Positive Intelligence® (PQ) is a revolutionary measure of mental fitness developed by renowned author and Stanford lecturer, Shirzad Chamine. It assesses one's ability to tackle life's challenges with a positive mindset. Backed by extensive research involving 500,000 participants, PQ has emerged as a powerful predictor of happiness and performance potential. My program integrates weekly video sessions and an exclusive App, delivering a comprehensive journey towards enhanced mental fitness. ​ 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 new habits stick, and c) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don’t serve you. ​ Aren’t negative emotions helpful? Some people believe that negative emotions are helpful. For example, they think stress gives them their performance edge, or beating themselves or others up is helpful for continual improvement. Feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove is indeed useful, delivering an important alert. But your Saboteurs keep your hand on the hot stove, continuing to feel negative emotions which harm both performance and happiness. In this program we learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert, and then quickly shift to the positive region of the brain that has the calm clarity, objectivity, and creativity to handle the challenge most effectively. Who will lead the PQ Program? Shirzad Chamine conducts each of the weekly video sessions. Shirzad will also participate daily in the exclusive online community of the program participants to answer questions, provide coaching, and cheer you on. Shirzad is the New York Times bestselling author of Positive Intelligence, translated into 20 languages. He has been CEO of the largest coach training organisation in the world and has trained faculty at Stanford and Yale business schools. Shirzad lectures on Positive Intelligence at Stanford University and works with Stanford’s NCAA athletes. A preeminent C-suite advisor, Shirzad has coached hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams. His background includes graduate level studies in neuroscience in addition to a BA in psychology, an MS in electrical engineering, and an MBA from Stanford. ​ How much time and effort is required?​ You’d be committing to watching a one-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 investment will save for years to come ​ Live Session Schedule Our live sessions are held every Monday.
