Mental Fitness

Mental Fitness can be defined as, “your capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset.” Our mental fitness can greatly impact our performance, peace of mind, wellness, and connections with ourselves and others.

I was introduced to Positive Intelligence® during a very stressful season of work. I trained as a Positive Intelligence coach as an experiment for myself and learned helpful tools and insights that I continue to practice today.

I continue to train with Shirzad Chamine at Positive Intelligence and aim to receive my Advanced Positive Intelligence Coaching Certificate in 2024. As a trained coach and practitioner, I am proud to offer this program to my clients.

The Positive Intelligence Program is an 8-week mental fitness program based on the book by the same name written by Shirzad Chamine. It can be done with a group or individually. As a Positive Intelligence Coach, I would coach you or a group of five people through the program.


The aim of the program is to help you develop mental fitness by:

  • Using short mindfulness/sensory exercises to increase self-command.
  • Learning to recognise and intercept the Saboteurs that cause much of the anxiety, guilt, regret, shame, and disappointment we experience.
  • Learning to replace Saboteurs by leveraging the Sage Perspective and Sage Powers.


Participants of the Positive Intelligence Program will:

  • Attend an introductory coaching session (1 hour).
  • Watch 1-hour worth of video content weekly (videos are broken down into shorter
    segments to allow chunking down the work).
  • Practice 15 minutes/day on the app that I will give you access to when you sign up.
  • Read 8 chapters of the Positive Intelligence book (the app has a PDF and audio version for you).
  • Attend 7 group or individual coaching sessions to integrate the material from the program (45 minutes each).

Testimonials

The rewards you will reap if attending the Positive Intelligence course with Lisa Murfin are insurmountable!  Patience, kindness, and objective empathy are key features of Lisa’s facilitation style. She ensures everyone’s voice is heard and creates a safe space for attendees to be ‘real’ about their feelings. Lisa has helped me understand so much about myself I can’t thank her enough! I have come away with a toolkit of methods to turn even the most negative of situations into a positive – thank you Lisa!

Lydia White

I found Lisa to be a brilliant coach and advocate for this course. She was amazing at bringing everyone together, a very good listener and always had extremely valuable course knowledge to help us in our journeys. She also made time for us on a 1:1 level if we were too shy or didn’t necessarily want to speak up in our group chats. She was kind, caring and a great leader. Lisa created a very safe and comfortable environment for me where I felt I could trust her and come to her with anything. Best coaching experience ever!

Isbah Anjum

I found the course to be a welcome addition to my weekly calendar. The course objectives explained by Lisa were clear and easy to understand. Lisa created a safe and comfortable environment from the beginning that carried throughout the course. She is knowledgeable on course materials and explains things with examples adeptly. Lisa created a sense of community, and we are all friends now that support each other even outside of the course. I recommend everyone take this course and if given the opportunity to work with Lisa as their facilitator, even better!  Lisa is patient, respectful, and compassionate and an expert leader.
