1 - The Inner Foundation
For the leader whose biggest obstacle is internal.
The Architect's Inner Compass
- A 7-week, high-touch group program designed to build your mental fitness. Using the research-backed POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE® (PQ®) framework, we will train you to intercept the internal "Foes" (what we call Saboteurs, like the Judge or the Hyper-Achiever) that drain your energy, and to amplify your inner "Friend" (what we call your Sage), the calm, clear-headed part of your mind that navigates challenges with wisdom and creativity.
- You will engage in a 7-week, app-guided mental fitness curriculum, supported by weekly, facilitated group "Pod" meetings. These confidential sessions are where we translate the concepts into real-world leadership application.
- You will build lasting habits of mental resilience, gain a shared language for navigating internal challenges, and develop the calm confidence required for high-stakes strategic work. You will receive one year of access to the PQ® app and the audio version of New York Times bestselling book Positive Intelligence. Written and narrated by Shirzad Chamine.
- The Architect's Inner Compass is offered five times per year. Running concurrently with the main cohort's design phase in January, May and September; and two standalone sessions in March and July.
- To preserve the integrity of a high-touch, confidential experience, each intensive is strictly limited. We will welcome a maximum of 3 pods (15 leaders total) for each session.
