Take the Next Step in Transforming Your Coaching

Your PQ Coaching Grant Program has come to an end. But this may only be the start of something new.

You’re invited to continue your growth through PQ Coach Membership — a complete support system designed to transform your Self, your Coaching, and your Business.

I'm Ready to Join!

Watch the PQ Coach Q&A Replay

I was so happy to answer your questions during our extended live session earlier. It is always exciting to hear from coaches all over the world!

Your Coaching Grant Was Just the Beginning

I created the PQ Coaching Grant Program because I believe coaches hold the key to healing and uniting our world. More than 100,000 coaches joined — making it the largest movement in coaching history.

The grant was just the start. What comes next is even more powerful:

  • A way to keep growing and deepening your personal transformation
  • A way to coach more powerfully and create lasting impact
  • A way to build a thriving, prosperous practice that supports your purpose

That’s why I created PQ Coach Membership — to help you keep growing your Self, your Coaching, and your Business with the support of a proven system and community.

Why PQ Coach Membership?

Most coaches face the same challenges:

  • Clients inspired in sessions, but falling back into old habits afterward

  • Difficulty attracting and enrolling consistent paying clients

  • A business model that feels scarce, overwhelming, or unsustainable

PQ Coach membership goes to root cause to solve these problems. It combines mental fitness, coaching mastery, and business development — powered by the PQ ecosystem — to give you and your clients results that last.

As a PQ Coach,
You Will

Deliver Real Client Transformation
Leverage the PQ Operating System so clients not only gain insights in session but also practice daily with the PQ app — turning new awareness into lifelong habits.

Grow a Sustainable Business
Follow the Sage Business Development track to attract clients, build confidence in your niche, and grow your coaching practice without burnout or sales pressure.

Stand Out in a Crowded Market
Offer coaching powered by technology that accelerates client transformation and creates measurable results.

Join a Movement of Coaches Changing the World
Work directly with Shirzad, the PQ team, and a global coach community committed to Sage leadership and positive impact.

What’s Included in PQ Coach Membership

  • Master PQ Coaching with a Proven System

    The PQ Coaching track gives you a complete roadmap to structure every client session. You’ll use the PQ Coaching Life Cycle and the PQ Operating System to guide clients through the Five Sage Powers, turning insights into lasting habits. Whether you’re just starting out or already a Master Certified Coach, you’ll quickly gain the confidence and clarity to deliver transformational coaching.

  • Sage Business Development: The 4 Pillars of Growth

    With expert guidance from Shirzad and the PQ team, you’ll build your business around four simple, powerful pillars: choosing your niche, creating an irresistible offer, generating appointments, and converting those conversations into paying clients. More than tactics, it’s about mindset. You’ll also tackle the Saboteurs that hold you back — shifting from fear and scarcity into Sage ease and flow.

  • PQ App Access for You and Your Clients

    Your membership includes continued access to the PQ app for yourself plus enrollment for your first five clients each year at no extra cost — a $5,000 value. Clients receive the same transformational PQ Program you experienced, including app-guided practice, weekly training, and community support. This gives you a proven way to serve clients immediately while deepening your own Sage powers.

  • Coach Dashboard for Client Enrollment & Tracking

    Enroll, monitor, and engage with your clients or prospects as they progress through the PQ Program. Through your personal Coach Dashboard, you’ll track each client’s progress, see their muscle points, send messages, and support Pods. This lets you stay connected between sessions, tailor your coaching, and retain clients long-term.

     

  • PQ Coach Launchpad for Fast Results

    Want structure to get started strong? The 6-week Launchpad experience provides live training, small-group practice, and done-for-you templates. You’ll guide prospects through the Saboteur Assessment and Discovery Session, then learn how to make authentic, Sage-powered enrollment offers. By the end, most coaches have their first paying client — and the confidence to grow from there.

  • Live Coaching & Business Mastery Sessions

    Every week, you can join live calls with Shirzad and the PQ team. These include open Q&A, deep-dive application sessions, and practice pods where you refine your skills and workshop real client challenges. All calls are recorded, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit the material any time.

  • Exclusive PQ Branding & Marketing Assets

    We provide tested keynote decks, workshop slides, and marketing templates that have helped coaches land $25,000 keynotes and corporate contracts. These assets save you time and help you show up with credibility and confidence in front of clients and organizations.

