Why Positive Intelligence (PQ)?

Life is undeniably beautiful, yet it can also be incredibly challenging—especially for women in leadership roles. Despite their success, many continue to struggle with imposter syndrome, anxiety, and the fear of confronting conflict. Balancing the need to be direct with the pressure to be “nice” can be exhausting, as can dealing with difficult people and setting boundaries. These challenges often leave even the most accomplished women feeling overwhelmed.

About 15 years ago, someone close to me was diagnosed with cancer. Through her journey, I learned that positive emotions like love and joy can coexist with negative emotions like anger and grief. This lesson has proven invaluable as I’ve navigated my own leadership journey.

It wasn’t until I discovered Positive Intelligence (PQ) that I truly learned how to navigate the full spectrum of human emotions while leading with confidence and positivity. In 2021, amidst the challenges of COVID-19 and my husband’s battle with both combat-induced PTSD and the complex PTSD resulting from a lifetime of microaggressions, racism, and cross-cultural challenges, PQ became my guiding light.

This transformative practice brought me inner peace, deeper relationships, and resilience, enabling me to support my husband and our family without losing myself. We emerged stronger, happier, and with a clear vision for our future, even in the face of life’s most difficult moments.

Mental fitness, particularly through PQ, should be a cornerstone of leadership development. While activities like yoga or meditation contribute to holistic well-being, PQ has been the game-changing tool that helped me conquer challenges, set boundaries, and manage conflict effectively.

PQ isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about transforming how you experience leadership and life, which directly impacts your relationships with others and your effectiveness as a leader.

Through my coaching, I share this transformation with you. I believe in continuous learning, forgiveness, and hard work as the pillars of a fulfilling life, and PQ offers tangible strategies to elevate your mental fitness and leadership presence.

My commitment goes beyond personal growth; it’s about empowering women to lead with confidence, clarity, and compassion. PQ has equipped me with the mindset to make a positive impact not just on my own life, but on the lives of those I lead and work with.

With my coaching, you’ll pursue your goals as a leader, learning how PQ and mental fitness can be your allies in achieving them. Together, we’ll harness PQ and other tools like Job Crafting and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to make a profound difference in your leadership and the world around you.

Raising three incredible children, supporting my husband’s recovery from PTSD while building his business, founding Sekoly Kintana myself, and living in Madagascar and France have enriched my coaching with a unique perspective. Adding PQ to the mix has been a gift that I cherish every day, even on the hard days.

Let’s embark on this empowering journey together and create a brighter future for yourself and those you lead!
