Mental Fitness keynote speech and Q&A

When you’re not mentally fit, you feel mental stress -- anxiety, frustration, or unhappiness -- as you handle work and relationship challenges. The bad news is that 80% of people score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for peak performance and happiness.

The great news? With recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and technology, you can now improve your mental fitness significantly within 6 weeks of practice.

Based on coaching hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams, and research with 500,000+ individuals, Stanford lecturer Shirzad Chamine reveals the key factors undermining your performance. His research has identified 10 “Saboteurs” to be the key culprits: the Judge, Controller, Stickler, Pleaser, Victim, Avoider, Restless, Hyper-Vigilant, Hyper-Achiever, and Hyper-Rational.

Audiences delight in discovering which Saboteurs present the greatest internal obstacles to their optimal achievement and well-being. And they are thrilled to learn simple science-based tools to remove these obstacles. This keynote is often described as life-changing.

Keynote includes:

• Which Saboteurs cause your greatest stress and undermine your performance
• How to detect when a Saboteur has hijacked your brain
• How to intercept and redirect your Saboteur thought and actions
• 10-second exercises to activate the region of your brain where your greatest wisdom and powers live
• The neuroscience, positive psychology, and performance science underpinning this research.
• The independent research evidence and case studies for dramatic performance improvement

Note: An optional 5-minute Saboteur Assessment is available online to deepen engagement and personalize Shirzad's material.
