HR Oxygen Podcast
- August 2, 2022
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
