Positive Intelligence For Executives
What if you could be a peak performer without being stressed all the time?
I work with startup and tech execs who have hit a wall in reaching their next level of success. They are high performers, but they’re stressed and anxious. It’s ultimately impacting their potential, health, relationships and general happiness.
The key to being successful AND having peace and joy at the same time is mental fitness.
Get Mentally Fit
If you’re not physically fit, you’d feel physical stress as you climb a steep hill.
If you’re not mentally fit, you’d feel mental stress, such as anxiety, frustration, or unhappiness, as you handle work and relationship challenges.
80% of people score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for peak performance and happiness.
The great news? With recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and technology, you can now improve your mental fitness significantly within 6 weeks of practice.
The results? Dramatically improved performance and productivity and a calm, clear and happier mind.
What is Positive Intelligence?
Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science validated by over half a million participants in 50 countries.
PQ is a measure of the strength of positive mental muscles (Sage) versus negative ones (Saboteurs).
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).
Introducing the PQ Program
Designed like a mental fitness bootcamp, the PQ Program gives you the insights, motivation, and structure to practice 15 minutes per day for 6 weeks.
The program combines weekly video sessions with daily app-guided practices to boost your 3 core mental fitness muscles.
Weekly 1-hour Video Session
In these highly engaging sessions, Shirzad guides you through experiential exercises that deepen and personalize your understanding of the mental fitness tools. You leave inspired and energized for the week's daily practices.
Exclusive App Guiding Your Daily Practice
Each day a different focus for daily practice is assigned through a personalized companion app available exclusively to program participants.
This builds one small muscle at a time, laying down new neural pathways to form lasting positive habits of your mind. The cumulative impact by program's end is substantial.
Interactive PQ Gym
Innovative 10-second PQ Reps build up your Self-Command muscle. You learn to be clear-headed and calm even in the midst of great challenges, able to command your mind to shift from Saboteur to Sage response.
Daily Progress Tracking
The app tracks your daily progress against minimum targets associated with new neural pathway (muscle) formation. Personalized daily coaching tips from Shirzad continue to both encourage and challenge you to keep going.

Improvements in these competencies lead to substantial results:
❖ At MetLife, trained salespeople outsold the control group by 37%
❖ Motorolla recorded improved productivity in 93% of trained employees
❖ In a UK restaurant group, higher competency resulted in 34% greater profit growth
❖ At Sanofi-Aventis Pharmeceutical, the average salesperson with improved competency sold $55,200 more per month
❖ At L’Oreal, strength in these competencies resulted in $91,370 increase per sales person
❖ At CIBC, strength in these competencies account for 32% of booked sales and 71% of pipeline sales

"This program was a total game changer. It’s the first thing I’ve found that’s really stuck and allowed me to change my perspective and thought process on a very deep level. I’m now a calmer, more creative and a stronger leader at work. I’m no longer distracted by constant stress and anxiety and perfectionism. On the personal side, I’m happier, more present and just able to enjoy my life more."
