We've all heard of IQ. Some of us know about EQ. But what about PQ? PQ stands for Positive Intelligence and it's a concept that can help you quiet negative voices in your head and enable you to make better decisions. It also help you increase your self-confidence, emotional self-control, resilience, optimism, and empathy, while decreasing overwhelm, burnout, stress, and conflict.
If that sounds good to you, then please listen to this episode with our special guest Lei Comerford. She is a coach who also facilitates the PQ program. We talk about PQ and she even debriefs my assessment results so you can get a better sense of what this program does.

More often than not, people are promoted to roles in management with very little training and few expectations set. That of course is a recipe for disaster (although it keeps us busy at Boss Builders!) but one you can prevent. Our guest today is one of the most knowledgable people I know. Keppel Bharath is a retired Senior Fellow from Pratt & Whitney Canada. I had the pleasure of meeting Keppel many years ago and was amazed at his knowledge.
