PQ FLOW Training & Coaching
Helping Business Leaders Navigate Conflict, Master Communications and Increase Leadership Charisma through PQ FLOW Training & Coaching.
Based on PQ - Positive Intelligence Quotient, as developed by bestselling author Shirzad Chamine
What is Positive Quotient - PQ?
We call it Mental Fitness. It's like going to the gym for your body, except in PQ you go to the PQ gym to increase your mental fitness. PQ helps you get rid of your flabby mental muscles. It's how you get your brain in shape and rewire it for better performance and productivity.
Positive Intelligence Quotient (PQ) helps you navigate inevitable conflicts leaders face every day. Not only do you face inner conflicts in yourself, but you face external conflicts with your team, your people, your customers, your vendors and others.
Your first step to navigating conflict and improving your communication is to identify and weaken the Saboteurs that are messing with your head. The Saboteurs are the ones who are the source of your conflicts.
When you weaken the Saboteurs you can switch to the Five Sage Powers and learn the power of navigating conflict and activating your communications. This will result in the development of your powerful Leadership Legacy.
Don't let Your Saboteurs fool you...they are not helping you!
Identify and Weaken Your Saboteurs - They are keeping You STUCK in Old Habits and Thought Patterns
The Judge and the Nine Accomplice Saboteurs
Who are the Saboteurs running the show in your life? Everyone has The Judge, the ring leader who criticizes you, everyone else, and every circumstance in a harsh, demeaning voice. The Judge does not act alone. He has 9 Accomplice Saboteurs and they back up the Judge to help suck the joy and happiness out of everything you do.
Comments from the Saboteurs:
The Hyper-Achiever: "I'm a workaholic burnout. I willingly sacrifice people to get to my success. If I don't achieve, I am nothing."
The Pleaser: "Giving everything away and having nothing left is one of the loneliest places to be."
The Controller: "If I don't control things, I will be controlled and I can't live with that. Besides, others want and need me to take control. I'm doing them a favor."
The Hyper-Rational: "Dealing with people's emotions gets in the way of productivity. I'd rather take a rational approach and get things done without messy emotions in the way."
PQ - Positive Intelligence = Mental Fitness
Just like athletes go to the gym everyday to keep up their physical fitness, so too do Leaders who want to stay Mentally Fit. PQ equips you to be ready to handle all of the challenges life throws at you. No more "Bad Boss" habits that keep you stuck in old ways of thinking and in negative behavior.

Have You Ever Had a "Bad Boss?"
I'm a professional eavesdropper, aka Market Researcher. My clients often have misaligned teams and ask me to figure out what's going on. Over the years I've listened in on thousands of employee conversations and here's what always comes up - the "Bad Boss."
From these thousands of conversations I can tell you the biggest reason why employees aren't loyal, don't love their jobs, and why they'll leave if they get a better offer. My research shows that it's usually not the team that's the problem...it's the "Bad Boss."
The thing is people don't set out to be "Bad Bosses," they just develop bad habits along the way that they're not aware of. I help leaders become more aware of their behavior and hold them accountable for breaking bad habits.
My passion is the Workplace and I'm here to help you become a Great Leader through PQ FLOW Training & Coaching.
““I really appreciated getting involved in the PQ system. It has helped me to better understand myself which improved my relationships both at home and at work. I truly would recommend PQ to all who want to find a positive way to approach issues in life and work.”
Larry Brown
EVP, Human Resources, High Industries, Inc. (Retired)
“I am so grateful for PQ. I've become hyper-aware of how reactionary I've been in the past. I have a new way of responding to challenges now. As I look back on negative things in my life, I can now see how sad things have become a gift. I am more open and aware of how I come across to people.”

“Kae has a rare combination of being a high vibration, empathic individual who is also an expert at business structures, best practices and marketing.

Positive Intelligence - PQ and PQ FLOW Training & Coaching
To: Business Owners and Executives - all the "Bad Bosses" in the Business World
From the Desk of: Kae Wagner, President North Star Marketing and PQ Training & FLOW Coaching
RE: What is PQ - Positive Intelligence and How PQ helps "Bad Bosses" become Great Leaders
PQ FLOW Training & Coaching is a unique executive and team program designed those who value lifelong learning and understand personal self-development as the best way to create a healthy culture and gain an edge in their professions and businesses. It's a powerful competitive edge for leaders who want to do more than have a successful career...they want to live a life of purpose and meaning and leave a legacy their grandchildren will be proud of. PQ is how the "Bad Boss" ditches bad habits and learns how to become a Great Leader with a lasting legacy.
The Real Problem PQ Fixes - Why Conferences, Workshops, and Executive Retreats Don't Have a Lasting Impact
Leaders love getting inspiration and motivation from retreats, workshops and conferences. Everyone comes back fired up, ready to make lasting change. But it doesn't work. Here's what happens:
Over time the positive results fade away and in a short time disappear altogether. The problem is not that the insights weren't great or transformational; the problem is that there were no new habits built to sustain the transformation and new learnings. There was no plan for implementation for sustainable change.
That's the real problem PQ fixes...the ability to sustain positive change for leaders and then cascade that positive change to the rest of the organization and to their families.
PQ impacts the leader's complete Ecosystem with sustainable positive change rippling around the world.
The real problem PQ solves is huge...insight + action = Mental Fitness and Emotional Freedom. Try it out and see for yourself.

