Most attempts at positive change fail because we stop at insight and don’t build habits. Sustained change towards a more positive mind requires laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice.
And that’s what this 6-week app-supported mental fitness program combined with group coaching was designed to empower you to do. - Improve performance and well-being.
As a positive intelligence (PQ) coach, I offer this leadership development program developed by my teacher Shirzad Chamine of Positive Intelligence ©. He is a New York Times bestselling author and lecturer at Stanford University.
Ask yourself:
Through a breakthrough process called PQ Reps, you get to boost your Self-Command muscle. Each PQ Rep only takes 10 seconds, is App supported, and can be done with eyes open or closed. With each PQ Rep, you develop greater mastery over your own mind, quiet the negative, and activate the positive region of your brain. Your mental fitness training will be amplified through the weekly group coaching session.
You get to intercept your top Saboteurs the moment they try to hijack your thoughts, feelings, and actions. In preparation for this practice, you get to expose the lies, limiting beliefs, and damage of your Saboteurs, so they can no longer fool you into thinking they are helpful to you.
Reflection and learning will be shared in the weekly group coaching session.
Every problem or challenge can be converted into a gift or opportunity. And to be able to do this you get to practice this Sage Perspective.

Mental fitness requires 3 core muscles. Saboteur Interceptor, Self-Command, and Sage. Meditation only focuses on Self-Command, which is why it is not sustained by most.

Similar to physical fitness, mental fitness is not short-term training. After the initial six-week foundation, the app ensures continued growth through a variety of work and life applications.
Shirzade Chamine's research has included more than a million participants from around the globe. Our tools have been field-tested with thousands of tough-minded participants, ensuring their efficacy.
