Experience the shift to greater positivity
The Positive Intelligence (PQ) program for Mental Fitness allows you to become more conscious of how you have been living in negative programming. In this program, Mental fitness contrasts the activation of your positive (Sage) and negative (Saboteur) frameworks.
The program is based on Shirzad Chamine’s book Positive Intelligence and his experience as CEO of the Coach Training Institute. It derives its power from going beyond treating symptoms to beginning to tackle root causes.
Physical fitness results from selecting eating and exercise patterns to support our aliveness. To do this well, we notice how our food and exercise contribute to our physical energy and selectively choose the life-giving ones. Similarly, our well-being or Mental Fitness is about paying attention to what we think and feel. Consistent practices here require noticing our negative thoughts and feelings and creating space to move them to more positive ones.
Your path to Mental Fitness begins with an assessment that identifies your Saboteurs. These are negative frameworks that hold you back from reaching your full potential. You can check this out for free here.
This assessment tool provides stunning insight into your primary negative response patterns and how they are characterized. However, completing the program allows you to go beyond insight by adopting practices that shift the negative Saboteur frameworks to positive Sage ones.
I am a certified Life Coach and a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach which means I can facilitate your mental fitness journey with the Positive Intelligence Program. You can learn more about my life philosophy, credentials, and background here.
Additional Benefits
When you coach with me, rather than another certified positive intelligence coach you get the additional benefit of using EFT Tapping to tackle your negative (Saboteur) programming. This is not part of the 6-week program. This technique allows you to rapidly reprogram your neural networks going beyond the shift that occurs by repetition as included in the 6-week program. You can proactively separate the story from the emotion such that over time you can completely replace the negative (Saboteur) frameworks with more positive (Sage) ways.

After taking the Positive Intelligence self-saboteur assessment, the program is individually tailored to address your top Saboteurs.
- Access to the PQ app. This is where you chart your progress and receive content in the form of video and audio, as well as journalling through inquiry questions. It allows for learning and experiencing the distinction between Saboteur and Sage to support your embodiment and integration.
- Weekly video content. Shirzad shares how to recognize and weaken each Saboteur and replace your conditioned responses with those from love (i.e. your Sage or wise self.
- Daily practice. The daily focus increases mental fitness by literarily rewiring your brain (strengthening your Sage and Self-command neural pathways).
Have you ever said ‘Yes’ when you wanted to say ‘No’?
Are you overextended because you want to be involved in absolutely everything?
Do you feel like you are the only one keeping everyone safe?
Does everything have to be perfect?
Do you find yourself continually chasing more credentials?
Is your balance upset for long periods when things go wrong?
Have you ever thought that all emotion is a waste of time?
Do you strive to avoid negative experiences at all costs?
Are you driven to do all you can to make situations predictable?
If you can relate to any of these, that is your negative Saboteur framework taking charge.
Do you suffer from anger, guilt, shame, and fear? Perhaps you believe that negative emotions actually benefit you by keeping you on track?
Negative emotions may motivate some success. However, they do not generate happiness or the level of performance possible when you are expanded rather than contracted. One way to think about negative emotions is by comparing them to the experience of physical pain. If you hurt yourself physically you do your best to remove and heal your wound. The pain alerts you to something that needs immediate attention. What do you do though if you hurt yourself mentally?
You can use negative emotions to alert you to do something differently that allows you to switch from the negative state. Imagine experiencing less anger, guilt, shame, and fear. These stressors get in the way of happiness and sabotage your possibilities. They prompt you to do things like seeking perfection, looking for problems everywhere or saying Yes when you don’t want to.
I do this work because I want each one of us to be more joyful and consciously empowered. I believe that this healing will be reflected in the nurture of our planet and our relationships with each other.
Is the PQ Program right for you?
Firstly, thank you so much for reading this. I am grateful for your time and interest. And, I appreciate you for wanting to ‘BE’ the difference this world needs by working on yourself.
This program is perfect if you want more peace of mind, happiness, and success. Who doesn’t want that 😊. It is also perfect if you have dreams that you are unable to move forward with. Most of all it is a great fit for those who are ready to step into their courage, face their greatest fears, and be the hero/heroine on their journey.
