“This program helped me recognize how much my internal dialogue hijacks me and has a big impact on my mind and body. This awareness helps me to intercept the judgements that were so loud and causing a lot of anxiousness. Now I read emails, answer the phone and handle conflict with a lot more grace for myself and others. The best gift it’s given me is more play, hope and new habits that allow for flow and empathy for myself. ”
From Stress to Strength: Lead with Clarity, Resilience & Purpose
Are stress and uncertainty derailing your leadership?
As a mission-driven executive, manager, or government leader, you face challenges you can’t control. Pressure mounts, stress spirals, and it can feel nearly impossible to stay grounded.
Especially if you’re the one—or the only—in the room, the weight can leave you burned out, second-guessing yourself, and disconnected from your purpose.
the problem
Our brains are wired to respond to uncertainty with fear. On autopilot, that “fear brain” shows up as:
Anxiety and overthinking
Self-doubt and sabotage
Burnout and exhaustion
Tension in team dynamics
These patterns may be natural, but they quietly erode your impact, damage relationships, and leave you feeling stuck.
the solution
You don’t need more willpower or another leadership book. You need to strengthen your mental fitness—the ability to shift out of fear and into clarity, empathy, and calm action, even in the hardest moments.
Through Positive Intelligence, a proven program based in neuroscience, positive psychology, and performance science, you’ll learn to:
Intercept self-sabotaging thought patterns before they take over
Quiet your inner critics and build self-command
Lead others with steadiness, empathy, and creativity
Build daily practices that make resilience and clarity second nature
The Plan (How It Works)
This eight-week program, that I’m teaching at Seattle University, gives you practical tools, community support, and built-in accountability so change lasts.
Here’s what you’ll receive:
One year of access to the Positive Intelligence app with daily guided practices
Weekly one-hour video lessons (recorded) introducing new concepts
Weekly live group sessions (Tuesdays, 6:30–8:00pm PST) led by me for discussion, practice, and accountability
⚠️ This is not a self-guided course. Accountability and community are part of the design so you actually build lasting habits.
The Results you can expect
Leaders who complete the program report within 6–8 weeks:
91% better stress management
85% greater happiness
84% improved conflict management
76% stronger ability to develop others
90% more effective use of mental and emotional energy
Positive Intelligence, created by Shirzad Chamine (author of the NYT bestseller Positive Intelligence), has impacted over 500,000 participants worldwide. Learn more about the research here!
The INVESTMENT
$995 covers the full eight-week program, live facilitated sessions, and one year of access to the PQ app.
💡 Note: A single registration directly through Positive Intelligence also costs $995—but without group facilitation. Combined with my coaching and facilitation, this program is a $2,600 value for $995.
Many participants use professional development funds from their employers—read my blog for tips on requesting support.

Why this matters
You don’t have to let fear and stress control your leadership. With the right tools, practices, and support, you can lead with clarity, resilience, and purpose — no matter what comes your way.
“I honestly wonder if I’d have believed Meghan if she told me up front how profoundly this program was about to change the way I think about myself and how I approach interactions with others.
I can now recognize and quiet unhelpful thoughts quickly, and approach challenges with curiosity and energy. The best part? I didn’t do the program perfectly, and I wasn’t expected to. I’m excited to keep moving through my work and personal life applying these skills”
“This course supported me to take on daily practices to help me focus and be present. I’m using tools to generate more creative brainstorming, manage conflict and onboard new staff in a way where they feel heard. I’m shifting how I see things at work so I look for opportunities even when things don’t go as expected. All of this decreases the stress I experience. Meghan has also created great space for the group to share freely and openly during the process. ”
