Positive Intelligence:  A Win for Thriving in Life

Positive Intelligence Logo

Doc Maria was pleased to accept a coaching scholarship to attend the program Positive Intelligence for Coaches. This program aims to assist an individual in learning new skills to rewire their brain toward a positive mindset.  It is based upon the NY Times bestseller, Positive Intelligence: Why only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve their True Potential by Shirzad Chamine, presents the argument that unknowingly we sabotage our own lives through how we judge self, others, and situations.   When a person can unwind the details of how judging creates stress in an individual’s life, they can then live more in the present moment and act based on their own true self. 

Since completing the program, Dr. Maria is now offering the Positive Intelligence and PQ program.   She is offering it to both individuals, groups, and organizations.

The PQ Program is a mental fitness program that enables wellness, performance, and positive relationships. The six-week program empowers you to create sustained change toward a more positive mind by laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice. The PQ operating system provides the opportunity to identify and decrease negative thoughts, what we call Saboteurs, and work to increase positive thoughts, what we call Sage. You will complete a Saboteur assessment as you begin the PQ Program to help identify your top Saboteurs.

Your coach guides you through the six-week program where you experience daily practice, a weekly focus, the PQ gym, and community. You can access the content using the PQ app and measure your progress. The PQ Program also includes a Pod facilitated by your coach. These small groups provide weekly discussion opportunities and consist of as few as two people (client and coach) or five individuals going through the PQ Program with the same coach simultaneously. Build powerful habits for a positive mind. During the PQ Program, 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 to your inner Sage. With lifelong applications to work and life, the opportunity is yours to continue to grow.

What the PQ Program includes:

  •  PQ app – available on Apple and Android, as well as a desktop version
  • Focus – weekly hour-long videos and daily 15-minute app-guided exercises
  • Gym – includes guided sessions to practice and log PQ reps, a foundational practice for building your mental fitness
  • Community – the internal social network for the PQ Program
  • Modules – lessons essential for completing the program
  • Pod – support and accountability group, to meet once a week to discuss the week’s training
