Your Coaching Grant Journey Was Just the Beginning

PQ Coach is a membership program designed to earn your subscription for years to come. If you’re unsatisfied, you can cancel anytime with no lock-in.

You must have an active membership to take advantage of the membership benefits — including ongoing PQ Coaching and business development training, access to the included PQ Program for your clients or prospects, the use of Positive Intelligence Intellectual Property, live sessions, and community access.

Your PQ Coach membership will renew monthly or annually until you cancel — which is as simple as contacting the Support team. There’s absolutely no lock-in or minimum length of membership.

If you want to significantly increase your impact on each client and dramatically increase your client base, then full PQ Coach membership is for you!

PQ Coach includes not only the recorded training material from the PQ Coaching and Business Development track, but also a host of live training opportunities and access to our global community of coaches.When you join PQ Coach now, membership includes PQ Coach Launchpad, a special 6-week guided onboarding experience. To ensure you start strong, this structured onboarding program is designed to help you confidently apply the PQ operating system and begin changing lives right away.

Most importantly, you get access to our technology platform to help bring PQ to your clients and prospects. And with that necessary experience, you are qualified to apply for certification — included in your membership at no cost.

We believe that full PQ Coach membership is the best choice for most coaches.

If you know that you’re unable to take advantage of the full PQ Coach membership at this time, but want to continue your journey with Positive Intelligence, we’ve created PQ Coach Essentials just for you.

PQ Coach Essentials includes the same high-quality recorded training from the PQ Coaching and Business Development tracks, as well as the supporting materials, so that you can learn at your own pace.

Note: PQ Coach Essentials does NOT include PQ Coach Launchpad, live lessons or Q&A and does not provide access to our technology platform.

The most cost-effective way to join PQ Coach is with our annual options. With savings of up to $300/year over the monthly subscription, annual membership is ideal for coaches who want to focus on growing their coaching practice without worrying about monthly fees.

Your membership is valid for a full year and will renew annually until you cancel.

We also offer monthly subscriptions that allow you to get started right away for the lowest up-front cost. (Note: Make sure to click the toggle above to select annual or monthly membership.)

As with any Positive Intelligence product, you can cancel any time within the first 30 days for a full refund — which is as simple as contacting my Support team.

Anyone who joins PQ Coach before Wednesday, June 4 at 11:59pm Pacific Time will receive a special complimentary digital copy of my book as a sign of my gratitude.

All of the PQ Coach training sessions are delivered as online video lessons, just like the training you completed.

We also include supplementary materials like blueprints, customizable slide decks, and sample marketing materials that you can use in your coaching business. These are all available in your dedicated Learning Hub so you can find everything in one place.

During the first 6 weeks of your PQ Coach membership, PQ Coach Launchpad ensures you start strong with step-by-step onboarding, live guidance, and an action plan to build momentum quickly. Foundational learning and content are covered in these weekly live sessions. These sessions are optional to attend, and recordings for the first six weeks are available to watch.

Following PQ Coach Launchpad, you’ll be welcomed into our global community of PQ coaches and have access to regular live PQ Coach Q&A sessions and Application Sessions.

During the first 6 weeks of your PQ Coach membership, PQ Coach Launchpad ensures you start strong with step-by-step onboarding, live guidance, and an action plan to build momentum quickly. Foundational learning and content are covered in these weekly live sessions.

To accommodate the widest range of time zones, live sessions will be held every Tuesday at 9am Pacific Time (12pm Eastern Time) for the first six weeks of your membership. These sessions are optional to attend, and recordings for the first six weeks are available to watch.

Following the PQ Coach Launchpad onboarding period, you will be invited to join live PQ Coach Q&A sessions and Application Sessions held on Wednesdays at 8am Pacific Time (11am Eastern Time). Attendance is optional, but it allows our program members direct access to us should they get stuck in the material or have questions.

The content is truly self-paced. You can go through the lessons and resources as slowly or quickly as you want.

Our PQ Coach members range from part-time to full-time coaches, and our community has beginner and advanced coaches. The membership is designed to meet you where you are.

If you want to take advantage of everything we offer – the PQ Coaching lessons, Sage Business Development lessons, and live sessions, you should set aside 2-3 hours per week and some extra time for implementation.

One important thing: don’t worry about falling behind. PQ Coach (and PQ Coach Essentials) is fully self-paced. You can work through sessions in any order you choose, and go as quickly or slowly as you like.

Active members have unlimited access to this training. If life gets in the way and you don’t have time for some of the training, that’s no problem — you can pick it back up any time you want.

We have intentionally designed this to be flexible to accommodate everyone’s different schedules and time availability.

Yes, the PQ Coach training program is approved by ICF for Continuing Coaching Education units. The PQ Coaching and Business Development tracks qualify each PQ Coach with up to 80 CCE units:

• Core Competency: 35.5 hours
• Resource Development: 44.5 hours

As long as you’re watching the videos in the Learning Hub, completing the worksheets, and participating in our Q&A sessions (live or recorded), you are eligible to receive the full 80 CCE units.

If you are renewing your ICF credentials, you’re required to earn 40 CCE units over a three year period. PQ Coach will deliver this for you in your first six months.

PQ Coaches come from more than 100 countries around the world and represent every niche; from working with kids and teens, to parents, couples, educators, NGOs, teams, spiritual seekers, etc.

The power of the PQ operating system is its universal applicability.

But don’t take it from me. Check out the hundreds of profiles of Certified Positive Intelligence Coaches in our client-matching Marketplace. Maybe go so far as to reach out to a coach in your niche to ask them about their PQ Coach experience so far.

