master your inner leader

Personal: stress management, wellness, parenting, relationships, career planning, self-actualization. Professional: emotional intelligence, conflict management, creativity, peak performance, leadership, time management, change management, coaching others. 

Great way to start is to understand what mental fitness is (ability to handle life challenges with positive rather than negative mindset) and take 2 assessment of your mental fitness:

1. PQ score (Positive Intelligence Quotient),  a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).  To flourish in life, you need a three-to-one ratio between positive and negative emotions, so if you PQ score is below 75%, you will be benefit greatly from this program. 

2. Saboteurs Assessment (how you self-sabotage) that ranks 9 saboteurs of how loud their voices are in your head. Your saboteurs can be compared to good friends who give you bad advice. The higher the ranking of saboteurs the more they mess with you. If any of your saboteur's score above 4, you will learn a lot how to stop listening to their lies through this program. 

This is the right program for you if you are a) committed to improving your performance and effectiveness dramatically while reducing stress, 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. 

 PQ is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science.   Research included:  hundreds of CEOs; sales, operations, and technology teams, Stanford University students, elite athletes, 400,000 participants from 50 countries.  

This research was summarized in Shirzad Chamine's book Positive Intelligence, a New York Times bestseller, translated into 20 languages.  

The research reveals that:

• Saboteurs and Sage live in entirely different regions of the brain.
• You can cause a dramatic shift in brain activation to weaken Saboteurs and boost Sage.
• 3 core muscles constitute mental fitness.

  Within 6-8 weeks of mental fitness training you'd be able to see the results in MRI imaging:   

• Increased grey matter in the PQ Brain region, where your Sage lives 
• Decreased grey matter in the Survivor Brain region, where your Saboteurs live  

Improvements in these competencies lead to substantial results:

• At MetLife, trained salespeople outsold the control group by 37%
• Motorola recorded improved productivity in 93% of trained employees
• In a UK restaurant group, higher competency resulted in 34% greater profit growth
• At Sanofi-Aventis Pharmeceutical, the average salesperson with improved competency sold $55,200 more per month
• At L’Oreal, strength in these competencies resulted in $91,370 increase per sales person
• At CIBC, strength in these competencies account for 32% of booked sales and 71% of pipeline sales

"What is new and life changing is the ‘mind control,’ the ability to ‘let go’ when any negative feelings take over.  This program has given me the ability to be in the driver seat of my life."

- Nathalie Brys, General Counsel, Philips

"This workshop changed my life.  I’m working half as hard and generating twice the results.  It’s amazing what’s possible when you use these powerful tools."

- Brad Fisher, Executive Director, Featherstone Holdings

"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  

"Most of the trainings I’ve done fizzle out very quickly.  I started this program a year ago and its impact on me keeps growing.  It has been life changing on so many levels. 

"I’m so much more effective and have so much less stress in every area of my life — from blowing past revenue targets at work, to far more fulfilling relationships at home."

- Bruce Zali, VP of Sales & Marketing, Promise Technology

"This has been the most impactful training I ever experienced. You develop powerful mental muscles to deal with challenges with much less stress and greater clarity, creativity, and resilience. Every sales professional would benefit greatly from this."

- Adam McGraw, Sales VP & GM, American Express 

"This has been an extraordinary gift for my team. The concepts are phenomenal -- a true revelation in the way to think and handle work and life’s challenges.   Besides the lasting impact on myself, I’ve loved hearing how many people this has touched in my company."

- Jessica Herrin, CEO, Stella & Dot

 You'd be 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.  This might sound like a lot of time. In fact, cumulatively, it constitutes less than 2% of your awake time for the duration of the program. Please consider that your Saboteurs are costing you far more than 2% of your time, effort, energy, and productivity. Consider how much more than 2% of time and productivity this six-weeks investment will save for years to come.  

To maximize your results, you can attend weekly 30-45 min group meeting and read or listen to Positive Intelligence book to deepen your understanding of mental fitness operating system. 

 You'd never learn to ride a bicycle by reading a book about it. You'll be asked to read the first 8 chapters of the book while participating in the program. The book provides the research foundation and introduces the tools. The video session guides you through experiential exercises that help you personalize the tools to your own personality and needs. And the app coaches you to practice one tool at a time in the context of your own daily work and life challenges.
