Does your team struggle with:
The source of these problems is NOT a lack of training or skills. It is a lack of “Mental Fitness,” the ability to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset. Most training creates short-lived positivity that fizzles soon after the event.
But breakthroughs in neuroscience and behavior management have revealed a proven process for bringing out the best in people consistently and bringing that increased resilience to their teams and their work.
By focusing just 2% of your time each week, you can build the Mental Fitness of your team, create the PQ Powered culture you need, and get the results you want in a way that brings deep fulfillment.
You CAN Create a team culture with:
Your capacity to respond to life's challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset.

Like physical fitness, a list of exercises on its own isn't enough to build strength, and only adds stress.
Surface level tactics like "active listening" don't treat the root issues holding your team back.
Most trainings have a new framework to remember. Our system offers one solution no matter the goal.
Program results
Every leader wants their team to produce better results. We measure a team by the results they create - and the way they get those results. But finding what is really holding them back can be frustrating.
But to produce results, teams need skills.
Teams must be able to function skillfully and effectively in a wide variety of situations. Organizations spend billions trying to train their way out of performance problems.
But training people only once rarely works. To get consistent results, leaders must continuously develop their people, hopefully getting a return on their investment.
Teams only thrive in the right environment. The right team culture inspires individuals to do their best, implement their skills fully, look out for each other and stakeholders, and do their work in a way that fulfills them.
A team is only as strong as its people. For a team culture to be strong, the members of the team must be mentally fit and positive; able to bounce back from difficulties and help others to do the same.

Performance
The team is committed to each member’s continuous growth towards self-actualization, and inspired by positive impact on others.
Team is a safe place for people to be transparent and authentic, admit to mistakes and shortcomings, and feel supported and cared for by one another.
Members are upfront and direct in challenging each other’s ideas and positions as a way of arriving at best solutions.
Team members hold each other accountable for both results and conduct, as opposed to waiting for team leader to do so.
Ultimately, a team is measured by the impact it has and how it approaches situations. Team Impact is increased as they accomplish more in a better way.

Does your team culture bring out everyone’s best?

In these highly engaging sessions, Shirzad guides you through experiential exercises that deepen and personalize your understanding of the mental fitness tools. You leave inspired and energized for the week's daily practices.
Each day a different focus for daily practice is assigned through a personalized companion app available exclusively to program participants. This builds one small muscle at a time, laying down new neural pathways to form lasting positive habits of your mind. The cumulative impact by program's end is substantial.
Innovative 10-second PQ Reps build up your Self-Command muscle. You learn to be clear-headed and calm even in the midst of great challenges, able to command your mind to shift from Saboteur to Sage response.
The app tracks your daily progress against minimum targets associated with new neural pathway (muscle) formation. Personalized daily coaching tips from Shirzad continue to both encourage and challenge you to keep going.
