• Positive Intelligence (PQ): The Positive Intelligence (PQ) framework was created by Shirzad Chahine to build mental fitness. Mental fitness is a way to build our capacity to respond to life's challenges with a positive rather than negative mindset. Through this program, clients are helped to truly understand the neuroscience of Mental Fitness and discover what happens as they apply Mental Fitness to multiple aspects of their life.

• 360 Reviews: Max provides both customized online 360 reviews and narrative 360 reviews for clients. 360 reviews are a powerful tool for gaining feedback on a leader to support their development.
