Are you struggling with these issues at work?
Performance anxiety
Difficulty meeting goals
Lack of motivation
Lack of enthusiasm
Interpersonal conflict
Procrastination and lack of focus
The source of these problems is NOT ability, training, or skills.
The Problem is “Mental Fitness”!
What is Mental Fitness?
It is the ability to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset. Most training creates short-lived positivity that fizzles soon after the event. However, breakthroughs in neuroscience and behavior management have revealed a proven process for bringing out the best in people consistently and bringing that increased resilience to their teams and their work.
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.
There’s Science to Back it Up
PQ is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science.
Research has included:
hundreds of CEOs
sales, operations, and technology teams
Stanford students
elite athletes
400,000 participants from 50 countries
“The Positive Intelligence (PQ) model is a brilliant breakthrough as it defines, measures, and improves your awareness of your own performance and happiness. It also helps solve the mystery of why so many smart people still fail to be successful.”
— Jim Lanzone, Chief Digital Officer, CBS

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the time commitment?
The first 9 weeks are the most time intensive, averaging around 3 hours per week (that's only about 30 minutes a day). Starting at week 10, the time commitment is expected to average just 1-1/2 hours a week (15 minutes a day Monday - Friday).
What if I can't attend a meeting?
We encourage all participants to come to the live meetings. To create a space of safety we do not record any meetings. If you miss a meeting you may use one of your 3 individual coaching sessions during the first 9 weeks to catch up.
How tech savvy do I have to be?
Moderate tech skills are helpful. You will need to be able to download the app to a smartphone, and we will provide instructions to help get you started with accessing and navigating the features and functions of the program.
