Positive Intelligence

What is Positive Intelligence?

The measure of your mental fitness is called your Positive Intelligence Quotient (PQ). Mental fitness is the measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) vs. the negative (Saboteur). Research with 500,000 participants has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential. This work combines the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology and performance science.

Self-Sabotage

One key to mental fitness is to weaken the internal saboteurs who generate your “negative” responses to challenges. They cause you stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, regret, shame, guilt and unhappiness. Some of these saboteurs are the Judge, Controller, Avoider, Victim, Stickler and 5 others.

Sage to the Rescue

Your “Sage” lives in an entirely different region of your brain and takes on challenges with positive emotions like curiosity, empathy, creativity, and clear-headed, laser-focused action to help you perform better and feel happier. You perform better while working less hard – like athletes “in the zone”. You feel less stressed, more peaceful and happier, even in tough times. Your relationships improve as you handle conflicts in ways that deepen trust and harmony.

PQ Training

Boosting your mental fitness requires building powerful new muscles in your brain, not just gaining insight. Combining weekly video sessions and an exclusive App, Shirzad Chamine guides you step-by-step over a six-week period to boost the 3 core muscles of mental fitness. This PQ operating system has shown to increase grey matter in the “Sage” region of the brain, visible on MRI imaging within 8 weeks.

Physical Fitness is for life. Mental Fitness should be too!

If you’re not physically fit, you’d feel physical stress as you climb a steep hill. If you’re not mentally fit, you feel mental stress such as anxiety, frustration or unhappiness as you handle work and life challenges. The PQ operating system is simple, and breaks down to strengthening 3 core muscles:

Boosting the saboteur interceptor muscle
Boosting the sage muscle
Boosting the self-command muscle

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, Shirzad guides you 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 in your mind. The cumulative impact by program’s end is substantial. The app also provides an interactive PQ gym. It provides innovative 10-second PQ Reps to build your self-command muscle. The app tracks your daily progress against minimum targets associated with new neural pathway (muscle) formation. Personalized daily coaching tips from Shirzad keep you motivated. Shirzad also remains an active member of your PQ community, available to answer questions and provide moments of coaching.

Because the PQ operating system has identified the 10 root-level saboteurs (negative factors) and the 5 primary Sage powers, all personal and professional issues can be tackled with its application. Whether learning to manage conflicts, manage time, make massive changes, take-on new roles/challenges or perform better under pressure, you’d apply the exact same operating system.

Please feel free to research Positive Intelligence. To enter the course on your own would cost $995. I’m passing it through (my prices have not changed) to my clients because of my intense belief in how life changing it can be. Be sure to ask me any questions this page or the Positive Intelligence website does not answer.
