Introducing the Positive Intelligence Program
If I told you that you could reduce anxiety and stress, improve your work-related performance and relationships, and experience happiness and
greater peace in your life with 2-minute exercise, 3 times a day
WOULD YOU?
This was the invitation I received back in June from world-renowned coach and best-selling author Shirzad Chamine.
It sounded like a no-brainer.
Shirzad’s Positive Intelligence (PQ) model identifies 10 saboteurs and 5 sage powers in our psyche that determines our “mental fitness”, or our ability to manage stressful situations.


Have you ever?
➡️ Procrastinated?
➡️ Been paralyed with fear?
➡️ Judged yourself or others?
➡️ Tried to control people or situations?
➡️ Avoided a converstaion that needed to happen?
➡️ Or said “YES” when you wanted to say “NO
Then you NEED this program!

Those are self-sabotaging parts of your mind at work.
We all have them.
They trigger negative emotions in our brain; flight, fight, or flee.
AND ALL THAT STRESS MAKES US ANXIOUS, EXHAUSTED, AND OVERWHELMED.
When we experience positive emotions like love, joy, empathy, and compassion, we are in our sage brain ~ our true self. And the great news is that we can learn to build up those sage powers to override the saboteurs that are at work.
I was fascinated with this idea, so I enrolled in Shirzad’s 6-week Positive Intelligence course for coaches.
And here’s what happened:
In less than two months my “PQ” score – a numerical gauge of my mental fitness –
went from 71 to 85 (on a scale of 0-100).
my happiness (JOY) and resilience INCREASED.
And guess what?

This happened in the middle of a global pandemic.
Shirzad’s Positive Intelligence course supplied me with added tools in the midst of coronavirus. The world was in chaos. People’s lives were being turned upside-down. And in the midst of all this, those of us in his course had committed to a daily practice of “PQ reps” (mini mindfulness exercises in the Positive Intelligence app) and weekly lessons to help weaken our saboteurs and strengthen our sages.
I can’t think of a better time to be immersed in this work. I learned how to identify my self-sabotaging behaviors and strengthen my ability to turn adverse situations into a gift and opportunity.
It isn’t just some “look on the bright side” cliché.
It’s an evidence-based model rooted in neuroscience and brain development.
Hi, I’m Lavonda!
I’m a PQ Coach and founder of JOYFUL JOURNEY.
If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know how profoundly I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety. I’ve been in therapy, 12-step programs, read numerous self-books, and most important, The Bible. All of those things have given me tools to help manage my emotions and I finally discovered FREEDOM!
But this PQ thing and the operating system behind it made an impact in my life.
Because this Positive Intelligence training gives me:
✔️ Short, easy exercises to tune deeply into the present moment (like 2 minutes or less – no hour-long meditations)
✔️ Awareness of my thoughts and where they are coming from
✔️ Tools to activate my inner wisdom and override negative emotions
✔️ Reminders (through the app) to practice these tools throughout the day

I, along, with hundreds of other coaches in the PQ Program, experienced remarkable shifts in our thoughts, moods, and stress levels over the course of the six weeks (even in the midst of the global pandemic and traveling to the United States from Germany to enroll our twins in college)
At the end of the course, I was offered the opportunity to become a PQ Pioneer coach. I hesitated over the investment, but I decided to go for it.

Here’s why:
Shirzad has a vision of bringing this PQ operating system to as many people as possible around the world.
The idea is that the more we can lessen our fear (from our saboteur thoughts) and focus on love and compassion (our sage powers), the more likely we will be to support leaders who lead from love instead of fear, and we can dig ourselves out of the current political mess we are in.
And it all starts with doing this work on ourselves, which has ripple effects on our families, our communities, our nations, and our world.
I bought into the vision, quite literally (with my credit card), for the privilege of being one of the pioneering coaches to bring this work to a larger audience.
SHIRZAD’S 6-WEEK PQ COURSE IS NORMALLY OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC FOR $1,000.
But at the time when we need this work the most, many people are not in a position to make that kind of purchase a priority.
My investment as a PQ coach allows me to bring this program to my coaching clients and my community at a fraction of the cost.
So I am offering the FULL 6-week Positive intelligence course with access to the PQ app PLUS the support of a private Facebook community (a $1,500 value) for just $497.
Say what?!!
Here’s what you get:
- Seven 1-hour video lessons taught by Shirzad Chamine, the founder of Positive Intelligence ($995 value)
- Two months of access to the PQ App ($75 value)
- A private Facebook group to stay connected and enhance your learning ($495 value)
- Placement in an accountability pod of 3-5 participants (priceless)
Total value: $1,565+
You pay: $497 for EVERYTHING!
Why? Because I want this work to reach AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE at a time when we need it most.

The Positive Intelligence program has allowed me to be more productive and more clear-headed. I improved my ability to focus and increased my self-confidence. I also gained a better understanding of myself better and learning how to respond better to stress. The tools to overcome negative self-talk was invaluable.

Ernest & YoungAnswers to your questions…
“Why should I do this?”
If you are human, chances are you can identify with at least one of the following behaviors:

- Procrastination
- People-pleasing
- Controlling people and situations
- Multi-tasking
- Overworking
- Perfectionism
- Overthinking
- Anxiety
- Feeling like a victim
- Judging yourself harshly
And maybe you think “It’s just the way I am” and you resign yourself to the stress, overwhelm, worry, and other negative emotions that result.
Trust me, it doesn’t have to be that way. If I can re-wire my brain, I’m pretty sure anyone can! 🤪
This course will help you download a simple operating system into your brain that will improve the way you handle stress, relationships, health and fitness, the global pandemic, you name it – there are infinite applications.
“I’m so busy; what’s the time commitment?
Have you ever heard the Zen proverb, “You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes every day – unless you’re too busy; then you should sit for an hour”?
Trust me, ESPECIALLY if you are busy and overwhelmed and exhausted right now, THIS IS THE THING YOU NEED TO MAKE TIME FOR. NOW.
By signing up, you commit to watching a 1-hour video lesson sometime between Friday and Monday, meeting with your pod for 30 minutes once a week, and practicing PQ reps in the app for 15 minutes a day at least 4 days a week. So if you do everything, that’s 2.5 hours a week. And you don’t have to do it perfectly.
What you will find is that in the long run, this modest time investment will SAVE you so much time and energy that you otherwise would have spent worrying, procrastinating, avoiding, overthinking, etc.
It’s totally worth it.
“I know you coach women. Is this open to men too?”
YES. I’ve decided to make this program available to all humans, because I think it’s so important. So please feel free to share it with your partner or your brother or your buddy down the street or your uncle in Chicago!
“When do I have to decide by?”
I am offering this NOW because I know that people need it NOW, so I’m only opening enrollment for a very short time!
“But even $497 feels like a lot right now.”
The Positive Intelligence Program has been a benefit to both my personal and professional life. I have been able to identify areas of weakness in my reaction to and handling of challenges. I learned mechanisms to override & overcome in other areas to handle stress. I appreciated learning how to use a method known as “yes and” to prevent conflict and encourage creativity.

I get it. Please don’t do this right now if you’re struggling to put food on the table.
But if you can make it happen, look at it this way: what would it be worth to you in order to NOT be stuck in negative thoughts and emotions for the rest of your life? Probably costing you a whole lot more than $497!!
“I still don’t know… blah blah blah time, blah blah blah money, do I really need this…?”
Guess what? Those are the voices of your SABOTEURS that want to keep you in the status quo at all costs, because change is scary. You will be learning all about them and how to overcome them if you would just get them out of your way for a minute and register with this nice big button right here:
