What is PQ?
Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science validated by over a million participants in 50 countries.
PQ is a measure of the strength of positive mental muscles (Sage) versus negative ones (Saboteur).
Saboteurs react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, disappointment, self-doubt, regret, anger, shame, guilt, or worry.
The Sage handles challenges through positive emotions like empathy, gratitude, curiosity, creativity, self-confidence, and calm, clear-headed, laser-focused action.
The relative strength of the positive Sage versus the negative Saboteurs is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).
PQ is a measure of mental fitness. It's a predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.
Research shows that PQ significantly increases with practice and habits.

What People Say About This Program
"I've completed several personal growth and professional development programs. The daily practice causes ease flow in my life. Mental fitness gets to the root cause of many unskillful behaviors. It gives me simple, practical tools of dealing with life's challenges."
"The Positive Intelligence (PQ) model is a brilliant breakthrough as it defines, measures, and improves your awareness of your own performance and happiness. It also helps solve the mystery of why so many smart people still fail to be successful."
"I’m so much more effective and have so much less stress in every area of my life — from blowing past targets at work, to far more fulfilling relationships at home."
"This has been the most impactful training I ever experienced. You develop powerful mental muscles to deal with challenges with much less stress and greater clarity, creativity, and resilience."
“This has been a profound growth experience. I now consistently feel joy and calm in the middle of handling the many challenges of running my team."
"It was a wonderful program that pushed boundaries and helped me become more grounded."
"You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time!"
"Learning the PQ framework has given me tools that have truly transformed how I see challenges, how I support teams as a manager and leader, and even how I experience life with family and friends.
"It's transformational and provides tools to change your life."
"This program changed my life! I read Positive Intelligence several years ago and took the Saboteur Assessment. Both were helpful at the time. However, it wasn't until I participated in the 7-week program that I was able to have compassion and empathy for myself (my inner critic was VERY strong). Although "self-love" is still a stretch, I now know that I am worthy of love - from myself and others."
"What is new and life-changing is the ‘mind control,’ the ability to ‘let go’ when any negative feelings take over. This program has given me the ability to be in the driver seat of my life."
"I personally have experienced a new sense of energy, engagement and possibility both at work and at home — and I am actually getting full nights of sleep!"
"I am much calmer and have a greater sense of happiness than I have felt in years. I feel physically lighter, and my energy is higher. Sage is now present all of the time. I sleep better, eat better, exercise better."
"All my life I thought my high achievements were impossible without feeling constant stress. I’ve now learned to achieve even more with a calm and clear mind. I’m now enjoying every day, not just the final accomplishments."
"Don't sweat the small stuff!"
“Insightful, reflective, and provoking!”
"I felt comfortable with and confident in the coaching through the PQ program. The content challenged my way of looking at things. David and Margaret brought it all full circle in our weekly meetings. It's definitely one of those programs you carry with you after completion."
