Enhance Your Mind Power With Powerful PQ® Brain Fitness Training

Unlock your full potential with our brain fitness app and coaching programs.

How it works

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 our PQ® App empowers you to do.
We guide you in following the steps bellow:

Weekly Focus

Daily Practice

Measurable Progress

Community Support (Add on)

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 weaker muscles.

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.

You’ll feel motivated through instant feedback on exactly how much progress you’re making towards building the 3 core muscles of mental fitness. Studies have shown that brain rewiring may be visible in MRI imaging within 8 weeks.

We help you establish a support and accountability group with other program participants. Research has shown this to be a critical success factor for establishing lasting new positive habits of the mind.

6-Week Foundation

Sage Muscle (Week 4-6)

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.

When having an insight into a positive change, there are inner voices that come up to express an opinion about the change. There will be encouraging voices, and also sabotaging voices.

Self-Command Muscle (Week 1)

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.

Saboteur Interceptor Muscle (Week 2-3)

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.

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

Your inner Sage generates positive emotions while handling life’s challenges. These include empathy, compassion, gratitude, curiosity, the joy of creativity, and calm, clear-headed, laser-focused action. Your Sage lives in an entirely different region of your brain, the middle prefrontal cortex, “empathy circuitry,” and parts of the right brain. This region is wired for creativity and big-picture awareness of what is important and the best course of action. Activating this region results in the release of endorphins that counter the negative impacts of stress-induced cortisol.

The inner Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions when you handle life’s challenges. They exist in the brainstem, limbic system, and parts of the left brain. They produce much of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, shame, guilt, frustration, and mind chatter. These negative emotions are only helpful for a second, as they alert you to dangers or issues. However, staying in these emotions hurts your ability to see clearly and choose the most impactful response.

What Makes Our Program Different

Most trainings result in short-lived improvements. For sustained results, we focus on building neural pathways that form lasting new habits. That’s why we call this “mental fitness”.

Focus on Habit Formation

Treat Root Cause, not Symptoms

Our factor analysis research has revealed the foundational root-level enablers and disablers of optimal performance and wellbeing. We rewire the brain at the root cause level.

Develop all 3 Core Muscles

Mental fitness requires 3 core muscles. Saboteur Interceptor, Self-Command, and Sage. Meditation only focuses on Self-Command, which is why it is not sustained by most.

One Operating System, Many Applications

Through factor analysis, we’ve 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 six-weeks foundation, our app ensures continued growth through a variety of work and life applications.

Research-Based, Measurable Results

Our research has included more than a million participants from around the globe. Our tools have been field-tested with thousands of tough-minded participants, ensuring their efficacy.

Using my own grounding and clear mirroring of my clients, during the coaching sessions I create a collaborative safe space, where compassion and stories lead only to evolution.
Being fascinated by children and adults all together, by emotions and behavior, how these are shaped in individuals through relationships and traumas, I am devoted to guiding each individual in discovering their true-self and staying connected to the present moment, so that they can strive in any endeavor they have, for themselves as individuals, in their personal relationships, or in business.

Having 15 years of IT corporate experience, 5 years of entrepreneurship, 10 years of personal development, coaching in career and life, I'm formed as a CBT coach, and continue my studies with the Compassionate Inquiry Professional Course by Gabor Mate, being ready to meet with compassion and guide, In English or Romania, with different successful approaches, each client or group that seeks harmony.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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 we 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

Do you have corporate/group discounts?

Yes, we offer group discounts on the PQ Program to any group of 8 or larger. If you would like to purchase the program for your team, your employees, or any group of eight people and above, please contact us for more information..

What if I have a question that's not answered here?

If you have a question that’s not answered here, please search our Support Site or use the Contact Us button for additional support.

How much time and effort is required?

You’d be committing to watching a one-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 six-week investment will save for years to come.

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 eight 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.
