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

What is the Mental Fitness (PQ) Program?
Whether you’re struggling with stress, burnout, frustration, negative thoughts, or unproductive habits, Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence (PQ®) Mental Fitness Program is an evidence-based approach to intercept your internal saboteurs (the voices in your head that fuel self-doubt and negative emotions) and build your inner sage muscle (the key to a positive mindset).
By doing this, you can truly shift your mindset, perform at your best, and respond to life’s challenges with positivity and ease.
Meet the two regions in your brain
Recent Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) research can pinpoint two different regions in your brain that are activated with different thoughts and feelings – your survive region (inner saboteurs) and your thrive region (inner sage).
Your inner saboteurs
Our saboteurs are the voices in our head that fuel stress, anxiety, self-doubt, regret, frustration and unhappiness – and these emotions can negatively impact our performance and wellbeing. There are ten saboteurs, such as the judge, the controller and the pleaser, with each individual displaying them differently.
Your inner sage
Our inner sage handles life’s challenges with positive emotions – including curiosity, empathy, creativity, calmness and laser focused action. With continued PQ® practice, we lay down new neural pathways to activate our inner sage and form new habits.
This is not another course you’ll take and forget. Mental Fitness creates sustained change by laying down neutral pathways.
Through PQ® development, you can:
Build stronger relationships, in work and in life
Improve wellbeing and happiness
Boost performance – both individually and as a team
Promote greater calmness, clarity and attention
Increase resilience, and respond to challenges positively
Powering Healthcare Teams
I combine the world-renowned PQ® program with my experience in the healthcare industry and with corporate teams to truly transform your workplace and life (in 20 years, I’ve seen a whole lot).
Since I began, my clients have reported fantastic results in working relationships, overcoming defensiveness, navigating difficult feedback and conversations, building trust and vulnerability, enhancing motivation and happiness, and improving focus and productivity.
How it works
The PQ® Program is a 6-week program (2.5 hours per week) for leaders, individuals and teams. Throughout the program, you’ll engage in weekly videos, daily exercises, individual or small group coaching, and community support to create real, lasting change.
An introductory session to discover your saboteurs
Daily practice (around 15 minutes per day) of app-guided exercises to help build mental muscles (neural pathways).
Weekly focus videos created by Shirzad Chamine, taking a deep dive into the principles for each week, leaving you feeling ready and energised.
WhatsApp buddy or group to share your experience and learnings.
Weekly coaching sessions with me, Mary Rankin, to discuss the weekly focus, share experiences and establish lasting new positive habits. Coaching sessions can be done individually or in small groups.
App access for a year so you can continue to establish lasting new habits, long after the 6-week program.
