Your mind is constantly sabotaging your performance potential, well-being and happiness. Unlock what’s holding you back and empower yourself to build new and powerful habits in just 7 weeks.
Most attempts at personal development and positive change fail because we stop at insight and don't build new habits. Creating and sustaining change requires laying down new neural pathways that transform old habits through consistent daily practice.
Based on breakthrough research by New York Times best-selling author, Shirzad Chamine, this mental fitness program is a synthesis of recent discoveries across neuroscience, positive psychology, cognitive behavioural psychology and performance science.
In just 7 weeks, you will experience immediate and sustainable improvements in your performance, well-being and relationships.

15 minutes a day of app guided practice builds mental fitness and new neural pathways. The 2-3-minute exercises fit into your busy schedule and are customised to how you self-sabotage.
A weekly 1-hour video facilitates deep exploration and an experiential activity to anchor the weekly 'in focus' topic. These insights inspire your weekly practice to sustain the benefits of adopting new habits of mind.
You'll feel motivated through instant feedback on exactly how much progress you're making towards building the three core muscles of mental fitness. Brain rewiring is visible in MRI imaging within eight weeks.
Join the facilitated 1-hour pod meeting with peers or colleagues to maintain motivation and strengthen your learning. Here you collectively explore and navigate the power of building your mental fitness at work and in life.
Following a 2-hour orientation meeting, through breakthrough processes 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 voice in your head, and activate the positive region of your brain.
Now you get to intercept your top Saboteurs the moment they try to hijack your thoughts, feelings, and actions. During this practice, you expose the lies and discover the limiting beliefs and damage your Saboteurs create. Now they can no longer fool you into thinking they are helpful in keeping you safe.
Practice the Sage Perspective - that every problem or challenge can be converted into a gift and opportunity. Generate the gifts by practicing tools and techniques that stimulate your 5 Sage Powers.

Power up your PQ operating system with lifelong applications relating to stress, wellness, relationships, conflict, creativity, performance and leadership to name a few.
Most training results 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".
Empirical research has revealed the foundational root-level enablers and disablers of optimal performance and wellbeing. We rewire the brain at the root cause level.
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.
Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions as you handle life's everyday challenges. They represent automatic patterns in your mind for how to think, feel and respond. Your saboteurs are the cause stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustrations, restlessness and unhappiness. They sabotage your performance, wellbeing and relationships.
Taking the saboteur assessment is your first step in defeating your saboteurs – identifying them to expose their lies and self-limiting habits of mind.
This is the right program for you if you are:
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 needed to improve.
Feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove is indeed useful – it delivers an important alert to remove it. Your Saboteurs keep you stuck on the hot stove and continuously feeling negative emotions harm your performance, relationships, happiness and health.
In this program, you learn how to use negative emotions as a helpful warning, and then quickly activate the positive region of the brain where there is calm, clarity, creativity and laser focus to handle the challenge.
You commit to watching a 1-hour video each week and doing a combined total of 15 minutes of practice per day which is guided by the exclusively designed Positive Intelligence App on your phone or tablet. These pre-recorded processes are facilitated by Shirzard.
1:1 coaching and POD group meetings and 1-on-1 coaching are facilitated by Insight to Influence's accredited PQ Mental Fitness Coaches.
This might sound like a lot of time, but your happiness and wellbeing are absolutely worth it! In fact, cumulatively, it constitutes less than 2% of your awake time for the duration of the program. 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.
While you'll be asked to read the first 8 chapters of the book, while participating in the program, you can't learn to drive a motor car by reading a book about it. The book provides the research foundations and introduces the tools and language. The video session guides you through experiential exercises that help you personalize the tools to your own personality, dominant saboteurs 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.
Even though the focus of the program is personal development, team leaders often call this program the best team building experience they have ever had. Participating in the program together significantly deepens trust and clears the air related to recurrent conflicts and unhelpful team dynamics. Since conflicts and disharmony is mostly generated by Saboteurs, this program gives the entire team a shared framework for helping each other grow, making decisions, responding to setbacks, and managing different styles and agendas.
