You’ve carried so much for so long—beliefs, fears, and doubts that have shaped your life in ways you never asked for. The voices in your head that criticize, question, and belittle you aren’t yours—they were passed down, absorbed, and internalized over time.
Imagine for a moment if those voices were silenced.
What if the negative thoughts that hold you back and fill you with doubt simply faded away? What would it feel like to step into each day with clarity, confidence, and peace?
If you’re ready to reclaim your power and break free from these invisible chains, the Foundations Program is where your healing begins.
Break Free From Your Inner Critics, For Good
From childhood, we internalize beliefs—some serve us, but many don’t. These harmful, distorted beliefs become your Inner Critics, your Saboteurs, the relentless voices that tell you you’re not enough, that you don’t deserve success, love, or peace. They’ve been with you for so long, you may not even realize how much they’ve stolen from your life. These Saboteurs are ruthless, working in the shadows, controlling how we think, feel, and react. They lead to stress, anxiety, frustration, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, exhaustion, anger, procrastination, perfectionism, and a painful sense of isolation.
But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
In the Foundations Program, you’ll gain the tools to silence these critics once and for all. You’ll dismantle the lies they’ve told you and start rewriting your story—one where you are in control.
Picture yourself:
Waking up excited for the day ahead, free from stress, fear, or doubt.
Facing challenges with calm confidence, knowing you can handle whatever comes your way.
Building stronger, more fulfilling relationships without the misunderstandings and conflicts caused by your Saboteurs.
Living with peace and fulfillment, in control of your life and your happiness.
This transformation is not a distant dream—it’s entirely within reach. And it begins with the Foundations Program.

Make The Commitment To Yourself
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is this the right program for me?
This is the right program for you if you are a) committed to improving your performance and effectiveness dramatically while reducing stress, b) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick, and c) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don’t serve you.
Aren’t negative emotions sometimes helpful?
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 which 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.

Do you offer a payment plan?
Please contact us to enquire about payment plan arrangements.
How much time and effort is required?
You’d be committing to watching a one-hour video once per week, attending the Live Group Support Sessions for up to an hour a week (optional), and doing a combined total of 15 minutes per day of practice guided by the Positive Intelligence app exclusively designed for this program.
This might sound like a lot of time. In fact, cumulatively, it constitutes less than 2% of your awake time for the duration of the program. Please consider that your Saboteurs are costing you far more than 2% of your time, effort, energy, and productivity. Consider how much more than 2% of time and productivity this six-week investment will save for years to come.
How is this different from reading the book?
You’d never learn to ride a bicycle by reading a book about it. You’ll be asked to read the first eight chapters of the book while participating in the program. The book provides the research foundation and introduces the tools. The video session guides you through experiential exercises that help you personalize the tools to your own personality and needs. And the app coaches you to practice one tool at a time in the context of your own daily work and life challenges.
Should we participate as a team?
Even though the focus of the program is individual development, team leaders often call this experience the best team-building experience they have ever had. Going through this program together significantly deepens trust, helps clear the air related to recurrent team member conflicts since they’re mostly generated by Saboteurs, and gives the entire team a common framework for helping each other grow, making decisions, responding to setbacks, and managing conflicting styles and agendas.
What does the Program cost?
The PQ Program is $995USD or $1,397CAD
Do you offer a payment plan?
Please contact us to discuss payment options.
Do you offer corporate or group discounts?
Yes, we offer group discounts on the Foundations Program to any group of 8 or larger. If you would like to purchase the program for your team, your employees, or any group of eight people and above, please contact us for more information.
