Mental Fitness (PQ) the X-Factor in Performance, Business & Happiness
Do you want the foundations for a successful business & life?
When you’re mentally fit, you can handle life’s great challenges without mental stress or other negative emotions.
You’ll be happier and perform better.

Measuring Mental Fitness
Mental fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).
This measure of your Mental Fitness is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).
​
Research with 500,000 participants has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.


PQ Training
Boosting your mental fitness requires building powerful new muscles in your brain, not just insight.
Combining weekly video sessions and an exclusive App, Shirzad Chamine guides you step-by-step over a six-week period to boost the 3 core muscles of mental fitness.
The increased grey matter in the “Sage” region of the brain is visible in MRI imaging within 8 weeks.
The experience is often described as lifechanging.
3 Core Muscles of Mental Fitness
​
3 Core muscles constitute your mental fitness:
1. Saboteurs Interceptor Muscle You 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.

“A brilliant breakthrough.”
"The Positive Intelligence (PQ) model is a brilliant breakthrough as it defines, measures, and improves your awareness of your own performance and happiness. It also helps solve the mystery of why so many smart people still fail to be successful."

Breakthrough Results
​
Within 6-8 weeks of mental fitness training you'd be able to see the results in MRI imaging:
-
Increased grey matter in the PQ Brain region, where your Sage lives
-
Decreased grey matter in the Survivor Brain region, where your Saboteurs live
Improvements in these competencies lead to substantial results:
-
At MetLife, trained salespeople outsold the control group by 37%
-
Motorola recorded improved productivity in 93% of trained employees
-
In a UK restaurant group, higher competency resulted in 34% greater profit growth
-
At Sanofi-Aventis Pharmeceutical, the average salesperson with improved competency sold $55,200 more per month
-
At L’Oreal, strength in these competencies resulted in $91,370 increase per sales person
-
At CIBC, strength in these competencies account for 32% of booked sales and 71% of pipeline sales

"Life changing on so many levels."
"Most of the trainings I’ve done fizzle out very quickly. I started this program a year ago and its impact on me keeps growing. It has been life changing on so many levels.
"I’m so much more effective and have so much less stress in every area of my life — from blowing past revenue targets at work, to far more fulfilling relationships at home."
- Bruce Zali, VP of Sales & Marketing, Promise Technology