Just as we measure and need to increase our IQ and EQ, we also measure and increase our PQ to become better leaders, create healthier cultures, and transform the workplace from a place of human tragedy to a place where we can achieve our greatest human potential.
What is Positive Quotient - PQ?
Your Positive Intelligence Quotient measures how well you, as the "Bad Boss," manage your thoughts and emotions in order to achieve your human potential at work and in life.
We call it Mental Fitness. It's like going to the gym for your body, but PQ helps you get rid of your flabby mental muscles. It's like getting your brain is shape.
Your mind will trick you into thinking that your thoughts are the truth; that what you think about your life is true. For example, if you think life is hard, you will experience it that way. If you think empathy and compassion are a waste of energy, you’ll cut off feelings and be empty. If you think you are a victim of your circumstances, you will wade in inertia. “As a man thinketh…”
In order to fully experience life…to change emptiness into fulfillment, to go beyond frustration to patient listening, to erase listlessness and embrace physical and mental energy...we need to start with a deep examination of the Saboteurs’ lies that we’ve bought into for so many years.
What needs to change is our thoughts and our "Bad Boss" patterns. When these change, you start to create the Legacy of Leadership that you truly want for now and in the future.
The Saboteurs that run Your Mind
You might have acquired "Bad Boss" habits over the years. PQ reveals that these habits come from the “Saboteurs” in your mind that are running your life and telling you lies. They are like the little devil on your shoulder whispering sweet nothings in your ear and you believe their sabotaging lies.
The Saboteurs are the patterns of thoughts you developed as a child to protect you in childhood, but now, they’ve become neurological patterns running your life. These Saboteurs mask the reality of your life by tricking you into thinking your thoughts are true. As a result, we go through life without joy and contentment, because we don't know life doesn't have to be hard.
Global research firm Gallup's workplace research tells us that only 36% of all workers, including executives, are fully engaged in their work. That leaves 49% who are not engaged, plus 15% who are actively disengaged. That’s a tragedy to me, especially when I know that work can be a source of fulfillment and achievement. The workplace can be the best place for developing human potential, leveraging our skills and talents, giving our lives meaning and purpose.
PQ FLOW Training & Coaching is based on Positive Intelligence, developed by Shirzad Chamine, and focuses on helping executives increase their PQ levels by managing their thoughts, weakening the Saboteurs, and engaging their natural Sage wisdom.
“Your mind is your best friend,” writes Chamine in his book, Positive Intelligence. “But it is also your worst enemy. Undetected “saboteurs” in your mind cause most of your setbacks without your full awareness. The consequences are huge. Only 20 percent of individuals and teams achieve their true potential. The rest of us waste a lot of our time and energy playing Sisyphus.” (The ancient King who was punished by having to push a huge boulder up a steep hill over and over again, only to have it roll back down to the bottom each time.)
In order to fully experience life…to change emptiness into fulfillment, to go beyond frustration to patient listening, to erase listlessness and embrace physical and mental energy, to move from restlessness and dissatisfaction to contentment and joy ..we start with a deep examination of how we think about our lives and the Saboteurs’ lies we’ve bought into for so many years.
Change starts with our thoughts. It’s not your life that’s giving you trouble, it’s your thoughts, aka the Saboteurs’ lies about your life that are the problem. Learn to manage your thoughts, my friend, and you will unleash your potential and create a life you love. Ditch the "Bad Boss" habits and become a great leader with a lasting legacy.
WHY PQ FLOW Training & Coaching for the "Bad Boss"?
The "Bad Boss" creates the culture and sets the pace for the Workplace. Everything starts at the top and trickles down. When the "Bad Boss" sneezes...everyone gets a cold! It's time to change the workplace and it's up to the "Bad Boss."
The workplace holds a special place in our lives...we get huge joy and happiness when we are able to achieve our highest potential doing work we excel at and love. Many of our long term relationships come from those we work with, but the workplace can also be a hotbed of human tragedy and toxicity, and the source of much suffering.
It’s also the greatest “game” we play - the one with the highest stakes; measured by quarterly profits, employee size, top line revenue numbers, company and professional reputation, notable achievements…and ultimately a reflection of our net worth - literally and figuratively.
But, now more than ever, with the awakening of our collective consciousness, we must focus on the workplace as an opportunity for leaders to create cultures where human potential can flourish and expand and people are more important than profits.
Leaders create culture by building guardrails to protect the vision and values within an organization. In addition, they develop the conditions for success so their teams become high-functioning and high-performing contributors to the organization’s productivity and profits.
As the "Bad Boss" changes and increases PQ levels, the entire organization is lifted. Executives and employees find a common ground for workplace and personal transformation. Even the most difficult employees are positively impacted and “miraculously” become likable and relatable. PQ flows over into personal relationships, increases family bonds, and enhances community engagement.
But don’t sing “Kumbaya” just yet. There’s work to be done to integrate PQ FLOW into your organization.
PQ FLOW Training & Coaching applies the PQ principles of the Saboteur and the Sage to fill the gap that other programs haven't been able to fill. Specifically, PQ creates sustainable change by integrating daily, easy to use mechanisms to create new neural pathways. These mechanisms teach executives how to turn down the "red hot glare" of the left brain and turn up the "calming white light" of the right brain.
As a result, PQ FLOW Training & Coaching creates sustainable, positive change that doesn't fade away and become the management flavor of the month.
Your Saboteur Thoughts about PQ FLOW Training & Coaching
If your Saboteur is fighting back right now you might have these thoughts floating through your mind:
“This is crazy…you can’t just change your thoughts and change everything. That’s ridiculous.”
“Life is hard, and you can’t think your way out of that.”
“This is BS…the issues I face are real…they’re not just my thoughts. There are real problems.”
The Saboteurs won’t go down easily. They are deeply ingrained in your left brain neural pathways and used to running the show…aka your life. Their survival is in being in control by managing your thoughts and if you want to take back your life, create a new way of living, they will put up a fight.
The closer you get to a breakthrough, the more resistance you’ll have…the more seeds of doubt your Saboteurs will plant in your thoughts.