  • Daily Access to the PQ Coach Community

    Inside the private PQ Coach channel in the PQ app, you’ll connect daily with Shirzad, the PQ team, and coaches worldwide. This is where you’ll ask questions, share wins, and stay motivated. You’ll also join Communities of Practice organized by focus areas like leadership, DEIB, family life, spirituality, and more.

  • Continuing Education & Career Growth

    Your membership qualifies you for up to 80 ICF Continuing Coach Education units, and the right to describe yourself as a PQ Coach. Our coach marketplace connects you with clients worldwide who want the best in science-backed mental fitness coaching.

  • PQ Applications for Real-World Challenges

    You’ll access specialized modules that apply PQ to stress, conflict, parenting, productivity, and relationships. These give you ready-made ways to help clients navigate their biggest challenges with mental fitness tools they can practice daily.

  • Ongoing Personal & Professional Transformation

    As you grow your coaching practice, you’ll also continue strengthening your own Sage powers. The PQ Coach Membership isn’t just about business — it supports your whole life, from relationships to wellbeing to prosperity, so you can lead with joy and purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

PQ Coach Membership

PQ Coach is a membership program designed to earn your subscription for years to come. If you’re unsatisfied, you can cancel anytime with no lock-in.

You must have an active membership to take advantage of the membership benefits — including ongoing PQ Coaching and business development training, access to the included PQ Program for your clients or prospects, the use of Positive Intelligence Intellectual Property, live sessions, and community access.

Your PQ Coach membership will renew monthly or annually until you cancel — which is as simple as contacting the Support team. There’s absolutely no lock-in or minimum length of membership.

If you want to significantly increase your impact on each client and dramatically increase your client base, then full PQ Coach membership is for you!

PQ Coach includes not only the recorded training material from the PQ Coaching and Business Development track, but also a host of live training opportunities and access to our global community of coaches.

Your PQ Coach membership includes access to Launchpad, a six-week guided experience to help you get your first paying PQ client.

Most importantly, you get access to our technology platform to help bring PQ to your clients and prospects. And with that necessary experience, you are qualified to apply for certification — included in your membership at no cost.

We believe that full PQ Coach membership is the best choice for most coaches.

If you know that you’re unable to take advantage of the full PQ Coach membership at this time, but want to continue your journey with Positive Intelligence, we’ve created PQ Coach Essentials just for you.

PQ Coach Essentials includes the same high-quality recorded training from the PQ Coaching and Business Development tracks, as well as the supporting materials, so that you can learn at your own pace.

Note: PQ Coach Essentials does NOT include live lessons or Q&A and does not provide access to our technology platform.

The most cost-effective way to join PQ Coach is with our annual options. With savings of up to $300/year over the monthly subscription, annual membership is ideal for coaches who want to focus on growing their coaching practice without worrying about monthly fees.

Your membership is valid for a full year and will renew annually until you cancel.

We also offer monthly subscriptions that allow you to get started right away for the lowest up-front cost. (Note: Make sure to click the toggle above to select annual or monthly membership.)

As with any Positive Intelligence product, you can cancel any time within the first 30 days for a full refund — which is as simple as contacting my Support team.

Anyone who joins PQ Coach before Wednesday, December 3rd at 11:59pm Pacific Time will receive a special complimentary digital copy of my book as a sign of my gratitude.

All of the PQ Coach training sessions are delivered as online video lessons, just like the training you completed.

We also include supplementary materials like blueprints, customizable slide decks, and sample marketing materials that you can use in your coaching business. These are all available in your dedicated Learning Hub so you can find everything in one place.

During the first 6 weeks of your PQ Coach membership, PQ Coach Launchpad ensures you start strong with step-by-step guidance, and an action plan to help you get your first paying PQ client fast. Foundational learning and content are covered in these weekly live sessions. These sessions are optional to attend, and recordings for the first six weeks are available to watch.

Following PQ Coach Launchpad, you’ll be welcomed into our global community of PQ coaches and have access to regular live PQ Coach Q&A sessions and Application Sessions.

During the first 6 weeks of your PQ Coach membership, PQ Coach Launchpad ensures you start strong with step-by-step onboarding, live guidance, and an action plan to build momentum quickly. Foundational learning and content are covered in these weekly live sessions.

To accommodate the widest range of time zones, live sessions will be held every Tuesday at 9am Pacific Time (12pm Eastern Time) for the first six weeks of your membership. These sessions are optional to attend, and recordings for the first six weeks are available to watch.