Only you can know if you resonate with me and feel called to do it. I trust in your choice.
PQ program content in detail:
Week One – Boost Self-Command
Self-command is your ability to switch from negative Saboteur frameworks to positive Sage ones. The two keys to this are 1) catch your Saboteur in the act and 2) shift to being more conscious and present. Sage steps that access the Sage powers allow for this shift. Forms of these Sage steps are short exercises that create space allowing you to be more objective and access your inner wisdom. Experience of the Sage practices is part of this week’s content but is also always available in the PQ gym. Instead of your thoughts spinning on autopilot these Sage steps allow you to take the wheel and chart your direction. When stressors throw you off, Sage steps rapidly bring you to calm clear-headedness.
Week Two – Intercept the Judge
This is the voice in your head that evaluates everything against the frameworks that you have in place. To the Judge, everything is relative, allowing comparison against yourself, others, and your circumstances. When activated your judge wants to rank everything against your good and bad ideals. It uses the programs associated with your most prevalent or accomplice Saboteurs to make these judgments.
Week Three – Accomplice Saboteurs
There are nine Saboteurs (in addition to Judge). These Saboteurs arise from responses learned in childhood to manage the environment you experience at that time. They provided ways for you to feel safe. They are often unconscious but influence how you think, feel, and behave. Each one has a distinct motivation.
Controller: driven to take charge and control situations and people’s actions to one’s own will.
Stickler: excessive requirement for order, perfection, and organization.
Avoider: ignores any negative while highlighting the positive in an extreme way.
Hyper-Achiever: overidentifies with external success, and achievement for self-respect and self-validation.
Pleaser: gains acceptance and affection by helping, pleasing, rescuing, or flattering others.
Victim: uses personal pain through emotional and temperamental behavior as a way to gain attention and affection.
Restless: constantly seeking greater excitement and distracted by the possibility of a better experience.
Hyper-Vigilant: perpetually anxious about the dangers and what could go wrong.
Hyper-Rational: applies rational processing to everything, including relationships.
Week Four – Shift to Sage, The Empathize Power
The Sage perspective is that every outcome or circumstance can be turned into a gift and opportunity. Adopting this perspective allows you to experience your unique true joyful self. The way that you are in when you are in a place of positive flow, grace, creativity, and clear focus.
The Stallion Story reinforces that we cannot know what is bad or good or what the blessing can be even in the most challenging circumstances.
By using PQ reps to shift into looking for the gift you can apply the Sage powers. The five Sage powers are Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate. Each one has merit depending on the needs of the situation. Your ability to identify the gift and the power to adopt is amplified by implementing the Three Gifts Technique of Knowledge, Power, and Inspiration.
Week Five – Boost Sage Powers Explore and Innovate
This week is about remembering the Sage that you are. This is beautifully illustrated by the story of the Burmese army invading Thailand and looting and ransacking.
The Sage power of Empathy, towards yourself, in particular, is often the weakest power. Use the visualize the child technique to connect with your essence. Children are more present and in flow with the moment so you can reconnect with the beauty and joy of existing in this form of expression. This is a powerful way to move into deep love and appreciation for your core being. It is an opportunity to move out of Judge and release Saboteurs. Most Saboteurs began as a way to keep you safe and manage your fears as a child when you had limited capacity to deal with what might have been presented.
Week Six – Activate Power
The Innovate power is about improving an initial idea. Do this by listening with an open mind and looking for the positive in what you hear. Respond with “What I like about that idea is …” And continue with adding another idea that is derived from what you liked about the original idea.
The Activate power is about taking action with a clear mind and a laser focus. Do this by Pre-empting the Saboteur. Here you look for all the negative frameworks that could provide obstacles and identify how you could re-frame them. I.e. visualize shifting from Saboteur to Sage.
The physicality of the Sage is the idea that you can prime your Sage response by deliberately adopting certain body positions. For example, lean forward with curiosity to engage the Explore power or sit up straight and feel your spine to engage the Activate power.
These activities also demonstrate what it is like to feel and fully experience each of these Sage powers.
