Positive Intelligence (PQ)
Positive Intelligence®️ blends Neuroscience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology with Performance Science. Research has revealed that there are only 10 negative response factors (10 Saboteurs) and only five positive response factors (5 Sage Powers).
Discovering which Saboteurs are controlling your thoughts so you can see them comong and learn to intercept them is what Positive Intelligence (PQ) is all about.
Intercepting one’s Saboteurs and activating one’s Sage automatically results in a wide array of impacts including stress management, relationship improvement, performance, selling and persuasion, creativity, leadership, resilience, and happiness.
This is because we are rewiring the brain at the root level rather than treating symptoms. PQ is all about creating new Neural Pathways!
What exactly is a Saboteur?
They are the voices and thoughts in our heads that feast on our limiting beliefs and convinces us we cant have things, or arent good enough. They are the bullies that live inside our minds who try to Sabotage our lives and prevent us from living the life we want and the life we deserve.
Saboteurs
- Brainstem, limbic system & parts of the left brain
- Stress, fear, anxiety
- Attention on past or future
- Thinking "hard", hurried, panic
Sage
- Middle prefrontal cortex, empathy circuitry, parts of the right brain
- Calm, clear headed, laser focused
- Attention 100% present
