Whatever you think, your actions will follow

Self Mastery
The ability to control your thoughts and emotions while making choices that support your growth and success.
Self Sabotage

Saboteurs

“I recently completed a 6-week Positive Intelligence program with Teresa Caro and found it highly valuable. The program’s emphasis on daily application was particularly impactful. While it is easy to understand the importance of mindfulness, consistently integrating it into daily life can be challenging. The brief, 2-minute daily prompts and challenges made it possible to incorporate the program’s teachings into my busy schedule. As a result, I have experienced noticeable improvements in my relationships with family, my ability to manage work-related stress, and my overall sense of well-being and optimism. Teresa is an excellent facilitator, and I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking actionable, meaningful change in their life.”

“It was an honor and a pleasure to complete the Positive Intelligence program with Teresa Caro and like-minded professional women. Teresa’s coaching style was warm, relatable, and educational, while giving us the space to explore our own thoughts and growth during the process. I learned so much about myself and the daily thoughts that fuel me (or sabotage me) and how to work through mental roadblocks. What surprised me most about the course was how easy it was to integrate into my schedule; it wasn’t a burden or something else to check off on the list. It was the first course I’ve taken in a long time that felt refreshing, challenged what I thought I knew about myself, gave me practical tools, instilled principles that stuck with me, and left me with a desire to keep going on my personal development journey. I highly recommend this course for any professional woman who is ready to grow from the inside out.”

Frequently asked questions

How does this course support professional and personal growth?

Many women face mental roadblocks that hinder growth and prevent positive changes. This course helps you recognize these personal saboteurs and offers valuable skills and strategies to overcome them.

What is Positive Intelligence?

Positive Intelligence is the primary framework of our mental fitness course. It focuses on building awareness of negative thought patterns and strengthening mental muscles to improve resilience, focus, and well-being. Learn more about the science and research behind Positive Intelligence. 

What results can I expect after completing the course?

You can anticipate achieving greater self-awareness and enhanced mental fitness, allowing you to more freely embrace opportunities for personal and professional growth.

How often are the sessions, and what is the weekly time commitment?

The course includes weekly hour-long learning modules, weekly hour-long live group coaching sessions, daily prompts for 10 minutes or so of exercises, and suggested time for self-reflection each day. Attending the group coaching sessions isn’t mandatory but is highly recommended to get the most out of the program.

What if I’ve already taken the Positive Intelligence course?

That’s great – it means you already have a strong knowledge and understanding of your saboteurs. You will be able to go deeper in your self-exploration with intention as you go through the Quantum Leap Experience. Our guides have taken the foundation course multiple times and continue to get value and insight with each time. 

Will I need any special tools or software, and can I access materials after the program ends?

You will only need a mobile device and an internet connection to access the group sessions and workbook and download the mobile app. You will have access to the mobile app for three months following the course.

How can I network with other participants?

You will be able to connect with other participants inside of the Positive Intelligence (PQ) App and you can join our Facebook group to connect with other Quantum Leap Experience members.

What is the average age of participants?

This event is designed for individuals with substantial life and career experience. Historically, the guides and attendees have been in their late-30s to late-50s. However, we welcome attendees of all ages. Our environment is inviting and suitable for anyone looking to make a leap.

What if I don't know anybody at the event?

Most attendees join the program alone and have a wonderful time—even the introverts! Everyone leaves with a special group of friends and plenty of stories and inside jokes.
