Vital Quest© is powered by the proven PQ® Program

​

Positive Intelligence® (aka PQ®) is a mental fitness program that utilizes research-based tools to empower wellness, performance, and healthy relationships by laying down new neural pathways that form lasting positive habits.

Through weekly focus and daily practice, the PQ® Program helps identify and decrease negative thoughts (your Saboteurs) and works to  increase positive thoughts (your Sage).

Why Group Coaching Works for High-Performing ADHD Minds

Group coaching blends structure, social support, and novelty — three key ingredients shown to improve motivation, focus, and follow-through in people with ADHD.

 

Research highlights the power of peer interaction and accountability in boosting executive function, while the Positive Intelligence (PQ) app builds daily self-awareness and mental fitness. Together, these tools create momentum that lasts.

 

Here’s how this 12-week small group program (max 5 people) delivers results:

​

• Energy Awareness to Prevent Burnout and Reclaim Focus
  Your semester-long membership kicks off with the Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) assessment. This measure is unique in the crowded field of assessments because it is dynamic, like you. The ELI helps you recognize how your energy shifts in both high-performance and high-stress moments. For ADHD minds with big ideas and passion, this awareness is key — it helps you spot early signs of burnout, notice when you're over-indexing on rejection, and shift out of a rumination spiral. By understanding your energy patterns, you can respond more consciously, stay grounded, and keep moving forward with clarity.
   

• Built-in Accountability and Belonging
  Weekly sessions provide consistent check-ins, camaraderie, and shared wins — reducing isolation and activating the brain’s reward system through connection (Barkley, 2011; Deci & Ryan, 2000).
   

• Structure that Supports Autonomy
  The group uses clear weekly goals, short practices, and self-directed reflection, creating a flexible but focused framework proven to support motivation in ADHD (Brown, 2005; Ramsay & Rostain, 2015).
   

• Mental Fitness with the PQ App
  Daily 10-minute exercises rewire neural pathways toward positive focus, impulse control, and emotional resilience — core deficits in ADHD — while increasing cognitive agility (Chamine, 2012; ADHD Coaching Research Consortium, 2018).
   

• Novelty and Insight from Diverse Thinkers
  The small group format sparks fresh ideas, divergent problem-solving, and creative breakthroughs — harnessing the natural ADHD strength of innovation while reducing overwhelm.

Find out what Saboteurs are causing you stress with this unique (free) assessment. Detailed descriptions of the Saboteurs and how they arose earlier in your life as a protective mechanism will be provided to you along with your results. We'll use this as our starting point when we begin this program.

 

Self Mastery is a journey! To get a baseline PQ score (which provides you with the proportion of time you are in command of your brain), take this quick assessment. We'll also use this to show how your self-mastery evolves over time and with life circumstances that may introduce new challenges.

​

An initial 60 minute consultation will be conducted prior to the start date to get to know you and your story. During this time we will co-create a Compass that measures what is meaningful to you on this journey. Your membership also includes two 1:1 coaching sessions.  

 

One of our highest aims is to build a trusting community. You will be invited to join this group if you are a high-performer with ADHD/autism/gifted-2e, and will be asked to commit to the full 16 weeks.  ​​​​​​​