Following the PQ Coach Launchpad experience, you will be invited to join live PQ Coach learning, practice, and Q&A sessions on Wednesdays. Attendance is optional, but we hope you will experience live sessions with the global PQ Coach community and us.

The content is truly self-paced. You can go through the lessons and resources as slowly or quickly as you want.

Our PQ Coach members range from part-time to full-time coaches, and our community has beginner and advanced coaches. The membership is designed to meet you where you are.

If you want to take advantage of everything we offer – the PQ Coaching lessons, Sage Business Development lessons, and live sessions, you should set aside 2-3 hours per week and some extra time for implementation.

One important thing: don’t worry about falling behind. PQ Coach (and PQ Coach Essentials) is fully self-paced. You can work through sessions in any order you choose, and go as quickly or slowly as you like.

Active members have unlimited access to this training. If life gets in the way and you don’t have time for some of the training, that’s no problem — you can pick it back up any time you want.

We have intentionally designed this to be flexible to accommodate everyone’s different schedules and time availability.

Yes, the PQ Coach training program is approved by ICF for Continuing Coaching Education units. The PQ Coaching and Business Development tracks qualify each PQ Coach with up to 80 CCE units:

  • Core Competency: 35.5 hours
  • Resource Development: 44.5 hours

As long as you’re watching the videos in the Learning Hub, completing the worksheets, and participating in our Q&A sessions (live or recorded), you are eligible to receive the full 80 CCE units.

If you are renewing your ICF credentials, you’re required to earn 40 CCE units over a three year period. PQ Coach will deliver this for you in your first six months.

PQ Coaches come from more than 100 countries around the world and represent every niche; from working with kids and teens, to parents, couples, educators, NGOs, teams, spiritual seekers, etc.

The power of the PQ operating system is its universal applicability.

But don’t take it from me. Check out the hundreds of profiles of Certified Positive Intelligence Coaches in our client-matching Marketplace. Maybe go so far as to reach out to a coach in your niche to ask them about their PQ Coach experience so far.

We have coaches from every major coaching school and some schools of counseling and therapy. Some had initial concerns about incompatibility. For example, CTI coaches wondering if there was incompatibility between Process Coaching encouraging the client to stay with “negative” emotions versus us urging them to move on. Or Family System Therapy encouraging the client to welcome and incorporate all parts of oneself, versus our treatment of the Saboteurs.

In every instance, we’ve been able to show that the differences are either a matter of semantics, or a matter of beginner versus advanced application of the PQ techniques. For example, advanced PQ techniques do involve staying with a “negative” emotion under some very specific guidelines and techniques.

To date, not a single PQ Coach has determined an incompatibility forcing them to choose. On the contrary, PQ coaches learn how to use the PQ tools in a way that leverages their previous coach training to produce far greater results.

Of course. When you become a PQ Coach member, you can enroll team members and employees in your Client Dashboard — your first 5 clients are included with your membership.

When you’re ready to expand, PQ Coach Pro is designed to build a thriving ecosystem for professional coaches committed to bringing the PQ Program to clients at scale.

This membership level includes unlimited client access, professional sales live sessions, and dedicated customer support. Details on how to upgrade your membership to PQ Coach Pro will be shared after the dedicated six-week PQ Coach Launchpad experience.

Active PQ Coach members have the right to use Positive Intelligence Intellectual Property (IP). Members are permitted and encouraged to use the IP for the following:

  • Coaching sessions
  • Skill development for self
  • As-is content sharing with clients and prospective clients, including website and app, Pod leader presentation materials, keynote and workshop materials, and client enrollment PDFs.

Once enrolled in PQ Coach membership, you can access resources for brand assets and IP guidelines.

You’ll have access to all of the content in the PQ app through the end of PQ Coaching Grant program, which concludes on Friday, December 5th.

If you’d like to keep going by joining PQ Coach membership, we include ongoing access to the PQ app, with dozens of personal and professional applications and all new Daily Focus for as long as you’re an active member (a $349/year value).

PQ Coach Essentials, our self-paced content-only training is offered year-round. It’s perfect for those with busy schedules looking to integrate PQ principles into their practice at their own pace.

However, we can only offer full PQ Coach membership a few times a year. That’s because full membership is packed with live sessions, access to our vibrant coaching community and PQ Coach Launchpad — your dedicated path to coaching success, facilitated live by Shirzad & our team members. When we close registration, it’s because we’re focussed on providing an incredible experience for our members.

