Leading in business can be a tough gig! What's occupying your mindset right now? Where do you need to focus in order to complete your 2026 delivery plans? 🚀

🤯Feeling stuck in your thinking over a current challenge?
🤯Struggling to find a balance between work and home?
🤯Lost your way and want to find meaning and purpose in the next phase of your life?

You can break free. Gaining a better understanding of the balance of negative and positive influences on your mindset and the self-command to shift into a more positive pattern will improve your level of Positive Intelligence PQ and help you start living the life you want.

💗Unblock your thinking and find a performance pathway - the obstacle is the way!
💗Develop self-command over your mindset and prioritise self-care!
💗Reconnect with your WHY and start living a life of meaning and purpose.

We are currently helping clients make positive sustainable shifts to their mental fitness that they are describing as 'transformational', 'life-changing' and 'the biggest light bulb moment', in improving their well-being, motivation, performance and relationships. Is it your turn to find freedom and peace?

What is PQ?

Positive Intelligence describes the balance of negative SABOTEUR (left brain and limbic system) and positive SAGE (right brain and middle pre-frontal cortex) influences on your mindset.

Our PQ programme builds mental fitness by helping you to literally re-wire neural pathways and activate the positive influences on your mindset - the pathway to personal and professional, happiness and fulfilment.

Want to know more? Drop 'EVIDENCE' in the comments and we'll send you a free whitepaper summarising the Neuroscience behind PQ and a link to a FREE positivity assessment.

You could wait until tomorrow, but you will have one day less.

Make the rest of your life, the best of your life!

We hear lots of businesses talk about how important their people are. They are the company's most important asset. They invest in their people. They believe in supporting and developing talent. 🏆🎯🥇

But when you scratch the surface, how many are really doing something tangible about it? 🤔⁉️

How many are doing it well? 🗣️📈📊

Do you have an ambition to put your people at the heart of your business but have yet to do anything about it? 🤔🤔

Wherever you are in your business planning cycle, one thing is for certain - you must Be Intentional. It is unlikely to happen by accident. 💥

You may not have thought about developing a People Plan, never mind aligning it precisely to your business strategy, but this is a critical step if you really want your people to be the biggest asset in your business. This will be even more crucial for your business growth plans in 2027 (no it is not too early to be thinking about this!!). 🧭

How to execute the foundations of a People Plan! 🎯

It doesn’t have to be complicated. Our simple template will help you think about the key steps and build a blueprint for success - we have done the hard work many times before - so it doesn't feel like hard work for you!

In our experience, businesses that engage their people in developing the plan also have a much greater chance of delivering it through that sense of co-creation and shared ownership that is crucial for staff engagement and retention! 🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🧑🏿‍🤝‍👩

Be intentional about aligning your People Plan to delivering your Business Goals – it's not too late to start and you won’t look back. 🥅💪

Is your business a fun place to work? 🤔

I know, I know, it's Tuesday! Heading into that middle of the week feeling, just waiting to get onto the downward slope into the weekend! Wouldn't it be great if the working week didn't feel like a slalom course! ⛷️What if you felt the energy and positivity usually reserved for a Friday - every day of the week! 🤩

(other working patterns are available 😜)

I see this 'vibe' with a growing number of clients we are working with at the moment who are really enthused about developing a culture of fun and play at work (not sure how enthused my kids are when I use the word 'vibe', though 😂😅)!!

We spend a significant amount of our daily lives at work, so how we feel about work inevitably impacts how happy we are. We are all more productive, resilient and creative when we are happy, so a happy workplace becomes a virtuous circle for businesses! 😃😄😁

This starts with a feeling of psychological safety, being supported, valued and developed to contribute to something we care about, but we also love to have fun. To play. This is a significant part of our ability to bring our whole selves to work. It is not a one-size-fits-all, though. Working out the right balance for your people and your workplace may take some experimentation. Getting it right will build social connections in your teams, loyalty to your firm, bring out the best in your people, and create a sense of belonging, which is crucial to our happiness and productivity. 🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏾🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏽🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏼🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏻🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏽🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏾🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏿🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏾😃

Three Steps!

1️⃣Our Workforce Condition Assessment will give you an independent baseline of how your people feel about work and the clarity you need on where to focus improvement activity.

2️⃣We will help you align this activity with your People Plans and draw a direct line to your strategic business objectives.

3️⃣Get your people on board with our Positive Intelligence PQ coaching programmes which help embody a more positive, playful and hopeful mindset supporting individuals, teams and organisations to develop a culture of increased positivity, productivity, performance and purpose.

Make your workplace a fun place to work, and watch your people and your business GROW. 💗🪴💹

Have you ever thought about investing in coaching for your business? 🤔

Why would you?? Well, perhaps consider whether this is this a bridge you need to cross on your own? Do you need to cross it at all? Is the other side somewhere you want to be? Are there other ways to get there?

🤯Struggling with mental and emotional energy?
🤯Feeling frustrated with slow progress?
🤯Avoiding 'difficult' conversations?
🤯Reduced drive for performance, innovation or change?

