You've probably heard of EQ, IQ, and now we're discussing PQ! Listen as we chat with Shirzad Chamine about the ways we're sabotaging our love lives and how we can use positive intelligence to work through it. We discuss the 9 saboteurs that will inevitably come out in every relationship, why we're all wired to judge our partners (or dates), and how we can flex our PQ muscles to start having fulfilling relationships.

Learn more about Shirzad's work at https://www.positiveintelligence.com/ and discover your saboteurs by taking the quiz: https://assessment.positiveintelligence.com/saboteur/overview