Additional Benefits
You can access the same content here with me as your facilitator and take shifting from Saboteur to Sage to the next level with EFT tapping. In addition, if you take it with me, I provide an accompanying Saboteur to Sage workbook. This is your one-stop place for details on each Saboteur. It also includes details on the Sage powers and more insights into how to create the shift to Sage.
This PQ Program retails at $995.00
What People Say About Their Experience
I am grateful and really enjoyed my 6 weeks of the Positive Intelligence group practice because is the best way to exercise my brain and discover the great power of our minds.
My tendency to be a controller and very judging person was taking me to a place where being disappointed was very common and lack of compassion for me was leading me to unnecessary stress levels. Now that I know about mental fitness, how to exercise my brain and, build up a strong mind, I know more about my real potential and go to a happy place where healthy relationships are built based on trust, compassion and, understanding that each person is unique and special.
I am an avid runner looking for a finish line, in constant training. Liz’s coaching inspired me to also train and build up a strong mind to achieve life goals. Making better choices and be more equipped to respond to life challenges with a positive rather than negative mindset.
I think that the time and resources invested in yourself will always benefit you and everyone around. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover a beautiful and scientific way to discover how special are you and what to do to achieve your goals and be the best version of yourself!!
I totally recommend the inspiring coaching and the Positive Intelligence practice as a way to learn techniques to be able to empathize with myself, being a compassionate and loving person with a strong mind capable of seeing the good in others before judging. I am convinced that a better life starts with our mindset. The Positive Intelligence book and app are great tools!
Thank you Liz!!
Truly thank you for the opportunity and the great help. I am so much more aware of how I am. It is an ongoing process but I feel more equipped to recognize and fight my inner “critiq” that’s my judges’ name.
I have completed the Positive Intelligence Course…
What an amazing experience…
Liz is an Extraordinary coach.
It has been a privilege to have engaged in coaching sessions with her and I admire your commitment.
I came to this course to make my life happier. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses. This course has assisted me in assessing and recognizing them.
Choosing to be happier has become easier for me after knowing my saboteur and sage. I feel I have grown as a person. This course has taught me how to use my positive energy to overcome any stress through PQ Reps and some effective relaxation techniques. This course gave me an overall positive perspective on life.
I feel that over the duration of the course, I acquired a lot of knowledge and practical strategies that will be beneficial to me.
I enjoyed being in touch with Liz through our zoom meetings. This was an exhilarating experience. Liz displayed a genuine interest in my well-being by putting a lot of effort into thoroughly explaining concepts.
Thank you for your support and guidance. You were warm, a great listener, and a great mentor. This course has made an impact on my life, I am still trying to improve myself day by day. I highly recommend the happiness program to anyone, whatever age or stage in life.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Elizabeth Saigal for inviting me to be part of a Pod of beautiful souls who supported each other on their journeys through the truly amazingly transformational 6-week course on Positive Intelligence.
I have to admit I have taken quite a few courses on Personal Development, Coaching, and different therapies to become the best Coach I can for my clients. This course is THE course that stands out by far as being the most effective for lasting change.
I was able to see exactly for myself how I was self-sabotaging my life. Not just how, but when and why!!! I was able to look back on situations when I had self-sabotaged my life and review exactly how I could have chosen to experience it differently. Then I was able to plan exactly when I expected to self-sabotage in advance and intercept this with a really empowering alternative.
Positive Intelligence in particular empowered me to make changes in the way I related to others. That included work relationships, friendships, relationships with family, and certainly with my clients. Learning how to be this self-aware really does allow me to understand and accept my fellow human beings with empathy and a deeper understanding as well as myself! Also, in a corporate environment viewing conflict as an opportunity creates a healthier and more productive environment and that equals increased productivity.
Positive Intelligence really excels at providing tools that allowed me to really change my emotional state, and quickly. Unhelpful emotions such as stress and overwhelm can really impact the lives of so many. I found that the tools provided really took me from an unhelpful emotion into a place of calm and peace thus allowing me that laser-sharp focus!
A huge benefit of Positive Intelligence that I love is that the tools are now mine to keep and I can access them forever.
In addition, instead of just insight that many courses provide Positive Intelligence is a course that the more you use the tools the more you actually change your brain.
