Your mind is constantly sabotaging your potential for both performance and happiness. All your negative emotions, including stress, are the result of self-sabotage. Most attempts at positive change fail because we stop at insight and don’t build habits. Sustained change towards a more positive mind requires laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice. And that’s what the interactive PQ® Program empowers you to do. You build a foundation of mental fitness by strengthening three critical mental muscles to shift the balance of power from your inner Saboteurs (your negative self) to your inner Sage (your positive self). With this foundation, you will boost your professional performance, improve your daily well-being and strengthen relationships across your life.

2 Assessments
1. PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient) Score Assessment - Your PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient, or Positivity Quotient for short) measures the relative strength of your positive versus negative mental muscles. PQ is the measure of your mental fitness. Take our PQ Score assessment to discover how often your mind is serving you versus sabotaging you.
2. PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient) Saboteur Assessment - Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions in the way you handle life’s everyday challenges. They represent automated patterns in your mind for how to think, feel, and respond. They cause all of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness. They sabotage your performance, well-being, and relationships.

Click HereJohn Saunders spent more than two decades as a Wall Street SVP, sales team leader, and award-winning sales executive. During that time, he successfully led several key initiatives including effectively redesigning how to leverage data at scale, and reshaping internal training to change the mindset and culture of the organization to innovate on behalf of clients. This led to his team building the first $1bn ETF franchise in the firm.
He followed his passion for helping others grow and drive impactful change by founding a coaching and consulting company, Forward Advisory Solutions, and wrote a book, The Optimizer: Building and Leading a Team of Serial Innovators.
A recent coaching highlight was guiding a self-proclaimed “introverted” client and author to think differently about what was possible. This led to a week-long safari and book launch event sponsored by the Ugandan Government where Saunders found himself face-to-face with a mountain gorilla.
He holds a BS from the University of Wisconsin and an MBA from Georgetown University. Additionally, Saunders spent years as a member of the Georgetown MBA Alumni Advisory Council, is an active angel investor, and is a formal mentor in the Georgetown MBA program.
As a lifelong learner, Saunders asserts that change is necessary in today’s business world and believes in empowering those with whom he works. In addition to writing, mentoring, and coaching, Saunders enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, and exploring the outdoors.

Click HereAnswers to the questions we get asked the most.
Some people believe that negative emotions are helpful. For example, they think stress gives them their performance edge, or beating themselves or others up is helpful for continual improvement.
Feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove is indeed useful, delivering an important alert. But your Saboteurs keep your hand on the hot stove, continuing to feel negative emotions that harm both performance and happiness.
In this program, we learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert, and then quickly shift to the positive region of the brain that has the calm clarity, objectivity, and creativity to handle the challenge most effectively.
Habit Formation:
Most training results in short-lived improvements. For sustained results, we focus on building neural pathways that form lasting new habits. That’s why we call this “mental fitness.”
Overcomer Your Root Cause of Negativity, not Symptoms:
This factor analysis research has revealed the foundational root-level enablers and disablers of optimal performance and well-being. We rewire the brain at the root cause level.
Develop all 3 Core Mental Muscles:
Mental fitness requires 3 core muscles. Saboteur Interceptor, Self-Command, and Sage. Meditation only focuses on Self-Command, which is why it is not sustained by most.
A willingness to learn, grow and be vulnerable.
