Debbi McCullough and Charlie Jett are certified Positive Intelligence Coaches who discuss the PQ concept and all elements of the PQ System. Together they teach a seven-week course on Positive Intelligence and its application personally and for business teams.

The concept of mental fitness and positive intelligence is the brainchild of Shirzad Chamine and is documented in his book, Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential and How You Can Achieve Yours.

Specifically, the Positive Intelligence (PQ) or Mental Fitness concept is as follows:
• Your left brain:
o Your negative emotions are heightened by an over-active left brain.
o The over-active left brain is ruled by what PQ calls, your “saboteurs”
o Some of these saboteurs were born with you – they are inherent.
o Others were developed as a way to survive as you grew up
o These saboteurs often hijack your thoughts and lead you down the wrong paths
• Your right brain is:
o Where your positive emotions and your “wiser self” reside, or
o In PQ terms, where your “sage” lives.
• The net result is:
o Your wiser self or your right brain is often drowned out by the power of your over-active left brain saboteurs
o The power of the Positive Intelligence system can turn down the volume of your saboteurs and increase the volume of your sage.

Application of the PQ System has beneficial results – and it’s ALL ABOUT RESULTS!
• Teams perform 31% better
• Salespeople sell 37% more
• Creativity increases threefold
• Doctors diagnose 31% better
• People live 10 years longer

Debbie McCullough and Charlie Jett are certified Positive Intelligence Coaches who discuss the “Saboteurs” and other elements of the Positive Intelligence system.

In this episode, Debbi and Charlie discuss something different from saboteurs – “The Sage Perspective.”

Positive Intelligence and the PQ System utilize the “Sage Perspective” turns down the volume of the Saboteurs in the left brain and activates the right brain.

The “Sage” lives in the right brain – and is your “wiser self.”

The Sage Perspective enables you to look for the GIFT in a negative circumstance. Every negative outcome or circumstance can be turned into a gift.

The Sage Perspective offers three gifts:

• Knowledge – What knowledge might I gain so that the payoff in the future could be larger than what his situation is costing me now?
• Power – Which mental muscles can I grow to be able to handle this?
• Inspiration – What inspiring action might I commit to as a result of this situation?

When you are in the Sage Perspective, you can utilize the powers that the Sage gives to you. These powers are:

• Empathy – Visualize the circumstance from the perspective of yourself as a child.
• Explore – Without blame or judgement, look at all the relevant factors that might have contributed to the problem.
• Innovate – Play the “Yes . . . and . . . “ game. Quickly come up with as many ideas as you can without any evaluation or judgement. Evaluation will come later.
• Navigate – Look at the ideas you have generated from the perspective of your wiser and elder self – as if you were near the end of your life.
• Activate – Pick 2 or 3 specific actions that resonate with you and to which you are willing to commit. Think about what your saboteurs might tell you and how your Sage might respond.

Sue Das and Charlie Jett are certified Positive Intelligence Coaches who discuss the “The Stickler” Saboteur.

The Stickler is known for seeking perfection and displays a need for order and organization. But those needs are taken too far. The Stickler takes some great strengths and turns them into disadvantages for self and others. Here are some of the characteristics of someone whose Stickler might be active:

• Punctual, methodical, perfectionist.
• Can be irritable, tense, opinionated, sarcastic.
• Highly critical of self and others.
• Strong need for self-control and self-restraint.
• Works overtime to make up for others’ sloppiness and laziness.
• Is highly sensitive to criticism.

Like the other saboteurs, the STICKLER resides in your LEFT BRAIN and has a loud voice that generally drowns out your wiser self.

Carolyn Smith is a Certified Positive Intelligence coach and a Certified Co-Active Coach based in Toronto.

She and Charlie Jett discuss the “Hyper-Vigilant” saboteur.

The Hyper-Vigilant saboteur shows up as continuous (simmering or intense) anxiety watching for all the dangers and all that could go wrong. Where these can be protective superpowers, in the normal course of life, these become obstacles: at best one might call the Hyper-Vigilant a “worry wart” crying wolf, and at its worst, it prevents healthy trust, good relationship and effective progress.

• Hyper-Vigilants are always or often anxious, with chronic doubts about self and others.
• They have extraordinary sensitivity to danger signals.
• They have a constant expectation of mishap or danger.
• They might be suspicious of what others are up to.
• They believe that people just “mess up.”
• A Hyper-Vigilant might seek reassurance and guidance in procedures, rules, authorities, institutions.

Like the other saboteurs, the HYPER-VIGILANT resides in your LEFT BRAIN and has a loud voice that generally drowns out your wiser self.
