• The Power to Choose How to Train Your Brain and Shift from Oy to Joy

  Stress, self-doubt, negativity, and emotional reactivity aren’t character flaws—they’re brain patterns. Left unexamined, they quietly shape our relationships, decisions, and energy. In Train Your Brain & CHOOSE, Dorice Horenstein brings people inside the brain to uncover what’s really happening under pressure—and how small shifts create powerful change. Using Positive Intelligence® and neuroscience, she demonstrates how mental saboteurs hijack focus and how the brain can be retrained for resilience, creativity, and emotional steadiness.

  Through the CHOOSE framework—Clarity, Honor, Openness, Oneness, Strategy, and Enactment—participants experience how to honor emotions without being ruled by them, interrupt stress-driven thinking, and intentionally choose how they show up in moments that matter. This is not about forced positivity—it’s about building mental fitness that lasts.

  Joy becomes not a reaction to circumstances, but a practiced state of being.

  • Recognize mental patterns and saboteurs that fuel stress, negativity, and self-doubt

  Energized Leaders. Engaged Teams. Resilient Culture.

  In today’s fast-paced, high-stakes environments, many leaders operate from disconnection—cut off from their purpose, their people, and even their own joy. This disconnection breeds tension, mistrust, imposter syndrome, and disengagement—and it spreads.