If you know that now is not the right time to join PQ Coach, make sure to join our waitlist, and we will notify you as soon as membership opens again!

Still have a burning question that wasn’t addressed in the video or FAQs above? Please contact us to ask your questions.

We are excited to partner with you and to change the world together.

Bringing PQ to Your Clients

When you join PQ Coach, you are able to guide your clients or prospects through the same flagship PQ Program that we offer at $995 per person on our website.

Your membership includes access to guide 5 clients through the PQ Program. For each client over the first 5, additional client access is available at a discounted rate for an administrative fee.

Use your included access to add your clients into the PQ Program, either as individuals or as part of a Pod.

Your clients have the same full access to the weekly training videos, daily app-guided exercises, and community support as someone who purchases the program directly from our website.

And, as their PQ Coach, you have access to a private Coach Dashboard where you monitor their progress and offer support throughout the program. Communicate with your clients individually, or send messages to their own private Pod channel, encouraging them and coaching them through tougher moments.

When guiding your clients through the PQ Program, you are in the driver’s seat for how to package, position, and charge for what’s next. Once a client completes the PQ Program, you share an operating system that serves as a foundation for your ongoing coaching sessions.

Your work with a client can continue long after they complete the PQ Program, supporting your client in becoming self-actualized by becoming more PQ-powered every day. This is uniquely possible with the PQ operating system and the wide variety of applications.

The first 5 clients included in your PQ Coach membership receive access to the PQ app for one full year. You have the option of enrolling additional clients beyond the first five at either a monthly or annual rate.

Ultimately, you are in control.

With PQ Coach Membership, you have access for your first 5 clients included. After that, you can add more clients for $50/month, up to a total of 25 new clients per membership year. You can switch to the annual option anytime, which caps your cost at no more than $250 per year per client.

This gives each client a full year of PQ App access — an incredible benefit that supports their transformation, even between sessions.

And remember: this is your cost. We’ll help you design your own coaching packages so that your clients cover (and far exceed) this investment. That’s exactly what we support you with in PQ Coach Membership – creating Sage-centered packages that honor your value and impact.

One of the biggest obstacles to getting started as a new coach is providing material to your clients. By providing the PQ Program to your prospects, we take that burden away. You’ll have access to a very powerful tool, great material, and a brand name to support you.

PQ Coach membership includes access to supportive resources and learning tools to help you implement the PQ operating system with your prospects. Additionally, the business development resources provide the essentials for building and scaling your coaching business.

You can practice in many ways with our tools and resources, including by offering Saboteur Discovery Sessions to your friends and family, while also learning the business development lessons that will attract your future clients.

Your membership includes access to guide 5 clients through the PQ Program. For each client over the first 5, additional client access is available for an administrative fee, with the option of annual or monthly subscription. You can have a maximum of 25 new clients enroll in the PQ Program and PQ app per membership year.

PQ Coach Pro is for coaches committed to bringing the PQ Program to clients at scale. This membership level includes expanded client access, live professional sales sessions, PQ for Teams and Organizations, as well as a more robust professional community. Details on how to upgrade your membership to PQ Coach Pro become available after completing the six-week PQ Coach Launchpad experience.

Certification

Becoming a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach requires mastery of PQ knowledge, competencies and experience.

Below are the certification requirements:

  • Completion of certification lessons from the PQ Coaching and Sage Business Development tracks
  • 10 clients who have completed the PQ Program
  • 10 clients you have coached after they have completed the PQ Program
  • Skill assessment submission (audio or video recording)

Certification is completely optional. While there are benefits to becoming certified, you do not need to be certified in order to introduce Positive Intelligence to your clients and prospects.

The option to become a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach is included with your membership. There is no additional cost for this certification at this time.

The PQ Coach training sessions required for certification are all unlocked after your six-week onboarding period.

You can go as quickly or as slowly as you choose, but if you follow along with the training at our suggested pace and complete all other requirements, you will be eligible for certification in a little more than 6 months.

However, there is no time constraint for completion. You can complete it at your own pace.

Yes! If you choose to become a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach, you do not lose this certification should you end your membership. That stays with you.

You will need an active PQ Coach membership in order to guide your clients and prospects through the PQ Program, as well as access other membership benefits like being listed in the Coach Marketplace. But this is independent of your certification status.
