Build Mental Fitness with Positive Intelligence (PQ)®

What is PQ?

PQ is a measure of your mental fitness, your capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset. Developed by Shirzad Chamine, the PQ framework helps you identify and weaken your internal saboteurs and strengthen your inner sage — the part of you that handles adversity with clarity, calm, and creativity.

Seven-Week Mental Fitness Foundation

The CVHEG Coaching Program follows the Positive Intelligence (PQ) model, guiding participants through a structured seven-week experience designed to quiet inner Saboteurs and strengthen the positive, empowering voice of the sage. Each week builds core mental fitness skills that form the foundation for stronger leadership, focus, and well-being.

Explore the impact of your internal Judge through guided reflection or visualization. Learn how to catch this Saboteur in action and begin replacing judgment with awareness and celebration.

Identify your top Saboteurs beyond the Judge. Develop the skill of noticing their patterns, interrupting their influence, and applying targeted counter-strategies to shift your mindset.

Access the Empathize Power of the Sage through experiential exercises. Use your own unique entry point to tap into self-compassion and empathy for others, unlocking calm and connection.

Learn how to view any challenge as a potential gift or opportunity. Activate the powers of Explore and Innovate to approach situations with curiosity, creativity, and resilience.

Bring greater ease and purpose to your actions. Practice using the Activate Power to lead with clarity, decisiveness, and flow rather than stress and reactivity.

Connect with what truly matters to you. Engage in reflective practices that bring the Navigate Power forward, helping you align decisions and actions with your core values. Learn how to sustain your progress beyond the program through continued PQ practice.

Aligned with the Positive Intelligence Program

The Coaching Program is designed around the proven methods of the PQ framework.

Dedicate less than 15 minutes per day to easy, app-guided exercises tailored to your unique Saboteur profile and designed to help you build consistent, focused repetition.

Weekly Focus

Each week features a 1-hour video session that introduces a specific mental fitness skill, providing insights and tools to apply throughout the week.

Progress is tracked through the PQ app, and many participants notice meaningful shifts within just a few weeks — with neuroscience research showing brain changes can begin as early as 8 weeks.

Community Support

Our CVHEG-backed coaches will match you with a “pod” of no more than 5 people. Your pod group will offer a space for connection, reflection, and accountability — a key element in sustaining lasting change.
