Build Powerful Habits for a Positive Mind
Most attempts at positive change fail because we stop at insight and don’t build habits. Sustained change towards a more positive mind requires laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice. And that’s what Positive Intelligence® Program design empowers you to do.
Daily Practice
15 minutes/day of app-guided practice enables you to establish mental muscles (neural pathways). These exercises are bite-sized to fit your busy schedule and customized based on how you self-sabotage.
Weekly Focus
Weekly hour-long video delivers deep experiential exploration of the week’s focus. You’ll feel inspired and energized to practice during the week in order to sustain the benefits experienced during the video sessions.
Measurable Progress
Measurable ProgressYou’ll feel motivated through instant feedback on exactly how much progress you’re making towards building the 3 core muscles of mental fitness. Brain rewiring may be visible in MRI imaging within 8 weeks.
Coach and Community Support
You’ll work weekly with your coach Nadia Blackstock. She will guide you with weekly live calls where you get a chance to ask her your questions, share your experiences and recieve tips and guidance.
You have the choice to work in a support and accountability group with other program participants or on your own to ensure your practice is supported and set for success.
You automatically become part of a larger community which you can interact with through the PQ App if you wish to do so. Research has shown that being part of a community is a critical success factor for establishing new positive habits of the mind.
PQ Program Outline
The Positive Intelligence Program will help you 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
Boost your Self-Command muscle through a breakthrough process called PQ Reps. 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.
Week 2-3
Saboteur Interceptor Muscle
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.
Week 4-6
Sage Muscle
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.
Week 7-12
Grow Muscle
Over the following 6 weeks you will get the opportunity to deepen your knowledge, reinforce the habits you started to create and really wire in these new neural pathways.

What Makes Positive Intelligence Different?
Focus on Habit Formation
Most trainings result in short-lived improvements. For sustained results, the program focuses on building neural pathways that form lasting new habits. That’s why it’s called “mental fitness”.
Develop All Three Core Muscles
Mental fitness requires three core muscles. Saboteur Interceptor, Self-Command, and Sage. Meditation only focuses on Self-Command, which is why it is not sustained by most.
Treat Root Cause, Not Symptoms
The program’s factor analysis research has revealed the foundational root-level enablers and disablers of optimal performance and wellbeing. Positive Intelligence rewires the brain at the root cause level.
One Operating System, Many Applications
Through factor analysis, the program has discovered the core operating system of the mind that can run a massive variety of work and life applications. One simple operating system, many applications.
A Platform for Ongoing Growth
Similar to physical fitness, mental fitness is not a short-term training. After the initial seven weeks, the PQ App ensures continued growth through a variety of work and life applications.
Research-Based, Measurable Results
The program’s research has included more than a million participants from around the globe. These tools have been field-tested with thousands of tough-minded participants, ensuring their efficacy.
FAQ
Is this the right program for me?
This is the right program for you if you are:
a) committed to improving your performance and effectiveness dramatically while reducing stress, b) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick, and c) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don’t serve you.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes there is. You have a 30 day trial period and if you are unhappy with the program in any way, you get 100% refund no questions asked.
Aren’t negative emotions sometimes helpful?
Some people believe that negative 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 harm both performance and happiness.
In this program you learn to use negative 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.

How much time and effort is required?
You’d 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 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 seven-week investment will save for years to come.How much time and effort is require
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 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 session guides you through experiential exercises that help you personalize the tools 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.
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.
Can I do the Positive Intelligence® Program on my own and not be part of a group?
Even though we highly recommend being part of a group, you can choose to do the course on your own and have private coaching sessions with Nadia Blackstock. This still allows you to communicate with the whole PQ Community through the PQ App, but your live weekly sessions will be individual and not part of a group.
