PQ for Self Worth
Move over NLP, PQ is here!
Ready to rewire your neural pathways?
Mental Fitness is the X-Factor.
To owning your Self Worth.
To having Inner Peace so you can hear your Inner Sage.
To manifest your desired reality.
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 relationships 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.
PQ for Self Worth + Manifestation
AKA: Divine Co-Creation
You can only manifest that which you feel worthy of having.
Self Worth = Self Love + Accurate Mirrors
Self Love is the radical idea that being yourself is enough.
Self Love is colored by your internalization of Mirrors.
Accurate Mirrors is the dance of understanding what is your inner truth, while simultaneously intaking information the world around you reflects back.
PQ is the road to honoring your inner truth, while intaking information the world reelects back in a way that allows you to keep a positive vibrational frequency.
Manifestation
Not only does PQ support manifestation through solidifying your Self Worth, but also...
Manifestation is based off of your dominate vibration.
As you strengthen your Mental Fitness (PQ) Muscles, you will be able to shift out of low vibrational thoughts rapidly, ergo allowing you to have a positive dominate vibration. That high vibration where Quantum Manifesting is possible.
Measuring Mental Fitness (PQ)
Mental fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).
Saboteurs react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, disappointment, self-doubt, regret, anger, shame, guilt, or worry.
Your Sage handles challenges through positive emotions like empathy, gratitude, curiosity, creativity, self-confidence, and calm, clear-headed, laser-focused action.
The relative strength of your positive Sage versus negative Saboteurs is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).
PQ is the measure of your Mental Fitness. It's the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.
You can boost your PQ significantly with practice.

3 core muscles constitute mental fitness
3 Core Muscles of Mental Fitness
3 Core muscles constitute your mental fitness:
1. Saboteurs Interceptor Muscle
Your Saboteurs generate all your negative emotions, including stress, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, avoidance, procrastination, insensitivity or discontent.
Mental fitness requires the ability to intercept and discredit the Saboteurs.
2. Sage Muscle
Your Sage is the one in you that handles challenges with a clear and calm mind, and positive emotions. It also has access to your 5 primary powers.
All you need to paint any canvas is 3 primary colors. Similarly, through factor analysis research we’ve discovered that there are only 5 primary powers: Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate.
For peak performance, you learn to boost all 5 powers and know when to use which power.
3. Self-Command Muscle
You’re not in full command of your mind. If you were, you would choose to entirely silence the Saboteurs in your head. You would choose to not stress out over what you can’t control, push away self-doubts, recover from disappointments immediately, and spend little time in anger, regret, or blame.
PQ Reps are innovative 10-second exercises which build up this crucial Self-Command muscle in the brain. You learn to run your brain, rather than allow your Saboteur-hijacked brain to run you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right program for me?
This is the right program for you if you are a) committed to improving your performance and effectiveness dramatically while reducing stress, b) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick, and c) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don't serve you.
Aren't negative emotions sometimes helpful?
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 helpful for continual improvement.
Feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove is indeed useful, delivering an important alert. But your Saboteurs keep your hand on the hot stove, continuing to feel negative emotions which harm both performance and happiness.
In this program we learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert, and then quickly shift to the positive region of the brain that has the calm clarity, objectivity, and creativity to handle the challenge most effectively.
Who will lead the Positive Intelligence Program?
The author of Positive Intelligence, Shirzad Chamine will personally conduct each of the weekly video sessions.
I, Gemma Dadourian of Gemma Verified, will be serving as your personal coach on your PQ for Self Worth journey . As a spiritual mentor for self development, I am available to support you from a spiritual perspective. Including but not limited to custom meditation when saboteurs arise, and dream analysis.
Who is Shirzad?
Shirzad Chamine is the New York Times bestselling author of Positive Intelligence, translated into 20 languages. He has been CEO of the largest coach training organization in the world and has trained faculty at Stanford and Yale business schools.
Shirzad lectures on Positive Intelligence at Stanford University and works with Stanford’s NCAA athletes. A preeminent C-suite advisor, Shirzad has coached hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams. His background includes graduate level studies in neuroscience in addition to a BA in psychology, an MS in electrical engineering, and an MBA from Stanford.
How much time and effort is required?
You'd be committing to watching a 1-hour video once per week and doing a combined total of 15 minutes per day of practice guided by the Positive Intelligence app exclusively designed for this program. Plus ~60 minute per week of pod group coaching.
This might sound like a lot of time. In fact, cumulatively, it constitutes less than 2% of your awake time for the duration of the program. Please consider that 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 six-weeks investment will save for years to come.
How is this different from reading the book?
You'd never learn to ride a bicycle by reading a book about it. You'll be asked to read the first 8 chapters of the book while participating in the program. The book provides the research foundation and introduces the tools. The video session guides you through experiential exercises that help you personalize the tools to your own personality 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.
