When you are mentally fit, you meet challenges feeling positive, energised, motivated and from a place of control.

What is Positive Intelligence®, Mental Fitness & PQ?

The vision behind this work is to create a world where mental fitness becomes as widespread and commonly practiced as physical fitness is today amongst all kids, educators, parents, politicians, and leaders. That’s when humanity will fulfil its true positive potential.

Your PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient, or Positivity Quotient for short) measures the relative strength of your positive versus negative mental muscles. PQ is the most widely used measure of your mental fitness, seen as the greatest predictor of how happy you are, and how well you perform against your potential.

Daily 15-min app-guided exercises

The Positive Intelligence® App, available exclusively to program participants, allows you to apply the learnings from the weekly training videos.

With a different focus every day, it’s designed to build one small mental muscle at a time, laying down new neural pathways to form lasting positive habits of your mind. The cumulative impact by program's end is substantial.

Unlimited use of the PQ gym

6 weeks of inspired practice

You get to build a foundation of mental fitness by strengthening three critical mental muscles to shift the balance of power from your inner Saboteurs (your negative self) to your inner Sage (your positive self).

Week 1 - Self-Command Muscle

Through a breakthrough process called PQ Reps, you get to boost your Self-Command muscle. Each PQ Rep only takes 10 seconds and can be done with eyes open or closed. With each PQ Rep, you develop greater mastery over your own mind, quiet the negative, and activate the positive region of your brain.
Try out and discover PQ Reps that are most effective for you.
Use the app’s breakthrough PQ Charge Meter to ensure optimal brain activation before important activities.

Week 2-3 Saboteur Interceptor Muscle

You get to intercept your top Saboteurs the moment they try to hijack your thoughts, feelings, and actions. In preparation for this practice, you get to expose the lies, limiting beliefs and damage of your Saboteurs, so they can no longer fool you into thinking they are helpful to you.
Most participants discover their Saboteurs to be far more prevalent and damaging than they suspected. In week 2-3 you will practice intercepting your Saboteurs before they hijack you and work on rewiring your negative neural pathways by redirecting their response.

Week 4-6 Sage Muscle

You get to practice the Sage Perspective that every problem or challenge can be converted into a gift and opportunity. And you get to generate the gift through the 5 Sage Powers of Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate. You get to Replace draining self-judgment with energising self-acceptance and empathy and to discover how your Sage generates your highest performance while enjoying every step–“in the zone.”
Explore how to continue using your PQ tools for a variety of work and life applications. You get to chart your path to keep progressing towards your fearless aspirations. You can establish support and accountability agreements to sustain your momentum
