Because FITNESS for the brain is just as important as physical fitness for your overall well-being, mental health, stress reduction, and increased performance. Especially within teams & across organisations!
And like any sustainable physical fitness regime, this is a mental fitness regime for life.
You start with the Foundational 7-week PQ® Mental fitness program filled with evidence-based content in an app-guided program, with an accountability coach (me) and support pod, that actually changes the neural pathways in your brain as seen under Functional MRI studies. The PQ® Program then continues with topics to apply to your every day life in work, relationships, and well-being.

When I weave in this app-guided program into my coaching package, it becomes an “accelerator”—because when you discover what has been getting in your way and apply the PQ tools and habits stacking techniques on a daily basis, you quickly achieve what brought you to coaching in the first place. And just like physical fitness; mental fitness is a long game.

I’ve achieved increased patience, increased discipline, and increased laser-focus on whatever I’m working on. I plan better. I employ better time-management strategies; overall have more confidence and feel stronger. My team comments that they see me deliver on time, on target, and they say I am better at listening to them, with less talking ‘at them’. I used the PQ® app daily the entire year of my subscription.
— H.L. Finance & Security Leader in the banking industry, Saudi (October 2022)
I reached out to Karen who introduced me to the PQ® program for mental fitness, to shift my mindset from negative to positive, to enhance my happiness and performance, and remove the obstacles in my own path, and prisoner of my own thoughts.
— Finance Leader, Oman, Shell Oman (May 2023)
I've been on a coaching journey with Karen for over a year which was transformational... I was challenged, pushed, cheered on, and held accountable to deliver. The PQ® program was the cherry on the top after a 1-year coaching commitment that pushed me even further to look inward, raise not only my self-awareness, but also my self-compassion... like all meaningful experiences in life, this program was both challenging and rewarding.
— HR Leader, Saudi Aramco (September 2020)
Every coaching session with Karen created a sustainable and powerful inner shift in clarity, confidence, and readiness to take action... the PQ® app kept me charged, engaged in between sessions... and I knew Karen was tracking me, rooting for me, and holding space for my growth.
— VP, Silicon Valley start-up (August 2021)
“Having found this PQ® Mental Fitness program post-retirement, I often reflect on what a game-changer it would have been for our organization if we had all gone through this specific program together. Sure, we achieved amazing mission outcomes, but often at the expense of sleepless nights, heated conflicts, stress, burnout, long hours, missed time with family, guilt, self-doubt, and all-around unhappiness. An initial reaction to change is a normal human response, but there is no need to suffer longer than a few seconds. So, to all my former colleagues, don’t waste another minute suffering from the sabotaging effects of your survival brain — sign up now!”

So ask yourself: what is at the core of what’s stopping you?
fear?
imposter syndrome?
lack of confidence?
lack of leadership skills?
past trauma?
voices in your head that says “you can’t”?
What I have discovered over the decades of coaching is that it’s these fears and and thoughts and voices in our heads that stop us. Stop us from what we truly want. And deserve.
Chances are it is some level of uncertainty or self-doubt that is not serving you.
And why I approach coaching from a mindset framework, addressing: “getting to the cor* of what stops you...” from taking clear, calm, laser-focused action… from being that person who doesn’t let her fears stop her from getting what she wants…. from .being that great leader—not just good leader—you are capable of being.
As a Certified PQ® Mental Fitness Coach, I lay the foundation for accelerating the development of leaders, and individuals and strengthening teams creating long-term, sustainable results in individuals and organisations by improving:
your capacity to respond to life and work challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset
resulting in mastering your physiology in the ways you respond that increases
focus, confidence, resiliency and decision-making—4 top critical leadership competencies, resulting in a growth mindset.
If you’re ready to rewire your brain…

May I give you a demo?
Update: As of March 2025, the Saboteur Assessment has been conducted with over 1M unique participants worldwide.
Then, calculate your “PQ Score” = Positive Intelligence Quotient to reveal your mental fitness level. What’s the current strength of your positive mental muscles versus the negative? A PQ Score of 75 is the tipping point.
Next, take the Saboteur Assessment to discover what gets in your way. Which saboteurs cause you the greatest stress? Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions as you handle life’s everyday challenges. They represent the automatic patterns in your mind for how to think, feel, and respond. Your Saboteurs cause all of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness. They sabotage your performance, wellbeing, and relationships.
“Becoming aware of your thought processes and limited beliefs is the first step to examining, gaining awareness, and changing behaviours that no longer serve you.” - Shirzad Chamine, CEO and Founder of POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE®
By taking this assessment, you join over 1,000,000 people from more than 120 countries who have completed this assessment as the first step in making dramatic improvements in their performance, well-being, and relationships.
“Between the stimulus and response, there is a space.
And in that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
(Viktor Frankl, Austrian neurologist and psychologist, 1946)

“I had been in a coaching journey with Karen for over a year which was transformational in and of itself. I was challenged, pushed, cheered on, and held accountable to deliver. This PQ® Mental Fitness Program was the cherry on top after a one-year coaching commitment that pushed me even further to look inwards, raise not only my self awareness but also my self compassion. Like all meaningful experiences in life, this program was both challenging & rewarding. The (coaching) app is built in a way to “disrupt” your daily routine with quick & simple challenges that have big impact on your relationship with yourself, loved ones & the world. The pod was particularly helpful to connect with others, learn how they are struggling & thriving, and better understand the mental fitness content.
Coaching with Karen has been one of the best investments I’ve made. If you are unsure or waiting for a sign, JUST DO IT!”
— I.L, Saudi female leader
