Mental Fitness Workshops
Powered by Positive Intelligence®

 

PQ Mental Fitness Workshops are powered by the Positive Intelligence® framework — neuroscience-backed practices that intercept the mental patterns holding you back.

 

Come to one. 

Leave with something real.

Mental Fitness Workshops

 

Identity. Clarity. Permission to Move.

What if the biggest barrier to your next level isn’t strategy — it’s the voice in your head?

The Positive Intelligence® framework, developed by Shirzad Chamine and grounded in neuroscience, identifies the mental patterns — your Saboteurs — that undermine your performance, relationships, and wellbeing. And it builds the Sage responses that help you lead, decide, and live with clarity instead of reactivity.

Each Phoenix PQ Workshop is a 60-minute live session on one specific topic from the PQ framework. You leave with one practice you can use the same day.

These are not self-help sessions. They are science-backed, coach-led, and designed for professionals who are serious about understanding how their mind actually works.

As a certified Positive Intelligence® Coach, Veta P. Hurst, ICF-ACC, brings something most PQ workshops don’t have: 25 years of federal executive leadership, a law degree, and the lived experience of rebuilding clarity after a major professional transition. She doesn’t just teach the framework. She has lived her way through it.

Phoenix Mental Fitness Bundle  

 

The live coaching experience + the daily practice app. Together.

  • What makes this different from buying the PQ Program app on your own:

  • You don’t just receive a link. You receive a certified PQ Coach.

  • Veta P. Hurst, Esq., ICF-ACC has spent 25 years inside the systems that produce the stress, the leadership demands, and the career inflection points the PQ framework is designed to address. She has coached federal executives, attorneys, and high-achieving professionals through the exact transitions where Saboteur patterns are loudest. She has lived the PQ work herself.

  • What’s included:

  • Live 60-minute PQ Workshop — choose any topic from the 20 available · 60 minutes, live, with Veta as your certified PQ Coach and facilitator. You arrive with context. You leave with a practice.

  • Facilitated enrollment into the 7-week Positive Intelligence® Program — Veta manages your enrollment directly into the PQ platform as your certified coach. You don’t navigate the app alone. You begin with a live orientation and a coach who understands where you are.

  • Full app access for one year — 7 weeks of daily neuroscience-backed exercises, weekly video modules, progress tracking, and after week 7, advanced application modules on stress, conflict, leadership, resilience, productivity, and more.

  • The continuity between the workshop and the app — the live session gives you context for the framework. The app gives you the daily practice. Together, they create something neither can do alone: a mental fitness foundation that is both intellectually grounded and behaviorally embedded.

  • Note: Ongoing coaching support (dashboard monitoring, session check-ins, and integration with the Phoenix coaching framework) is available separately through the PQ Coaching Programs.

PQ Workshop topic cards

Positive Intelligence Foundations

New to PQ? This is your entry point. This introductory session explains the neuroscience behind mental fitness, walks you through your personal Saboteur profile (take the free Saboteur Assessment at positiveintelligence.com before attending), and introduces the foundational Sage practices that every other PQ workshop builds on. If you’re unsure which topic to start with, start here.

Best for: Individuals new to PQ · teams beginning mental fitness work 

Emotional Intelligence

EQ is not a personality trait. It’s a trainable skill. This session uses the PQ framework to help you identify your emotional triggers, understand the patterns underneath them, and build the capacity to respond rather than react.

Best for: Individuals · leaders · HR professionals

Resilience

Resilience isn’t about bouncing back. It’s about bouncing forward — with more clarity and less collateral damage than last time. This session builds the mental fitness infrastructure that makes recovery faster and setbacks less costly.

 

Best for: Leaders · career transitioners · high-achievers

Leader as Coach

Coaching is not a title. It’s a way of leading. This workshop teaches leaders to use coaching conversations to unlock the people around them — asking better questions, creating ownership, and building a team that doesn’t need you for every decision.


Best for: People managers · team leads · HR business partners

Growth Mindset & Wellness    

A growth mindset is not optimism. It’s a trained capacity to see challenge as data rather than threat. This workshop integrates the PQ framework with wellness practices to build the internal architecture that supports both performance and recovery.

