25+ BIG PHAT Soul- Level Reasons to Join the Positive Intelligence Program

1. Transformation comes from building mental muscle

You can read all the books, watch all the videos, and listen to all the podcasts, but change doesn’t come from insight alone.

Only 20% of lasting behaviour change comes from insight. The other 80% comes from building the mental muscle.

Real change doesn’t happen by knowing something. It happens by doing, applying, by taking daily action steps.

Positive Intelligence (PQ) gives you the daily focus exercises to build powerful mental fitness muscles and create change that lasts.

2. PQ is clinically proven to rewire your brain

MRI scans have shown that participants in the program light up new neural pathways. Positive Intelligence is neuroscience in action.

3. PQ transforms your relationships

Positive Intelligence helps you identify your patterns of reactivity and shift into compassion, presence, and clarity, so you show up as your highest self with your partner, kids, friends, clients, and colleagues. Well, everyone, really. Even the people we see as difficult.

4. PQ improves your performance

You’ll stop spinning your wheels, trying to hustle harder, and start taking the kind of calm, focused, aligned action that moves the needle.

5. PQ boosts your well-being

Stress levels drop. Sleep improves. Joy increases. Your body and mind begin to relax into ease as your Saboteurs lose their grip.

6. PQ builds EQ

Positive Intelligence (PQ) builds Emotional Intelligence (EQ). If you’re a coach, healer, leader, teacher, or even a parent or partner… scratch that… let’s tell it like it is… if you’re human, this one’s a game-changer.

In the original Positive Intelligence research, the PQ Foundation program was found to boost the root-level building blocks that automatically enable 17 of the 18 EQ competencies. Participants in the research program reported improvements in their…

Emotional self-awareness
Accurate self-assessment
Self-confidence
Emotional self-control
Transparency
Adaptability
Achievement
Initiative
Optimism
Developing others
Inspirational leadership
Change catalyst
Influence
Conflict management
Teamwork and collaboration
Empathy
Service orientation
Organizational awareness was the only EQ competency that didn’t show a significant improvement after 8 weeks of PQ.

7. You learn how you self-sabotage. And how to stop.

You’ll meet the voices in your head that have been driving your behavior and learn exactly how to interrupt them with powerful, practical tools. In Positive Intelligence, these are called our saboteurs.

Here are all 10 saboteurs. See if you can see yourself in any of these.

Or better still, take the Positive Intelligence Saboteur Assessment and find out which ones are affecting you the most.

Avoider – Avoids difficult tasks and conflict, choosing short-term comfort over long-term success.
Controller – Needs to take charge and control people or situations to feel safe and achieve results.
Hyper-Achiever – Bases self-worth on constant performance and achievement, often at the cost of relationships and self-care.
Hyper-Rational – Focuses on logic and analysis to an extreme, often disconnecting from emotions and relationships.
Hyper-Vigilant – Feels intense, continuous anxiety and suspicion about all the dangers, everything that could go wrong.
Judge (The Master Saboteur) – Constantly criticizes self, others, or circumstances, robbing joy and peace.
Pleaser – Gains acceptance and affection by helping, while losing sight of one’s own needs.
Restless – Constantly seeks excitement and the next new thing, avoiding discomfort or emotional depth.
Stickler – Strives for perfection, order, and organization that can create anxiety and frustration.
Victim – Uses emotional expression and suffering to gain attention or affection, often feeling misunderstood.

8. You gain a Sage perspective

You start asking: What’s the gift and opportunity here?
And that one question can completely transform your experience of life.

9. The PQ Program is structured but gentle

The daily app delivers focus exercises that take about 15 minutes total, broken up into 2-3 minute slots, 3 times a day. They’re simple, focused, and kind. No overwhelm, just steady progress towards your bright shiny new, positive, and way more peaceful YOU.

10. PQ helps you return to yourself

That calm, wise, deeply joyful version of you? She’s not gone. She’s right here, just waiting for the noise to quiet down so she can RISE.

11. PQ helps you quiet your inner critic.

That constant voice whispering “not good enough”? You’ll finally learn how to turn down the volume — and turn up your inner wisdom.

12. You’ll uncover the real reason you overgive.

No more surface-level fixes. PQ gets to the root of overwhelm, exhaustion, and burnout, the Saboteurs running the show behind the scenes.

13. You’ll discover and develop the Sage within you.

This isn’t just mindset work. It’s a return to your essence: calm, creative, wise, and joyful. The YOU beneath the stress and striving.

You’ll learn how to develop the five sage powers of Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate. These help you counter the power of your saboteurs.

