Positive Intelligence Program

Improve your mental fitness & emotional agility in 6 weeks

Jan 9, 2024 - Feb 13, 2024

Mental fitness, like physical fitness, is critical to thriving and reaching our full potential. The positive intelligence eight-week program strengthens mental fitness, cultivates laser-focused attention, increases resilience to respond with calm confidence, and improves the ability to tap into creative problem-solving. Proven skills to effectively manage stress and navigate emotions.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn to identify, recognize and intercept thoughts, habits, and patterns that no longer serve you. The practice will simultaneously activate and strengthen the region of your brain that supports highly effective stress-free performance and optimal response. 

The positive intelligence quotient (PQ) measures your mastery of mental focus and resiliency. It identifies what percentage of time your mind spends in either the “sage” or “saboteur” state.  While your IQ (intelligence) and EQ (emotional intelligence) contribute to your maximum potential, it is your PQ that determines how much of your full potential you actually achieve.  

Through simple, actionable, science-based practices, the positive intelligence course raises your PQ significantly during this seven-week intensive.

During this course you will learn:

Tools, techniques, and practices to improve your performance, effectiveness, and happiness while reducing stress. This proven systematic approach results in developing new neural pathways to rewire years of mental habits that no longer serve you. This course will develop the three core muscles that constitute mental fitness: sage muscles, saboteur interceptor muscles, and self-command muscles.

1. Sage Muscle

The Sage resides in the region of your brain responsible for handling challenges with clarity, calm confidence, and positive emotional response. This part of the brain engages your five primary powers: empathy, exploration, innovation, navigation, and activation to solve any life challenge optimally.

2. Saboteurs Interceptor Muscle

Saboteurs live in the region of your brain that generates emotions such as stress, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, avoidance, procrastination, insensitivity, or discontent. While negative emotions are helpful and necessary to provide information, staying in them for prolonged periods is unnecessary and undermines your potential. 

By strengthening the saboteur interceptor muscle, you learn to skillfully identify and intercept the competing commitments that make you immune to change. Mental fitness requires the ability to intercept and release the grip of what keeps people stuck.

3. Self-Command Muscle

True transformation is 20% learning and insight and 80% practice and muscle building. Exercising positive quotient reps in 10-second increments (PQ reps) develops the crucial self-command muscle, enabling you to respond rather than react.  As a result, this practice breaks the self-sabotage cycles and retrains your mind and thought patterns to work for, not against you. 

After this course you will have:

  • Emotional agility.

  • Ability to break the unconscious cycles undermining your own advancements.

  • A mastery of mindfulness-based techniques to relax and focus the mind for stress regulation, behavioral thought pattern rewiring, and performance optimization.

  • Reduced stress response.

  • Enhanced creativity and innovative thinking skills.

  • Ability to skillfully identify the competing commitments and sabotaging behaviors that make you immune to change.

  • Expanded awareness.

  • A solid understanding and demonstrated use of emotional intelligence.

  • Adaptive resilience skills to navigate uncertainty, manage stress, and increase the speed of recovery from failures and setbacks.

  • Increased capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than negative mindset.

PQ Testimonials

“I have been doing mindfulness (on and off for sure) for over 12 years and this approach has helped me manage stress and stay centered more than any approach I have tried.

The approach has helped me with my negative self-talk and staying out of the 'spin cycle'!   I feel like it's so relevant to so many of us right now with so much stress -

There is an app that supports the course that is so well done and easy to use. It makes it really easy to create new habits.”

KF | Portland, Oregon

“The PQ program is like the toolbox I’ve been looking for - the piece of the puzzle that can turn insight into behavior.

I highly recommend this course to anyone on the path of self-knowledge or self-improvement; it actually teaches you the skills that make up healthier mental habits rather than promising you a magic wand.

After taking the course - I don’t feel like I’ve been transformed into another person, but I can move through the world more calmly- as my whole self.

Doing the work helps you feel more even-keeled. Also, in the few weeks since I finished the course, when I’ve had times of feeling worn out or overwhelmed, I upped my PQ practice and it really moved me back into a calmer space.”

JE | Astoria, Oregon

“After taking the eight-week, Positive Intelligence course with Clair as our coach and personal guide; I am better prepared for life's stresses and the incorporation of a mindfulness practice into my daily life, both professionally and personally.

Learning how to be more pre-emptive with known stressful situations, so as to maintain a clear and focused mindset was one of my goals that the Positive Intelligence course supported.

I continue to use the PQ Reps, course videos and App today, building my mental fitness on a daily basis. Thank you!! “

“The pacing of the class, the way the material unfolded, and the ease of the app-led program made this one of my favorite remote learning courses. Over eight weeks of working with Clair, I deepened my awareness of being a more effective communicator and listener and feel better prepared to navigate stress. I learned how to use PQ reps as a tool to develop my ability to respond rather than react under pressure and intercept unhelpful thought patterns. I am better able to manage stress and uncertainty, and I am more self-aware due to this course.”

MA | Course participant

I looked forward to our weekly group calls and found the contribution from others valuable. I loved the accountability and guidance Clair offered in the group and I appreciate the wonderful new connections I made.

I found the work very engaging, and I really enjoyed seeing myself grow and change. I've been enjoying a slow but very noticeable positive effect in my life from it. “