Best for: Individuals · wellness-focused professionals

Change Management    

Change fails not because the strategy is wrong but because the Saboteurs show up first. This session gives leaders and teams the PQ tools to move through change with less resistance and more psychological safety.

Best for: Leaders · change agents · HR and OD professionals

Intuition & Decision-Making    

Your gut is data. But your Saboteurs hijack it. This session teaches you to distinguish between Sage wisdom and Saboteur-driven impulse — so your decisions are grounded in clarity rather than fear, urgency, or ego.

Best for: Leaders · entrepreneurs · professionals at decision crossroads

Happiness

Happiness is not a destination. It’s a practiced orientation toward what is. This workshop uses the PQ framework to identify the Saboteurs that make contentment impossible and build the Sage practices that create sustainable wellbeing — not in spite of difficulty, but within it.

Best for: Individuals seeking meaning and sustainability

Sleep

Poor sleep is often a Saboteur symptom, not a schedule problem. This workshop identifies the mental patterns driving nighttime activation and introduces PQ-based wind-down practices that allow your nervous system to actually rest.

 

Best for: High performers · stressed professionals

Self-Actualization  

You were not built to stay stuck. This workshop uses the PQ framework to identify the Saboteur patterns that have been keeping you safely small — and activate the Sage capacities that allow you to become who you actually are.

Best for: Individuals in identity transition · coaches · anyone at a turning point

Conflict Management    

Most conflict is an inside job. This workshop helps you recognize the Saboteur patterns that escalate tension — in yourself and others — and respond from clarity instead of reactivity. You’ll leave with one practice that changes how you show up in your hardest conversations.

Best for: Individuals · teams · leaders

Stress Management    

You’re not stressed because you’re weak. You’re stressed because your Saboteurs have been running the show. This session maps your personal stress signature to specific PQ patterns and gives you a 10-second practice that interrupts the cycle before it escalates.

Best for: Anyone carrying more than they should

Leadership

The best leaders don’t just manage people — they manage the story they tell themselves about those people. This session applies the PQ framework to leadership presence, trust-building, and the internal patterns that either expand or limit your influence.
 

Best for: Managers · directors · executives

Productivity

Productivity failures are rarely about time management. They’re about mental energy management. This session identifies the Saboteur patterns that masquerade as procrastination, perfectionism, and overwork — and replaces them with Sage-based focus that actually sustains.

Best for: Professionals · entrepreneurs · high-output teams

Persuasion

Influence is not manipulation. It’s the ability to communicate from your Sage — clearly, credibly, and with the other person’s interest genuinely in view. This session builds the mental fitness that makes you more persuasive in any room, conversation, or negotiation.


Best for: Leaders · attorneys · sales professionals · coaches

Sage Mindset for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion    

DEI work fails when it stays external. True inclusion starts with the internal work of recognizing how your own Saboteurs distort your perception of others. This workshop creates the psychological foundation that makes DEI more than a compliance checkbox.

Best for: Leaders · DEI practitioners · organizational teams

Relationship Mastery    

Every relationship problem has at least one Saboteur in it. This session teaches you to identify the patterns you bring to your relationships, shift out of them in real time, and build connections that are honest, resilient, and mutual.

Best for: Individuals · team dynamics

Health & Wellness  

Your physical health is inseparable from your mental fitness. This session explores the direct link between Saboteur activation and the physical symptoms of chronic stress — and introduces PQ practices that give your nervous system room to recover.

Best for: Health-conscious professionals · wellness practitioners

Parenting

Parenting is the place your Saboteurs run fastest. This workshop helps parents recognize the patterns they’re modeling for their children — and build the Sage capacity that makes them the steady, clear-eyed presence their kids actually need.

Best for: Parents · family-focused professionals

Energy Impact Optimization

Your energy is not just physical. It’s relational, mental, and intentional. This workshop maps how your Saboteurs drain the energy of the people around you — and how your Sage can become a source of positive contagion in any room.

Best for: Leaders · public speakers · coaches · high-visibility professionals
