A Testimonial From a Life Coaching Client
I would like to share this beautiful article about Positive Intelligence written and published on multiple social media platforms by my friend and life coaching client, Arun Batchu:

  • "Nirav , (Stratosphere), and his coaching based on Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence (PQ) research have had an extraordinarily positive effect on my professional and personal life. In short but intense six weeks of training and practice from Nirav, I am able to take better command of myself in stressful situations, keep my Saboteurs at bay, and invoke my Sage to convert any situation into an opportunity.
  • The beneficial effect on my professional performance and personal life continues to be remarkable. Professionally, I am able to increase the quality and throughput of not only my own individual performance but also of the teams that I belong to. Personally, I am becoming a better person, invoking my sage self more than my saboteur self.
  • Saboteurs are thoughts that derail one’s mind. For e.g. my top three are Judge, Avoider, and Restless. The program personalized the positive intelligence coaching ( aka PQ Reps) for me based on my top three saboteurs. Nirav worked with me to keep me on task. The goal is to anticipate, recognize, and banish these derailers from the mindset and change behaviors.
  • Sage on the other hand is another name for wisdom. Nirav’s goal was to use Shirzad’s research to train me on growing my sage thoughts. There are five sage ways: Empathize (with the situation), Explore (possibilities), Innovate (solutions), Navigate(waters), Activate(steps)
  • The program is a mental gym. Nirav is my personal coach. Shirzad’s app has the “exercise equipment” for me to practice my PQ reps. The goal is to practice every day at regular intervals for 6 weeks straight along with homework and coaching sessions with Nirav. Practicing the mental gym routines every day is difficult, but necessary. When I am on top of PQ repetitions (reps)…I do extremely well during the day; when I don’t my saboteurs have a field day with me. I am hooked on the program, and I continue practicing every day. Now that I know the program works, I am digging deep into the neuro-scientific basis that the program is founded on.
  • The mobile app that Nirav uses to deliver content and practice sessions from Shirzad Chamine is world-class, with a level of efficacy that I have rarely seen in similar apps.
  • Nirav is empathetic, yet holds me accountable. During my tougher days, he is there to encourage me. During my Sage days, he celebrates my accomplishments. His own mental fitness models the message of PQ, and thus I find myself opening up and accepting his coaching more readily than I anticipated.
  • I highly recommend Nirav to anybody who wants to raise their professional performance and improve their personal life.
  • Here is more information about Nirav and his services. If you have questions about my experience, please contact me.
