Launching, Pivoting, Scaling, or Starting a New Chapter? Mental Fitness Can Help You Thrive

All it takes is 15 minutes a day to boost your mental fitness and elevate your Positive Intelligence®

  • Master Emotions: Stay calm under pressure and improve relationships.
  • Unlock Focus and Creativity: Find innovative solutions fast.
  • Achieve Peak Performance: Get more done with enhanced well-being.
  • Navigate Change with Confidence: Handle transitions with resilience.

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.

What Is Positive Intelligence®?

Positive Intelligence® (PQ®) is your mind’s capacity to work for you instead of against you. It’s the foundation of mental fitness, enabling you to respond to life’s challenges with a positive mindset.

Like physical fitness, mental fitness requires consistent practice. This program equips you with the tools and structure to build lasting habits through daily PQ® exercises and community support.

The 12-Week Program

Build three core mental muscles to transform your mindset:

  1. Self-Command Muscle: Quiet your inner saboteurs and focus your mind.
  2. Saboteur Interceptor Muscle: Recognize and neutralize self-sabotaging thoughts.
  3. Sage Muscle: Shift to a positive perspective and uncover solutions using empathy, creativity, and action.

Program Highlights:

  • 7 Weekly video lessons by Shirzad Chamine, blending neuroscience, positive psychology, and practical application.
  • Coaching calls with Linda Naiman for personalized support.
  • Assessments to identify your strengths and saboteurs.
  • One-year access to the PQ® App for guided daily exercises.
  • Daily 15-minute PQ® reps to rewire your brain and create lasting change.
  • PDF download of the first eight chapters of Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine.

What Makes This Program Unique?

  • Habit Formation: Build neural pathways for sustained change.
  • Proven Results: Rooted in neuroscience and backed by research.
  • Ongoing Support: Stay motivated with coaching and community accountability.

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 our pro-gram empowers you to do.

Build your foundation of mental fitness through daily practice

Discover what’s holding you back. Saboteurs are the inner voices that generate stress and negative emotions, sabotaging your potential for happiness and performance. The PQ® Program helps decrease these negative thoughts and increase positive ones from your Sage.

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.
