I have been experiencing some challenges recently in my business and personal life and I have been looking for something to help me regain my focus. This is exactly what I have been looking for.
The tools in this book are simple yet have had a tremendous impact on my personal and professional life. I was able to have a productive conversation with my son tonight by focusing on my sage voice and quieting the saboteurs. He opened up to me and I was able to guide him without him feeling judged.
The impact on my professional life has been just as amazing. I sell real estate and the challenges in the market have really brought out the worst in everyone. I can see how my low PQ (positive intelligence score) has a tendency to bring out the judge saboteur in my clients and prospects. This past week as I met with new prospects and spoke with my clients, I was able to truly listen from a sage perspective and connect with them on a deeper level. Now, instead of trying to convince them, we are working together to find solutions where everyone wins. I have been able to get a yes on each of my last 7 presentations. Prior to reading this book, I was listing about 50% of my presentations.
I have already recommended this book to some co-workers and as soon as it is published, I plan on buying it for each of my children. Thank you for teaching this concept so simply and effectively. This will be a staple on my short list of resource books.

I appreciated the first half of the book more then the later half.
The reflection of your own ‚Saboteurs‘ in the beginning definitely got me thinking, and I have noticed that I can now see them in my daily life and call them out on their BS. It gives light to that all of our thinking is not the truth!
In addition to that, I loved the sage power explanations, pq practices and the „Stallion Story“ about perspectives continuously rings in my ears!
In the later half, while I understand it was to validate his theory and being his point across practically, I found it too repetitive and borderline eye rollingly infuriating.
All the case studies were in a similar format! Here is a CEO that didn’t believe in PQ but agreed to do the reps, then saw change and got their team to do the same, and then it goes on how the team follows the guidelines of the sage powers etc etc and I probably am exaggerating, but I felt like there were 10 case following these same lines. It didn’t feel relatable to me (even though the says it is the same principle in personal life), I still felt the examples felt distant.
