Designed like a mental fitness boot camp, the Positive Intelligence or (PQ) Program developed by Shirzad Chamine (Stanford lecturer and CEO Coach) gives you the insights, motivation, and structure to improve your mental fitness significantly within 6- weeks. With just 15 minutes per day of practice focusing on 3 core mental muscles, you perform better, feel less stressed while working less hard—similar to athletes “in the zone.”

3 CORE MUSCLES CONSTITUTE YOUR MENTAL FITNESS:  

The program combines weekly video sessions with daily app-guided practices to boost your 3 core mental fitness muscles. 

1. Saboteurs Interceptor Muscle: The negative emotions, including stress, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, avoidance, procrastination, insensitivity or discontent is how you self-sabotage your effectiveness on many levels. Mental fitness requires the ability to intercept and discredit the Saboteurs. Curious about what your top Saboteurs are?

Discover Your Saboteurs

Find out how you sabotage your own performance, wellbeing, and relationships, and how to improve.

2. Self-Command Muscle: Gain a stronger command of your mind, and more easily resist stress out over what you can’t control, push away self-doubts, recover from disappointments immediately, and spend very little time in anger, regret, or blame.   

3. Sage Muscle: Your Sage is your voice of inner wisdom and handles challenges with a clear and calm mind and positive emotions. Strengthen your 5 Sage powers: Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate to combat self-sabotage. 


Individuals and teams will be professionally coached through the 6-week Positive Intelligence program within a small group or “pod” who are going through the program at the same time. Your pod is led by Joshua Schuler and provides a built-in community of support and accountability. Pod members are also able to communicate privately with each other using the PQ Mobile App. You'll meet weekly in 30-minute virtual sessions to discuss each week's training, support each other and share breakthroughs.

Frequently Asked Questions:

+ Is this the right program for me?

I want everyone to reach their true potential and have participants from many varying industries and backgrounds, whether individuals looking to achieve more, corporate teams leading their employees or coaches helping their clients.

+ How much time and effort are required?

You’d be committing to:

  • Watching a 1-hour video once per week
  • Meeting virtually with Pod members for 30min each week
  • Doing a combined total of 15 minutes per day (2-3% of your week) of guided practice 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 six-week investment will save for years to come.

+ How soon can I start?

New Cohorts will start monthly. To inquire more about upcoming program start dates and how to start please fill out the 'Inquiry Form' below and I will promply reply with next steps.

+ Group Program: How big is the group I’ll be in?

Your group or Pod will consist of a maximum 8 persons who are going through the program at the same time. Research indicates a 500% increased likelihood of establishing positive new habits when supported by accountability partners.

+ Should we participate as a team?

Even though the focus of the program is individual development, team leaders often call this experience the best team building experience they have ever had. Going through this program together significantly deepens trust, helps clear the air related to recurrent team member conflicts (since they’re mostly generated by Saboteurs) and gives the entire team a common framework for helping each other grow, making decisions, responding to setbacks, and managing conflicting styles and agendas. If you consider signing up as a team, please contact me for an offer.

+ How is this different from reading the book?

You’d never learn to ride a bicycle by reading a book about it. You’ll be provided with and asked to read the first 8 chapters of the book while participating in the program. The book provides the research foundation and introduces the tools. The video sessions guide you through experiential exercises that help you use the tools according to your own personality and needs. And the app coaches you to practice one tool at a time in the context of your own daily work and life challenges. Think of it as insight put into ACTION!

+ What happens after the 6 week program?

After six weeks, you will have access to the PQ app and program content for 12 months completely free. If you would like new daily content or ongoing coaching support, this can be arranged in week six of your program for an additional fee. You’ll also get an opportunity to sign up for a complimentary Mastermind Group that meets for a by-weekly call to further deepen your learning, develop accountability frameworks, and share community with others who are continuing their practice.

+ Aren’t unpleasant/painful emotions sometimes helpful?

Some people believe that unpleasant/painful 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 harms both performance and happiness.

In this program we learn to use unpleasant/painful 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 Positive Intelligence Program?

I will lead the weekly Pod calls and work with you as your personal guide and coach during the entirety of the program.

Shirzad Chamine will conduct the weekly video sessions. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Positive Intelligence, translated into 20 languages. He has been CEO of the largest coach training organization 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. 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.
