If you could reduce your anxiety and stress level, perform better, and experience greater happiness with a 2-minute practice, 3 times a day...
Would you try it?
Mental Fitness is the X-Factor
If you’re not physically fit, you’d feel physical stress as you climb a steep hill.
If you’re not mentally fit, you’d feel mental stress, such as anxiety, frustration, or unhappiness, as you handle work and relationship challenges.
80% of people score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for peak performance and happiness.
The great news? With recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and technology, you can now improve your mental fitness significantly within 6 weeks of practice.
The results?
Dramatically improved performance and productivity and a calm, clear and happier mind.
The impact of the Positive Intelligence (PQ) training has been validated by over half a million participants in 50 countries.
The next six-week PQ program will be in the Fall of 2024
In these difficult times, we’re all seeking new tools and techniques to help us live our best life - I know I am! The PQ programme is a remarkable resource that I recommend to anyone looking for calm in times of stress, peace in times of chaos, strength in times of adversity, and love in times of anger and fear. I find the PQ program to be a profound and incredibly useful tool to help my sage overcome my saboteurs - it might do the same for you!

Mental fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).
Saboteurs react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, disappointment, self-doubt, regret, anger, shame, guilt, or worry.
Your Sage handles challenges through positive emotions like empathy, gratitude, curiosity, creativity, self-confidence, and calm, clear-headed, laser-focused action.
The relative strength of your positive Sage versus negative Saboteurs is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).
PQ is the measure of your Mental Fitness. It’s the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.
You can boost your PQ significantly with practice.
Learn Your Saboteurs
Introducing the PQ Program
Designed like a mental fitness bootcamp, the PQ Program gives you the insights, motivation, and structure to practice 15 minutes per day for 6 weeks.
The program combines weekly video sessions with daily app-guided practices to boost your 3 core mental fitness muscles.
Weekly 1-hour Video Sessions
In these highly engaging sessions, you will be guided through experiential exercises that deepen and personalize your understanding of the mental fitness tools. You leave inspired and energized for the week's daily practices.
Exclusive App Guiding Your Daily Practice
Each day a different focus for daily practice is assigned through a personalized companion app available exclusively to program participants.
This builds one small muscle at a time, laying down new neural pathways to form lasting positive habits of your mind. The cumulative impact by the program's end is substantial.
Interactive PQ Gym
Innovative 10-second PQ Reps build up your Self-Command muscle. You learn to be clear-headed and calm even in the midst of great challenges, able to command your mind to shift from Saboteur to Sage response.
Daily Progress Tracking
The app tracks your daily progress against minimum targets associated with new neural pathway (muscle) formation. Personalized daily coaching tips from Shirzad continue to both encourage and challenge you to keep going.

I was about to embark on a law career, at the age of 56. I had a number of insecurities and unproductive thought processes about my ability to be successful. This program helped me quiet those voices and find a way to keep it positive and productive.

Week 2: Intercept the Judge Saboteur

I was pretty skeptical at the start. I’ve done self-help programs before, and they only went so far. [I found] the content to be accepting, affirming, positive and forward thinking…
The weekly Pod group experience was a really important part of the learning process for me. If you want to learn more about yourself and your relationships with others, if you want to do better, to become more accepting of where you are in life now and also where you are going in the future, then the Positive Intelligence program is a very good investment of your time and resources.

The Positive Intelligence workshop gave me tools to help my mind stay in the present and tools [to] strengthen the mental muscles needed for personal and business growth. I feel more confident, successful, and than at any other time in my life.

I gained an avenue to explore and open up. It requires commitment and the ability to want to change. The PQ is broken down in simple steps that requires work to be successful at. If one is ready to change and explore, then this program is for you.
Harry F.
Welcoming PQ into my daily practice helps me recognize and reduce the stresses that would otherwise sabotage my effectiveness both inside and outside of work. I feel more resilient when surprised by life, with a toolbox that helps me operate with my glass more than half full. I am grateful for what PQ adds to my life.

Thank you, so much for all the time you put into the PQ class. I find it so helpful in my business, relationships, and general life. The calm and clarity that comes from just a few minutes of PQ is amazing!
Jeff L.
What I loved about the PQ training is that it pushes you to live in a higher state of awareness. It increases the amount of time you give yourself for reflection and connection with your mind and body.
Recently, I stepped into a new role at work, and I feel a tangible difference in how I approached this opportunity versus how I may have approached it before PQ training.
Historically, I put so much pressure on myself to succeed in new challenges that I ended up forcing myself to inaction. With my PQ training, I’ve been able to anticipate how my saboteurs might show up and come up with tactical ways I can either avoid that or deal with it in the moment.
This is a great training course for any age, profession, or life stage, and I think that we would all be happier if we are able to nurture our inner sage, rather than indulge our saboteurs!