Over time, your saboteurs weaken, your fears and negative thoughts subside, and your positive sage powers grow.

This helps you enjoy a more balanced, productive, and fulfilling life, improving wellness, performance, and relationships.

Here’s a summary of how each sage power helps you handle life’s challenges with ease, joy, and flow.

Empathize: This power emphasizes showing empathy and compassion towards yourself and others. It involves understanding and sharing the feelings of others, creating a sense of connection and support.
Explore: This involves approaching situations with curiosity and an open mind. It encourages seeing the world through a lens of wonder and possibility, which can lead to innovative solutions and a deeper understanding of circumstances.
Innovate: This power focuses on creativity and thinking outside the box. It encourages brainstorming and generating new ideas, allowing you to reframe problems and discover novel solutions.
Navigate: This involves aligning your actions with your deeper values and purpose. It helps in making decisions that are not only effective but also meaningful and fulfilling, ensuring that you stay true to your core principles.
Activate: This power is about taking decisive action with a positive and forward-thinking mindset. It involves turning insights and ideas into reality through proactive steps and sustained effort.

14. PQ is backed by neuroscience and soul-aligned.

The science is solid, the shifts are sustainable, and the journey is deeply spiritual and self-loving.

15. You’ll build mental fitness, not just feel-good fluff.

PQ isn’t a quick fix. It’s a practice. And it’s practical. With tools you’ll use for life to respond, not react.

16. PQ is tailored for YOU

This program gets you. You’ll feel seen, understood, and finally free to create change from the inside out.
Why Positive Intelligence? Because it’s the science that understands your saboteurs are born out of your most positive traits.

17. You’ll stop outsourcing your self-worth.

No more waiting for applause or approval. PQ helps you feel enough just as you are, as you develop your empathy circuitry in the brain.

18. You’ll feel less stressed and more at peace.

Imagine having access to your inner calm, no matter what’s going on outside of you. That’s the PQ shift.

It all starts with PQ Reps, which are in the PQ Gym. PQ Reps are the foundation of mental fitness.

PQ Reps are similar to mindfulness exercises, except they are shorter in duration. Each rep is only 10 seconds long, and usually, 2 minutes of PQ-repping is long enough to calm your mind considerably and move you into your sage brain.

PQ Reps could be described as 2-minute meditations you can do in your day-to-day life. Anywhere. Anytime.

To do a PQ rep, you simply focus on one sensation at a time. I covered this in a previous post.

19. You’ll improve every relationship in your life.

When you stop fixing and pleasing, and start listening and leading from love… everything changes.

20. You become more whole-brained

After just 6–8 weeks in the program, MRI scans show increased grey matter in the prefrontal cortex (home of empathy, focus, and calm) and decreased activity in the limbic system, where fear, anger, and anxiety reside.

You’re not just learning, you’re reshaping and rewiring your brain.

21. You’ll build high-performance habits backed by research

92% of participants report better teamwork and collaboration, 90% say they use mental and emotional energy more effectively, and 76% improve their ability to develop others. PQ isn’t just personal growth — it’s leadership evolution.

22. You’ll become more emotionally resilient

In a world that keeps throwing curveballs, 91% of participants say they manage stress better, 85% report greater happiness, and 83% experience improved self-confidence. This is your buffer against burnout.

23. You’ll navigate conflict with compassion, not chaos

With 97% of participants reporting improved empathy and 84% saying they manage conflict better, PQ equips you to approach challenges with clarity, calm, and compassion — even when emotions run high.

24. You’ll get a full-spectrum upgrade – body, mind, and spirit

From stronger relationships to better sleep, clearer focus, and deeper joy, PQ doesn’t just improve one area of life — it elevates them all. This is holistic healing through neuroscience, mindfulness, and the heart.

25. You become part of a loving community

When you join the Positive Intelligence Program with me as your Guide, you’ll also be joining a pod of amazing fellow participants who are doing the program with you.

No judgment. No pressure. Just women supporting women on the path back to themselves.

Research proves you’re 500% more likely to succeed in our program when you have support. I have found that in every PQ pod I’ve led, I’ve never been the only Coach in the weekly meetings. I’ve found that all the participants have helped, supported, and coached each other as well.

Yes, I’m there to hold space, to coach and guide, where necessary. But you’ll have a group of other accountability and vulnerability partners available to you, too. And the group dynamic is something beautiful to witness.

Bonus Reason: Because you’re ready.

Ready to reclaim your joy.
Ready to reconnect with what lights you up.
Ready to receive as much as you give.

If that’s a yes in your heart, then trust it.

There’s a reason this program is so transformational — it’s not about doing more… it’s about being more of who you truly are.
