Is this the right program for me?

This is the right program for you if you are...
1) committed to improving productivity & relationships while reducing stress
2) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick
3) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don't serve you. 

Isn't it true that negative emotions are 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 that 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?

Shirzad Chamine will personally conduct each of the weekly video sessions. Shirzad also participates in the exclusive online community of the program to answer questions, and cheer you on.

Connie Kadansky will provide weekly personal coaching check-ins either directly with you in one-on-one coaching sessions, or in a small group format. You choose the type of support you need! Connie is a Master Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation and currently working with Shirzad Chamine in bringing the PQ Program to a broad audience. 

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.

This program also includes personal coaching support from Connie in weekly, 30-minue one-on-one sessions, or 45-minute small group “Pod” virtual zoom calls. All-in-all, about 2 hours per week is all that's needed.

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 eight 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.  

Can I participate with my team?

Even though the focus of the program is individual development, going through this program together significantly deepens trust and helps clear the air related to recurring conflicts since they're mostly generated by Saboteurs. It gives the entire group a common framework for helping each other grow, making decisions, responding to setbacks, and managing conflicting styles and agendas.