We have coaches from every major coaching school and some schools of counseling and therapy. Some had initial concerns about incompatibility. For example, CTI coaches wondering if there was incompatibility between Process Coaching encouraging the client to stay with “negative” emotions versus us urging them to move on. Or Family System Therapy encouraging the client to welcome and incorporate all parts of oneself, versus our treatment of the Saboteurs.

In every instance, we’ve been able to show that the differences are either a matter of semantics, or a matter of beginner versus advanced application of the PQ techniques. For example, advanced PQ techniques do involve staying with a “negative” emotion under some very specific guidelines and techniques.

To date, not a single PQ Coach has determined an incompatibility forcing them to choose. On the contrary, PQ coaches learn how to use the PQ tools in a way that leverages their previous coach training to produce far greater results.

Of course. When you become a PQ Coach member, you can enroll team members and employees in your Client Dashboard — your first 5 clients are included with your membership.

When you’re ready to expand, PQ Coach Pro is designed to build a thriving ecosystem for professional coaches committed to bringing the PQ Program to clients at scale.

This membership level includes unlimited client access, professional sales live sessions, and dedicated customer support. Details on how to upgrade your membership to PQ Coach Pro will be shared after the dedicated six-week PQ Coach Launchpad experience.

Active PQ Coach members have the right to use Positive Intelligence Intellectual Property (IP). Members are permitted and encouraged to use the IP for the following:

• Coaching sessions
• Skill development for self
• As-is content sharing with clients and prospective clients, including website and app, Pod leader presentation materials, keynote and workshop materials, and client enrollment PDFs.

Once enrolled in PQ Coach membership, you can access resources for brand assets and IP guidelines.

You will have continue to have access to the content for the Coaching Grant program  for three months.

In addition, you’ll also receive a two-week free trial to our personal and professional development Applications in your PQ app. After the trial period, app subscriptions are $37/month or $349/year.

PQ Coach Essentials, our self-paced content-only training is offered year-round. It’s perfect for those with busy schedules looking to integrate PQ principles into their practice at their own pace.

However, we can only offer full PQ Coach membership a few times a year. That’s because full membership is packed with live sessions, access to our vibrant coaching community and, new in 2025, the PQ Coach Launchpad — your dedicated path to coaching success, facilitated live by Shirzad & our team members. When we close registration, it’s because we’re focussed on providing an incredible experience for our members.

If you know that now is not the right time to join PQ Coach, make sure to join our waitlist, and we will notify you as soon as membership opens again!

We are excited to partner with you and to change the world together.

When you join PQ Coach, you are able to guide your clients or prospects through the same flagship PQ Program that we offer at $995 per person on our website.

Your membership includes access to guide 5 clients through the PQ Program. For each client over the first 5, additional client access is available at a discounted rate for an administrative fee.

Use your included access to add your clients into the PQ Program, either as individuals or as part of a Pod.

Your clients have the same full access to the weekly training videos, daily app-guided exercises, and community support as someone who purchases the program directly from our website.

And, as their PQ Coach, you have access to a private Coach Dashboard where you monitor their progress and offer support throughout the program. Communicate with your clients individually, or send messages to their own private Pod channel, encouraging them and coaching them through tougher moments.

When guiding your clients through the PQ Program, you are in the driver’s seat for how to package, position, and charge for what’s next. Once a client completes the PQ Program, you share an operating system that serves as a foundation for your ongoing coaching sessions.

Your work with a client can continue long after they complete the PQ Program, supporting your client in becoming self-actualized by becoming more PQ-powered every day. This is uniquely possible with the PQ operating system and the wide variety of applications.

The first 5 clients included in your PQ Coach membership receive access to the PQ app for one full year. You have the option of enrolling additional clients beyond the first five at either a monthly or annual rate.

Ultimately, you are in control.

Many of our coaches like to have multiple clients enrolled in the PQ Program beyond the 5 clients included with their PQ Coach membership.

For each client over the first 5, additional client access is available at a discounted rate for an administrative fee. You can have a maximum of 25 new clients enroll in the PQ Program and PQ app per membership year.

One of the biggest obstacles to getting started as a new coach is providing material to your clients. By providing the PQ Program to your prospects, we take that burden away. You’ll have access to a very powerful tool, great material, and a brand name to support you.

PQ Coach membership includes access to supportive resources and learning tools to help you implement the PQ operating system with your prospects. Additionally, the business development resources provide the essentials for building and scaling your coaching business.

You can practice in many ways with our tools and resources, including by offering Saboteur Discovery Sessions to your friends and family, while also learning the business development lessons that will attract your future clients.

Your membership includes access to guide 5 clients through the PQ Program. For each client over the first 5, additional client access is available for an administrative fee, with the option of annual or monthly subscription.

PQ Coach Pro is for coaches committed to bringing the PQ Program to clients at scale. This membership level includes expanded client access, live professional sales sessions, PQ for Teams and Organizations, as well as a more robust professional community. Details on how to upgrade your membership to PQ Coach Pro become available after completing the six-week PQ Coach Launchpad experience.

Becoming a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach is included with your membership as an option to help you grow your business. There is no additional cost for this certification.

The PQ Coach training sessions required for certification are all unlocked after your six-week onboarding period.

You can go as quickly or as slowly as you choose, but if you follow along with the training at our suggested pace and complete all other requirements, you will be eligible for certification in a little more than 6 months.

However, there is no time constraint for completion. You can complete it at your own pace.

Yes! If you choose to become a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach, you do not lose this certification should you end your membership. That stays with you.

You will need an active PQ Coach membership in order to guide your clients and prospects through the PQ Program, as well as access other membership benefits like being listed in the Coach Marketplace. But this is independent of your certification status.
