visualisation: Imagine life without the grip of your Saboteurs
4. Simple Positive Intelligence® tools (like PQ Reps) to start interrupting Saboteur patterns gently
5. Experience mental fitness moments

• Feel stuck or drained by self-doubt or inner criticism
• Sense that something internal is holding them back
• Want to understand the root of their stress responses
