And yet I was finding myself reacting to simple triggers with no proportion to the situation. The Positive Intelligence program introduced me to a simple, science based method that is comprised of simply daily routine activities that enable me to take control of my emotions and navigate myself to finding ways of handling situations – easy and complex alike. At this stage of the program, I already have many examples of how using these tools, my handling of triggers gives me a lot of satisfaction, where in the past these situations were sources of long lasting frustration. It is not as if problems in the world or my life have gone away, but now I feel well equipped to resolve my issues better. I of course am continuing to work on my mental fitness using the tools the program has taught me, and hope to continue to be in control. A word about our facilitator – Eli did a great job of guiding me, and my colleagues through the initial stages of the program. We had a few inherent challenges, that all became gifts with Eli’s Guidance. To mention some of the key challenges: Virtual Meetings – Given the situation, face to face meeting were not an option. I am sure that holding pod meeting face to face adds value, but frankly I did not feel that we missed anything – if at all, the virtual meetings were very convenient and useful. Geography and Cultural diversity – our pod team was especially geographically spread from North America through Europe and Israel all the way to India. We had a mix of people from all over and at different stages in life. In retrospect This diversity actually added depth to our discussions. Eli was always very positive, and bright faced adding something to look forward to in every interaction we had. Eli is always looking at challenges as opportunities, in a very contagious way.
Thank You Eli!"
