Due to the challenging nature of public sector work, employee engagement and innovation are paramount. The PQ Program is a proven neuroscience-based approach to building mental fitness in individuals and across organizations.

Develop collaborative leaders, transcend organizational boundaries, and build bridges with the power of mental fitness training
Public sector employees have unique opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others. They also face unique challenges. Limited resources, heavy workloads, multiple layers of oversight, and a constantly changing environment make it difficult to innovate. In today’s public sector, solving big problems means leading across organizational boundaries. Fostering a culture of collaborative leaders who can build bridges between organizations, including partners in the private sector, is critical to mission success.
Positive Intelligence helps build and support a culture of collaborative leaders. The PQ Program represents a breakthrough in the ability to raise Emotional Intelligence (EQ) across an organization. Our factor analysis research dramatically simplifies the process of building EQ by identifying the root-level building blocks of EQ. In the Positive Intelligence program, 17 out of 18 EQ competencies are automatically developed through intercepting negative thought patterns and activating the self-command center of the brain.
Strengthening these habit-forming muscles leads to lasting positive change for program participants*

Public sector employees who strengthen their EQ competencies through mental fitness training are better able to handle the challenges that come their way:
Leading organizational change and leading through uncertainty
Learning and embracing emerging technologies, including AI
Overcoming burnout caused by changing priorities and workload
Collaborating across boundaries to create resources and relationships
Adjusting to a new hybrid work environment or return to work
The PQ Program harnesses EQ competencies to help government organizations:
Increase empowerment and promote equity across the employee population
Elevate teamwork, collaboration, and innovation
Reduce employee stress and burnout
Improve employee engagement and morale
Foster a collaborative leadership culture that transcends organizational boundaries
Enhance management capabilities and inspirational leadership skills
Improve conflict management and influencing skills
Having found the PQ Program post-retirement, I often reflect on what a game-changer it would have been for our organization if we had all gone through the PQ Program together. Sure, we achieved amazing mission outcomes, but often at the expense of sleepless nights, heated conflicts, stress, burnout, long hours, missed time with family, guilt, self-doubt, and all-around unhappiness. An initial reaction to change is a normal human response, but there is no need to suffer longer than a few seconds. So, to all my former colleagues across the government, don’t waste another minute suffering from the sabotaging effects of your survival brain — sign up now!
