Question 1

What exactly is Positive Intelligence®?

Accepted Answer

Positive Intelligence® (PQ), developed by New York Times bestselling author and Stanford instructor Shirzad Chamine, is a measure of mental fitness. Mental fitness is a person’s capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than negative mindset, and impacts:
- peak performance
- clarity of mind and wellness
- healthy relationships. 
Significant research and over 1,000,000 participants in over 50 countries shows PQ® to be the best predictor of how happy a person is and how well they perform relative to their potential. 
Positive Intelligence® is a synthesis of the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive behavioural techniques, positive psychology, and performance science and has resulted in a powerful six-week training method I am licensed to provide to my circle of clients. 
The PQ mental fitness program combines weekly video sessions and an exclusive App that guides you step-by-step over the course of a six-week period to boost the three core muscles of mental fitness. The increased grey matter in the “Sage” region of the brain is visible in fMRI imaging within eight weeks and the experience is often described as life-changing. I combine the power of this program with weekly coach-led small group sessions to amplify your results.

Question 2

Is this the right program for me?

Accepted Answer

This is the right program for you if you are a) committed to reducing your stress and anxiety and living and working at your full potential, b) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick, and c) willing to put in the effort to rewire years of mental habits that don’t serve you.

Question 3

Aren't negative emotions good for me?

Accepted Answer

Negative emotions are initially important—they are telling us something. But we do not need to stay there. A parallel is feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove— useful indeed, delivering an important alert. 
Some people believe negative emotions are helpful and necessary. For example, they think stress gives them their performance edge, or beating themselves or others up is helpful for continual improvement.
But your self-sabotaging thoughts keep your hand on the hot stove, and you continue to feel negative emotions. This impairs your best clear, creative, focused thinking and harms both your happiness and performance.
In this program we learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert, and then quickly shift to the region of the brain that has the calm clarity, objectivity, and creativity to handle the challenge most effectively. And this is Mental Fitness and Positive Intelligence.

Question 4

How much time and effort is required?

Accepted Answer

You’ll meet once a week for 6 weeks in small group sessions (pods) led by me. We establish a powerful community of safety, deep trust, support and accountability.

You’ll 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 3% of your awake time for the duration of the program.

Please consider this: Your self-sabotaging patterns are costing you far more than 3% of your time, effort, energy, and productivity. Consider how much more than 3% of time and productivity this investment will save for years to come.

Question 5

What is retail cost compared to what your coach facilitated foundations program?

Accepted Answer

The current retail price from Positive Intelligence is CAD$1,375 / US$995 for the 6-week program. This is entirely self-facilitated with no live learning sessions or coach guidance.

Our program packages are built on the stand-alone Positive Intelligence 6-week program and also include:
- Weekly group learning sessions with a master certified PQ Coach & Trainer who is also an ICF accredited PCC (Professional Certified Coach) and Royal Roads graduate Certified Executive Coach. Studies indicate group sessions can enhance learning value by up to 500%.
- Full PQ App membership for one year (retail value C$70 / US$50/month or C$350 / US$250 annually), providing additional modules in applications from stress management to parenting and conflict management to emotional intelligence, as well as ongoing training integration and guided practice. 
- One or more individual one-on-one coaching sessions.

Custom programs are also available, for teams and organizations, and for extended training integration and application modules.

Question 6

What day and time do we meet for the live sessions?

Accepted Answer

We start the week announced. Once signups close, we’ll use a poll to establish a weekly date and time to meet. My clients swiftly become dedicated to attending every live session.

To maintain confidentiality and trust, we do not record these sessions.
