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

Every day, your mind sabotages your performance, well-being, and relationships. All of your negative emotions, including stress, frustration, and anxiety, are the result of this self-sabotage.

Positive Intelligence gives you the tools to identify and stop self-sabotage at the source.

  • Silence the Inner Critic
  • Unlock Peak Performance
  • Improve Well-Being
“Most change initiatives fizzle because of our mental saboteurs. Shirzad gives us the tools to conquer them and create positive change that lasts.”

  • “This training crossed multiple domains I’ve studied in the past and made application and consistency very easy. The small impacts were immediate. I find more joy and calm and shed anxiety, stress, and judgment much more efficiently throughout the day.”

    Chelsea Grace Intel

  • “What was surprising is that my initial goals were work-related, but the benefits I saw started at home first. I have felt more patient with my errors and learned to trust others more. Much like regular physical exercise helps with general immunity, these mental exercises do the same for mental health.”

    Sayandip Bhattacharya Turo

  • “The Positive Intelligence training program has greatly impacted my team. Having all members of leadership participate was a great contributor to our overall success. We are now better equipped for handling difficult situations and lean more on presuming positive intent.”

    Emma Dougherty Great Minds

  • “The training has fundamentally changed the way I think and approach every communication and encounter in life. I now don’t just hope I make it through what I would have anticipated as difficult moments — I KNOW I can turn them into positive experiences.”

    Megumi Barberi King County

  • “Recognizing my Saboteurs has helped me with communication and stepping back on trying to control outcomes. Letting others do more for themselves actually gives them their power back — power I did not realize I was taking. This has empowered me to let go and release stress”

    Brenda Lee Loder King County

  • “The Positive Intelligence Program is the one that puts theory into a regular practice anyone can follow. It does this through right-sized training and a great app. The Pod support enabled us to bring the program to life inside our daily work. We recommend this for anyone starting out or continuing their mindfulness journey.”

    Tom Searles MDMi

  • “The Positive Intelligence Program and framework have allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of my mind. Identifying and labeling my ‘Judge’ and my ‘Saboteurs’ has been and will continue to be life-changing. I am committed to continuing on with a daily practice of PQ Reps. I find them centering and much easier to do than traditional meditation.”

    Meghan Paradise UCHealth

  • “This is the only program I’ve ever encountered that actually utilizes more than insight alone to get science-based improvements regarding mental fitness! It is truly a mental health fitness program that becomes an Operating System from which to navigate life.”

    KP King U.S. Department of the Navy

  • “This is the first time that I have found the key insights from positive psychology, mindfulness, Buddhism, Stoicism, CBT, ACT, and MCT therapy assembled into a complete yet memorable and compact system of daily practice — though under different labels. It’s an operating system for a full and flourishing mind and life. It’s a daily habit that I intend to sustain for the rest of my life.”

    Graham Poulter Google

  • “I never fully appreciated the wasted time, effort, and opportunity I was self-inflicting by firstly not recognizing and then managing my Judge and Saboteurs. While I had developed coping methods over time, and then fine-tuned those with experience and job progression, the PQ Program showed me how much more I could achieve.”
