Positive Intelligence

Your mind is your best friend. But it can also be your worst enemy.

Every day, your mind is sabotaging your performance, wellbeing and your relationships. All your negative emotions, including stress are the result of self-sabotaging.

Our breakthrough, research-based tools strengthen the part of your brain that serves you and quiet the part that sabotages you. You handle life’s challenges with a more positive mindset, and less stress.

We call this mental fitness.

Experience immediate and sustained improvements in both your wellbeing and performance.

The results are clear. A survey of over 2000 Positive Intelligence Program participants after six weeks of mental fitness training shows that PQ helps:

Boost performance

  • 90% Use mental and emotional energy more effectively
  • 76% Improve their ability to develop others
  • 92% Are better at teamwork and collaboration
 
Improve Wellbeing

  • 85% Increase happiness
  • 91% Manage stress better
  • 83% Improve self-confidence


Strengthen Relationships

  • 82% Improve relationships
  • 84% Are better at managing conflict
  • 97% Improve empathy

Seven weeks can make a difference. I can help.

I am a trained PQCoach™. Join this cohort-based program and I can help you.

  • Learn what’s behind your unhelpful, automatic reactions.
  • Develop the mental fitness to neutralize those reactions.
  • Grow in your ability to function as a non-anxious presence.
 
The seven-week program begins April 27, 2026 and will help you grow as a non-anxious presence. Here’s what’s involved.
 
  • One (1) hour each week, on your own, learning how PQ works.
  • One (1) hour each week in a PQ Pod (cohort) of up to eight people. I will be your Pod Facilitator. You’ll select your available days/times when you register and will be assigned a Pod accordingly.
  • About 15 minutes/day doing PQ reps to strengthen your mental fitness.

What others have experienced
 
There are many systems that strive to explain why and how we sabotage ourselves–Eneagram, family systems, Meyers Briggs, etc.–I’ve spent money and time on therapy to understand and learn how not to let my “stuff” get in the way. But this is the first system that actually provides a way forward. Beyond identifying the problem, my saboteurs, this is the first system that has a way to improve my responses and rewire my brain. Jack’s coaching reinforced and made the system readily accessible.

In less than 2 months I experienced such profound shifts in my stress levels, ability to perform well without expending excess energy, and rewired my procrastination tendencies. The program was well designed and the app was easy (and satisfying) to use. The weekly pod meetings provided accountability without stress. This was highly rewarding, helping me develop new habits that have carried forward.

I learned useful tools to help me take charge of my day to day automatic reactions. I look forward to growing in my daily practice so I can show up as my best self more often!

PQ with Jack wasn’t just a program… it was a return to my true north. The teachings of Edwin Friedman had already reshaped how I understood leadership, but I didn’t know how to live them until I experienced this course. Jack is not your typical coach. His work feels like part of his soul’s architecture (spirit-guided, deeply rooted in integrity, and grounded in the wisdom of A Failure of Nerve). The way he weaves Friedman’s teachings with PQ creates a rare alchemy: it’s not just mindset work, it’s nervous system work. You don’t just hear new ideas… you become someone capable of living them. What sets this program apart is that it trains you in the actual muscles of resilience, clarity, and connection. The outcomes? I now respond differently. I hold my center more easily. And these changes aren’t conceptual… they’re embodied.

I learned about my saboteurs and where they came from and how they were intended to protect / serve me. I liked gaining the awareness that our reactions in life are like warning signs that we need not focus on for longer than one second. Finally, I appreciated co-learning the material with the members of my PQ Pod.

Generally, I am feeling calmer and happier. When I notice that I am anxious or restless, I know where I am, I smile, thinking of Shirzad’s voice catching the judge and the perspective changes. I do PQ reps when I feel tired, but I still need to work. It helps me find new energy and motivation.

This was a terrific program, blending some principles of mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems into a “gamified” ecosystem. The frequent prompts and reminders helped keep us on track, as well as the weekly “pod” meetings where we debriefed on our successes and struggles. Over the past few weeks I’ve been better able to catch myself in Judge mode and respond more skillfully to challenging circumstances and relationships. All in all I highly recommend this program and Jack’s implementation of it.
