What are the unique techniques used in Brian D Smith's Positive Intelligence coaching?

I blend the core Positive Intelligence (PQ) method with my own grief-informed perspective. Here are the unique twists I bring:

1. Saboteur work through a grief lens
   I don’t just identify your inner critics; I connect them to how loss, trauma, or early conditioning shaped them, so you feel compassion instead of shame.

2. Sage powers for real‑life stress
   We practice the five Sage powers (Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, Activate) using your current challenges—grief, work, parenting, relationships—so it’s not theoretical.

3. Micro-practices tailored to you
   PQ reps (1-minute exercises, 3–10x/day) are customized: breath, touch, body awareness, or visual focus, depending on what actually calms your nervous system.

4. Spiritual-but-practical framing
   I weave in my “engineer’s mind and father’s heart” approach: evidence-based mental fitness plus the bigger picture—that you’re more than your circumstances and love never dies.

5. Accountability with kindness
   We use the app’s tracking plus gentle check-ins. No boot camp energy—steady, compassionate nudges.
