Saboteur vs Sage

About the Event

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response." — Viktor Frankl

You know what you should be doing. So why aren't you doing it?

That gap between knowing and doing isn't a skill problem — it's a pattern problem. Every leader has internal voices that drive their default reactions: the one that pushes harder under pressure, the one that steps in before the team has a chance, the one that avoids the hard conversation just a little too long.

Those voices have a name. In Positive Intelligence, they're called Saboteurs — and they look like strengths right up until they don't.

Before the session: You'll receive a link to complete the Positive Intelligence Saboteur Assessment — a quick, surprisingly accurate tool that reveals your dominant patterns. We'll use your results live in the room.

No slide overload. Just real self-awareness, honest conversation, and a practical path to leading from your Sage instead of your saboteur.

What We’ll Explore

• The most common saboteurs in leaders — Judge, Hyper-Achiever, Controller, Pleaser — and how they silently shape culture

• How your dominant patterns show up in problem solving, coaching, and team dynamics

• What it looks and feels like to shift from Saboteur to Sage in real time

• One concrete practice to interrupt the pattern before it takes over

👉 Come curious. Leave knowing yourself a little better.
