Escape Exhaustion, Beat Overload

 Positive Intelligence® (PQ), developed by New York Times bestselling author and Stanford lecturer Shirzad Chamine, is a measure of mental fitness. Mental fitness is a person’s capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than negative mindset, and impacts peak performance, clarity of mind and wellness, and healthy relationships. Breakthrough research with 500,000 participants has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy a person is and how well they perform relative to their potential. The work of Shirzad is a synthesis of the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science and has resulted in a powerful six-week training method that I am licensed to provide to my circle of clients. The PQ mental fitness program combines weekly video sessions and an exclusive App that guides you step-by-step over the course of a six-week period to boost the three core muscles of mental fitness. The increased grey matter in the “Sage” region of the brain is visible in MRI imaging within eight weeks and the experience is often described as life-changing. I combine the power of this program with twelve weekly coach-led small group sessions to amplify your results. 

This is the right program for you if you are a) committed to reducing your stress and anxiety and living and working at your full potential, b) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick, and c) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don’t serve you.

Some people believe that negative emotions are helpful. For example, they think stress gives them their performance edge, or beating themselves or others up is helpful for continual improvement.

Feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove is indeed useful, delivering an important alert. But your self-sabotaging thoughts keep your hand on the hot stove, and you continue to feel negative emotions which harm both your happiness and performance.

In this program we learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert, and then quickly shift to the positive region of the brain that has the calm clarity, objectivity, and creativity to handle the challenge most effectively.

 You’ll meet once a week for 8 weeks in small group sessions (pods) led by me. We establish a powerful community of safety, deep trust, support and accountability. Group size is 5 people maximum.

You committing to watching a 1-hour video once per week and doing a combined total of 15 minutes per day of practice guided by the Positive Intelligence app exclusively designed for this program.

We start the week announced with the frst week video and 15 minutes for the exercises. We will establish a weekly date and time to meet on a follow up video session to discuss the material.  You will schedule follow ups meeting 1:1 as we advance in the practice. Remember it will only take 15 minutes a day to complete the daily neuroplasticity exercises.
