Why Mental Fitness Matters
When challenges arise, your mind can be your greatest ally—or your biggest obstacle. Negative emotions like stress, anxiety, procrastination, and perfectionism stem from mental “saboteurs” that hold you back.
But imagine approaching every challenge with:
- Calm Confidence: Master emotions and stay grounded under pressure.
- Creative Clarity: Find innovative solutions with ease.
- Peak Performance: Get more done while feeling balanced.
- Resilience in Change: Turn obstacles into opportunities.
It’s your Positive Intelligence® Quotient (PQ®)—not just IQ or EQ—that determines how much of your potential you achieve.

Curious about the science behind PQ?
Research in neuroscience, organizational science, and positive psychology shows that higher PQ leads to greater success in work, health, and relationships. An analysis of more than two hundred scientific studies, involving over 275,000 people, concluded that higher PQ leads to higher salaries and greater success in work, marriage, health, sociability, friendship, and creativity.
- Salespeople with higher PQ sell 37% more than their lower-PQ counterparts.
- Higher-PQ CEOs are more likely to lead happy teams who report a conducive work climate for high performance.
- Project teams with higher-PQ managers perform 31% better on average when other factors are equal.

Success Story
I have many businesses. But the issue is that I’m not feeling happy with what I’ve achieved, and I have had a complicated life. When I started to do the PQ® reps (building mental fitness muscles), I thought, ‘Oh, this is different. I love the prompts every morning because they are like a gym. Even if it’s just a few minutes a day, the most important thing is that it can be just two minutes.
Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is my PQ® reps. It’s super amazing. This PQ® program along with Linda’s coaching has been really good for me. Now in my business dealings, I have more patience with my partners and employees. If there’s a delay or setback, instead of getting angry I do my PQ® reps, and l look for the gift or opportunity in the situation.

Linda Naiman Founder, Creativity at Work
I’ve personally experienced the incredible impact of mental fitness, which I wrote about in my confessional recently. It has helped me overcome procrastination, conquer anxiety, and even alleviate insomnia. It’s also empowered my coaching. I’ve witnessed my coaching clients shifting from tears of frustration as they go through transitions, to smiles of clarity and hope within minutes. The power of this coaching is truly awe-inspiring. I have been trained in PQ® Mental Fitness coaching by Shirzad Chamine, neuroscientist, CEO of Positive Intelligence, and author of the book by the same name. I am excited to introduce this program to you.