I felt really inspired by being able to measure my progress also and knowing that I was making lasting change created motivation.
I do now feel I have the power to have my brain act as my friend instead of an enemy.
To be honest, I cannot recommend this course enough not just for particular issues but actually as a way of life and a way of achieving your true potential.
PQ Program Benefits and Outcomes
With completion of this program, you will have gained:
- expertise with Sage steps and the different modalities you can use.
- greater ability to stop negative frameworks from being activated and reduce the length of activation including reframing or finding the gift in these experiences.
- mastery at recognizing your Judge and identifying and weakening the accomplice Saboteurs that partner with your Judge. In some cases, this may include becoming aware of them for the first time.
- experience with the five Sage powers Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate.
- awareness of the physicality of your Sage powers in contrast to being in Saboteur mode.
- practise with the five Sage power games of Visualize the Child, Fascinated Anthropologist, Yes … And, Flash Forward, and Preempt the Saboteur.
Most importantly you will be happier, less stressed, and more productive. Overall, all these things contribute to a better quality of life. These statements are supported by research.
There is a six-week program that will propel you to a new state of being,
one where you are consistently more
positive
calm, &
self-assured.
What is preventing you from diving in?
Perhaps time or money. Perhaps doubt in its value. Perhaps doubt in how you will be able to engage.
I don’t have time to do this now. Will there be an opportunity in the future?
If your current circumstances prevent taking part, make it a future goal. Your Mental Fitness is fundamental to your ability to manage your time and energy. This program supports your engagement across all areas of life bringing greater happiness and well-being. Weakening your negative framework (Saboteurs) and strengthening your positivity (Sage) will support you in coping with stressors. So check in with your inner self as to whether this is a priority on which you want to take action.
Success requires commitment and engagement in every part of the program. If this calls to you and it is not possible to fully participate right now, there will be a possibility to enroll later.
I don’t have the money for this level of investment.
This is more about the impact you believe it will have and how important this type of personal growth is to you. It is also about your set points for how much you are willing to invest in yourself. As this price includes multiple high-impact programs that operate at the level of mind emotion, energy, and action, you are unlikely to find a better deal. Consider what you will gain by being more positive and lose by maintaining your current negative frameworks. If you want to do it and are blocked by money contact me so that we can co-create a plan for making it happen. Future pricing and delivery may change.
The program will not add much that I can’t do by myself or find out elsewhere for free.
In this case, I would have to answer a resounding NO. The synthesis that has gone into the work would take you many years. The combination of the app support system format and delivery, pod accountability, and video content are unique and extremely high quality. Many people who have decades of mindfulness practice say that the distributed practice that is a core feature of this program catapulted their experience to the next level.
This program seems to be touchy-feely or woo-woo and inadequate for real-world challenges.
Operating from Sage empowers you by providing a range of responses that allow you to handle the most demanding environments with simplicity. The five Sage powers (Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate) have different levels of masculine and feminine energy. In today’s challenging environment, all are needed depending on the circumstances. Using Sage steps allows you to disengage from your automated fear-based Saboteur programming. Instead of coming from judgment, you can be discerning and lead yourself and others with flexibility. Accessing this wisdom “in the moment” also allows others to do the same.
This program draws from the core principles of positive psychology, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and performance science. Research on program effectiveness includes 100’s of CEOs and their executive teams, Stanford students, world-class athletes, and 500,000 students from 50 countries.
Can this short program shift Negative (Saboteurs) to Positive (Sage)?
Yes, but the speed and strength of your shift depend on your level of engagement with sage steps. And, these skills are crucial to progressing with everything you ask for in life.
Do I have the skills to get the mental fitness results?
The Sage steps are guided so no prior knowledge is needed. The app compares your engagement with Sage steps with the researched amount needed to experience breakthroughs so you are supported and guided to the optimum level of engagement. Have fun and show up for short daily bursts to shift your mental fitness.
Additional Benefits
With me as your facilitator, you get coaching on how to apply EFT Tapping to collapse the Saboteurs and a workbook summarizing the core ideas. We will have weekly check-ins where you get to share your experience and ask any questions about the materials.
