Choose the Next Step on Your Journey

Your PQ Coaching Grant Program has come to an end. But this may only be the start of something new. We’ve created different paths for you to continue your transformative journey and increase your impact as a coach.

I'm Ready to Choose!

Transform Your Potential

Mental fitness is a lifelong practice; you can choose why and how to keep going today.

I started the PQ Coaching Grant Program because we coaches hold the key to healing and saving our planet. Together we can awaken and unleash the untapped good in the world to affect the outcome. We need to do it with millions of people, so we can reach a tipping point. Scale matters.

That’s why I offered you my coaching grant program as a gift to transform your impact as a coach.

The feedback from previous recipients of my coaching grant has been consistent:

“We love what we’ve learned and we want more. Both on coach skill building and on business development. And we want to bring PQ to our clients.”

We created PQ Coach membership – something transformative to respond to that feedback. This is your opportunity to play a part in bringing mental fitness to more people.

Coaching Re-Invented

Every industry is reinventing itself. Yet coaching has stayed the same for the past twenty years. PQ Coach is coaching re-invented to meet the needs of our time.

With a PQ Coach membership, you can:

  • Transform yourself
  • Transform your coaching effectiveness
  • Transform your business

PQ Coach membership offers a transformative journey towards enhancing your coaching effectiveness, developing your coaching business, and fulfilling your potential.

As a PQ Coach, you will:

  • Supplement your coaching skills with research-based mental fitness training, backed by best-in-class technology
  • Differentiate yourself as a coach who converts insight into lasting new habits through mental muscle-building
  • Have a far greater impact on any client, massively expanding your client base, and be a pioneer in the future of coaching

PQ Coach is designed to solve the biggest problems in coaching, guided by direct feedback from our thousands of worldwide members.

We recently asked our members to share how it’s working for them. Hopefully, their words will inspire you to join them.

“PQ Coach works together; it helps you, helps your clients, helps your business.” -Kris Indahl

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 Q&A 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.

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.

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 emailing my Support team.

Anyone who joins PQ Coach before Tuesday, September 10 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, weekly live sessions are available as we provide onboarding support for your cohort. Foundational learning and content are covered in these live sessions. These sessions are optional to attend, and recordings for the first six weeks are available to watch.

After the first 6 weeks of PQ Coach membership onboarding, you will join our global community of PQ coaches and have access to live PQ Coach Q&A sessions and Application Sessions.

During the first 6 weeks of your PQ Coach membership, weekly live sessions are available as we provide onboarding support for your cohort. Foundational learning and content are covered in these live sessions.

To accommodate the widest range of time zones, live Q&A calls will be held every Tuesday at 8am Pacific Time (11am 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.

After the onboarding period, you will be invited to join live PQ Coach Q&A sessions and Application Sessions held on Wednesdays at 8am Pacific Time (11am Eastern Time). Attendance is optional, but it allows our program members direct access to us should they get stuck in the material or have questions.

The content is truly self-paced. After completing initial onboarding lessons, 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. After the onboarding lessons, 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.

Absolutely not. We have powerful and inspiring sharing in our community every week from coaches representing every niche; ranging 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.

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.

Yes – We have a dedicated team that works to bring PQ to Teams & Organizations. Reach out to our team to discuss, as the needs of organizations are different from those of your 1:1 clients.

Contact us at sales@positiveintelligence.com and note that you are a new PQ Coach.

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 will have access to the content you just experienced for a limited period of time.

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 5 licenses to guide clients through the PQ Program. For each client over the first 5, additional licenses are available at a discounted rate for an administrative fee.

Use your licenses to add your clients and prospects into the PQ Program, either as individuals or 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.

Ultimately, you are in control.

Many of our coaches like to have multiple clients enrolled in the PQ Program beyond the 5 clients included with their PQ Coach membership.

For each client over the first 5, additional licenses are available at a discounted rate for an administrative fee. You can have a maximum of 25 new clients enroll in the PQ Program and PQ app per membership year.

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.

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

Your membership includes 5 licenses to guide clients through the PQ Program. For each client over the first 5, additional licenses are available at a discounted rate for an administrative fee. You can have a maximum of 25 new clients enroll in the PQ Program and PQ app per membership year.

If you are looking to bring PQ to a team or organization, we have a dedicated team that works to bring PQ to Teams & Organizations. Reach out to discuss your opportunity, as the needs of organizations are different from those of your 1:1 clients.

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.

Becoming a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach provides members with the following benefits:

  • Featured profile in the Coach Marketplace.
    Be discovered and introduced to past and current PQ Program members (individual and corporate) who are looking for more personalized coaching on their journey to improve mental fitness.
  • Resume-Worthy Certified PQ Coach Badge
    Grow your career or business by adding the Certified Positive Intelligence Coach badge, the emerging gold standard in coaching, to your LinkedIn profile. You’ll be differentiated as a technology-enabled coach, converting coaching insights into lasting new mental habits.

Becoming a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach is included with your membership as an option to help you grow your business. There is no additional cost for this certification.

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.
