Shirzad Chamine, CEO and founder of Positive Intelligence, joins the Resilience Factor podcast to explore the critical role of mental fitness in building personal and professional resilience. Drawing on his background as a Stanford lecturer and bestselling author, Shirzad shares how stress fuels self-sabotage and impairs performance, especially in high-pressure environments like cybersecurity. He introduces the concept of “saboteurs,” the ten internal voices that undermine our well-being, and explains how simple, science-backed techniques can rewire the brain for greater clarity, empathy, and focus. Shirzad also highlights why resilience isn’t just a personal trait but a trainable skill that organizations must prioritize to foster healthier, higher-performing teams.