Are you sure your people have the right skills to grow your business? 🤔⁉️

I have always had a thirst for developing knowledge and skills, but, for me, they must have a purpose and be aligned with what you hope to achieve in the short to medium term. 🎯

We are working with businesses like yours to take a dynamic approach to ‘reskilling and redeploying talent’ as a key business priority as we adjust to new business paradigms catalysed by the evolution of hybrid working and the current financial climate. ⚠️

More and more businesses are ‘pivoting’ (it sounds far more graceful than it actually is) and having to re-focus their business objectives and activities in light of drastic market changes, sales pipeline volatility and people's changing relationship with the workplace. 🪧🚦

It is important that you re-assess the impact of these changes on your skill and talent management strategies to ensure your people can still contribute to the changing demands – critical for their well-being and also the performance and productivity of your business. 💓🎭📈

How well your people can leverage these skills will then become a factor of their broader condition - how they feel about work - and our PQ Mental Fitness Coaching programs are providing the perfect platform to help people be at their best - for themselves, for their teams and for the organisation. Generating a positive mindset first, significantly improves the ROI for subsequent skills training. An investment with sustainable returns.

Building a capability map for your business will give great oversight of where you are, where you want to get to and how you are progressing. As well as helping with momentum, this will also allow a smoother change of direction when you face inevitable bumps in the road. It may become a 'graceful pivot' after all! 😍

Carry out a skills and condition assessment to ensure your people remain fit to contribute and watch your people and your business GROW. 📋💓📈🪴

What are you doing to ensure your people have confidence in their capability to grow their career and your business? We would love to hear what is working for you right now!

And if you are struggling - we can help.

How much difference could this make to your growth plans for 2026 and beyond?

Resilience isn't about how much you can endure. It’s about how fast you can bounce back.

Most of us spend days (or weeks) stuck in stress mode after a setback, spiralling into self-criticism, blaming others, or overthinking.

But mental fitness is just like physical fitness. You need to build mental strength to pull yourself out of a stress spiral and find a solution faster.

When you strengthen your mental fitness, you’re able to:

✔️ Silence your inner critics (the voices that keep you stuck in the problem).

✔️ Access your inner wisdom (the part of you that finds the solution).

Newsflash 💥- you can rewire your brain. Just like you develop physical muscle at the gym, you can develop the strength of your PQ Brain. The process involves 3 key steps.

1️⃣Catch Your Saboteurs
You can’t change a habit if you don’t notice it. The moment you feel stress, anxiety, or frustration, pause. Recognize that this is a Saboteur.

2️⃣Energise Your Sage Brain
Once you’ve caught your Saboteurs, you need to shift your brain activation. You do this through something called a PQ Rep - a 10-second exercise where you focus your full attention on a physical sensation which acts as a simple reset for your nervous system.

3️⃣ Use Your Sage Powers
Now that you’re centred, you can use your Sage Powers to build resilience:

Empathise. Bring compassion to yourself and others in a difficult moment.
Explore. Look at the facts with deep curiosity instead of judgement.
Innovate. Find new ways to solve the problem.
Navigate. Choose the path that aligns with your deepest values.
Activate. Take calm, laser-focused action without the interference of fear.

Find the Gift: Turning Setbacks into Fuel
The ultimate practice of resilience is being able to find the gift or opportunity in any setback. It’s a technique used by the most resilient people in the world.

The Path Forward: 7 Weeks to Rewire
Building resilience is a journey, not a sprint. It takes about 21 days of consistent practice to notice a shift in your neural pathways. It takes about seven weeks to make those changes stick.

Ready to start? The first step to help you build resilience is to know where you stand. Comment 'FREEMIND' to take the free PQ assessment and start the journey of building YOUR resilience today.

Make the REST of your life, the BEST of your life.

Running a business and leading teams is tough! It feels like it's all on you. You will always look after everyone else first - but who is looking after you? 🤔

Is the pressure starting to mount up? 😟

The list keeps growing and you can't see the wood for the trees? 📃📃📃📃

Are you noticing signs that you might be struggling but just keep 'powering on'? 😧💔🤯

You can break free. Gaining a better understanding of the profile of negative and positive influences on your mindset and the self-command to shift into a more supportive pattern will improve your level of Positive Intelligence PQ and help you regain balance and focus and a more sustainable performance edge.

That might be the critical difference in you or your team delivering sustainable performance in the second half of 2026!

What is PQ?

Positive Intelligence describes the balance of negative SABOTEUR (left brain and limbic system) and positive SAGE (right brain and middle pre-frontal cortex) influences on your mindset. 🧠

Your PQ will determine your effectiveness and whether you achieve your potential (a combination of your cognitive intelligence IQ and your emotional intelligence EQ).

Our PQ programme builds mental fitness by helping you to literally re-wire neural pathways and activate the positive influences on your mindset - the pathway to personal and professional, happiness and fulfilment. 💗

Take our free assessment to find how much your mindset might be impacting you at the moment - comment 'FREEMIND' below or drop me a DM to get the link. 👇🏼
