Since starting this program I often wonder how many relationships could have been salvaged had I had this level of insight into my saboteurs and judge
In terms of both time and cost, this program may be the best “self-improvement” investment I’ve ever made. Certainly more practical and effective for me than talk therapy or reading a ton about happiness and productivity. This program has helped me build sustainable capacity within to tame the harsh and fruitless voice of my Inner Judge. When The Judge, who is the culprit at the heart of my dissatisfaction, does try to take over, I now have simple, two-minute techniques I can use to recover quickly and choose a more productive response. The ongoing supportive community that’s practicing along with me, speaks the same Saboteur-and-Sage language, and is available to me after the program, is a major bonus!
It has been amazing. It allows me to think or calm down before reacting. It reminds me to be conscious of expressing more gratitude, even for the little things. I am much more conscious, empathetic and relaxed when dealing with difficult situations.
I lost my 94-year-old mother to complications after major cancer surgery last February. Then the pandemic hit, we locked down, and my work dried up. So did my husband’s. On top of it, our two teenage sons struggled with the sudden loss of school activities, opportunities to be with friends, and the shift to distance learning. Things snowballed from bad to worse, and we found ourselves a family in crisis. I wasn’t sleeping, we were wracked with worry, and we felt helpless to change the direction things were heading in.
Coincidentally, one of my clients told me about Positive Intelligence™ and the 7-week brain retraining program.
I took it thinking it would be valuable for my coaching clients. I stand behind it now because it helped me ingrain – like the muscle memory we learn through repeated practice of a physical motion – positive thinking habits. As a result, I feel more calm and optimistic day to day.
I am able to interrupt worrying patterns faster and become more resourceful and directed. I navigate layers of stress with a sharpened ability to find silver-linings and embrace and accept what I can not control.
In my 22 years coaching executives, leaders, and teams, I can say with confidence that no other process or program I have used is as effective at helping clients embed positive thinking habits and expand self-awareness as quickly as the 7-Week Intensive combined with coaching.
I’ve been coaching clients using Positive Intelligence™ for several years. When the 7-Week Intensive was offered to coaches last spring, I took it to deepen my proficiency.
I was surprised by how profoundly the program changed my life, given that I’d already been applying the model via the book. In the first 2 weeks, I learned how significantly my inner “Judge,” a negative character you explore in the program, was affecting my life, and my family’s by proxy. How it was poisoning my mood and perspective with its doomsday messaging.
I began doing the recommended mental exercises, prompted by the program’s “PQ app” and, in a few more weeks, went from feeling like I was getting kicked in the stomach when I looked at the “latest” on my phone to a more peaceful state of mind. From getting that familiar sinking into the abyss feeling, to quickly noticing it and shifting out before negative thoughts could hijack me.
My own mother was so intrigued by my experience that she took the program next and invited 5 friends to join her in a “pod.” A few weeks in, she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. To my amazement, after a brief time of “taking it in,” she faced her diagnosis as a gift. She looked at it as her opportunity to reach out and connect again, after feeling isolated for too long.
I know my mother would be on a very different journey today had she not done the program. She and friends continue to meet post-program and are supporting each other on their own Positive Intelligence journeys.
Train your brain to notice and quickly shift out of patterned negativity
Avoid the cascade of negative consequences on yourself and those you care about when stress and negativity would normally get the upper hand
Begin to access your “superpowers,” 6 powers every human has at the ready that bring greater joy, connection, and purposeful action
Fear they’ll fall short of expectations – yours and society’s.
Are afraid to make mistakes
Worry about college, fitting in, or the number of likes they get on a social post
Wonder what will even be possible for them, given current limitations
Bottle up their stress, making it hard for us to reach them
Are living with you temporarily to find their own direction or financial stability
When you enroll in the 7-Week Intensive, you gift yourself and your family new inner resources that will serve you now and last a lifetime.
I am not beating myself up because I did bad on an assignment or didn’t perform as I wanted to on a test. Instead I’ve learned to take these failures as an opportunity to improve and work harder.
I am more self aware.
I really feel like this has helped me take an emotional toll off myself. It’s taught me that stressing about every minor detail isn’t worth it and I should just enjoy the now. I’m also a lot better at creating gifts out of hardships, but that it’s also ok to not be ok sometimes.
Learn to recognize and weaken your top 3 saboteurs and their age-old patterns – patterns that start when we are very little — that stand in the way of enjoying greater peace of mind, healthier relationships and focused action.
Learn and begin building a positive mindset charge throughout your day. Begin using brain exercises strategically to better handle stressful situations. Grow your Sage brain’s ability to take charge, even when your Saboteur brain feels threatened. Begin shifting your mind’s focus on command. Bounce back faster.
Move beyond finding “silver linings” and begin the practice of actively converting challenging situations and circumstances into gifts and opportunities. Learn the 3 Gifts Technique to find opportunity in setbacks.
When one part of your brain screams “I can’t deal with this,” you will have a bridge to access specific skills proven to help you handle situations with positivity, compassion, resourcefulness, purpose, and laser-focused action.

This program will benefit every single human (unless you are already at a Dalai Lama-level of consciousness).
We humans are not typically trained to notice where we get in our own way; how to build mental muscles that can shift our minds into positivity on command; how to consciously step into better versions of ourselves. This is a unique, simplified approach to offer you just that.
You should not enroll until you are sure you can make the time commitment needed to get the most out of it and are open and ready to learn.
The total weekly time commitment needed to get solid results is 4.5 hours:
1 hour – watch weekly video (can do this over the weekend)
1 hour – live weekly learning pod meeting (on a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday)
1/2 hour – share your insights and questions with your pod group in a private on-line chat, during the week, when it’s convenient for you
15 minutes daily engaging with the app for self-command exercises and goal-directed self-reporting
Prerequisite: You must have a smartphone to access all video content and the PQ app.
If you think you will miss more than 2 of the weekly pod meetings, we recommend you wait to register until you can make the time commitment. You will get less out of the experience and your pod members will lose out, not having you there!
There are many benefits of doing the program together:
If you go through the program solo:
Week of April 4: Onboarding – download the PQ app, get set up, and explore the PQ Gym
April 10: First video is released
April 11, 12, or 13: First Pod meeting – 90 minutes; thereafter, one hour weekly. You select best date/time option when you register
Week of May 24: Final pod meeting: program concludes
Pod meeting options include:
Sunday evenings – 5-6pm
Monday mornings – 8-9 am, 10-11 am, 1-2 pm
Monday afternoons – 3-4pm, 4-5pm
Monday evenings – 7:30-8:30pm
Tuesday mornings – 8-9 am
Adults and teens are assigned to separate pods, with their peers.
Please let us know if you would like to be in a pod with a friend who is also enrolling.
Five people per pod keeps the experience personal and engaging.
First, Positive IntelligenceTM has distilled many methodologies and concepts on how humans thrive into just three core skill sets. The framework is simple, doable, and all you need to shift out of negativity and gain more control over your mindset from day to day, moment to moment.
Here’s what further differentiates this program:
Accountability, do-ability, and engagement guarantee you will get results.
Mindfulness alone isn’t enough to help us switch up our thinking patterns and overcome our Saboteurs. The 7-week intensive gives you a complete and simplified framework for literally growing your mental muscles and powering your life from a positive mindset.
