MENTAL FITNESS BOOT CAMP
Rewire Your Brain In Seven Weeks
Mental fitness is your ability to handle life’s challenges with a positive mindset rather than a negative mindset. Your mental fitness affects EVERYTHING, including your performance, your relationships, and your well-being. Extensive research shows that mental fitness is the best predictor of how happy you’ll be and how well you will perform relative to your potential.
By activating the parts of your brain that help you thrive, you can move toward your goals and aspirations with resonance, rather than resistance. To make the most of this strategy, we identify the saboteurs that are holding you back so you can stop relying so much on the parts of your brain that keep you stuck in survival mode.
This work includes real-world strategies, backed by neuroscience and designed to help you enhance your mental fitness by building three core muscles:
- Saboteur Interceptor Muscle
- Sage Amplifier Muscle
- Self Command Muscle
Learn more about the three mental fitness muscles below.

Saboteur Interceptor
Your saboteurs are the voices in your inner dialogue that beat you up, hold you back, and trigger your negative emotions. They are the source of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, regret, shame, guilt and more. Trying to excel with your saboteurs in charge is like trying to climb a mountain with weights tied to your ankles. Learn more and take the free saboteur assessment to help identify your specific saboteurs.

Sage Amplifier
The sage is the part of you that has access to deep empathy for yourself and others. It is your fountain of creativity and innovation. It seeks meaning and follows resonance. It’s the part of you that can move easily into drama-free, laser-focused inspired action. At its essence, the sage is a perspective that says, “Every situation, no matter how challenging, can be converted to a gift or opportunity.” The sage is the voice of optimism.
Self
Command
Muscle

Self Command
Over our lifetimes, we tend to build habits of thought and well-worn neural pathways that favor the saboteur response to situations. But because of neuroplasticity, we’re able to re-wire the brain and build up gray matter where it’s needed to support the sage response to even the greatest challenges. Using innovative “do anywhere” exercises, you’ll learn how to run your brain rather than allowing your saboteur-hijacked brain to run you.
Mental Fitness Boot Camp
Brain Training For The Real World
Your initial insights about mental fitness may be exciting, but the research shows that the impact will decline quickly if not reinforced with consistent practice. Mental Fitness Boot Camp supports the daily muscle-building that's required for a significant and lasting change in your mindset and in the wiring of your brain.
Delivered by certified PQ Coach™ Wendy McManus, the POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE® program combines weekly training videos and daily app-guided exercises to boost your performance, relationships, and well-being. A weekly small-group coaching session helps maintain your enthusiasm and commitment throughout the entire 7-week period.
The Mental Fitness Boot Camp from Connect 2 Potential is the best way to quickly rewire your brain so you can reach your most important goals.
How It Works
Weekly Focus and Video Training
Weekly hour-long video delivers deep experiential exploration of the week’s focus. You’ll feel inspired and energized to practice during the week in order to sustain the benefits experienced during the video sessions.
Daily Practice
15 minutes/day of app-guided practice enables you to establish mental muscles (neural pathways). These exercises are bite-sized to fit your busy schedule and customized based on how you self-sabotage.
Measurable Progress
You’ll feel motivated through instant feedback on exactly how much progress you’re making towards building the 3 core muscles of mental fitness. Brain rewiring may be visible in MRI imaging within 8 weeks.
Weekly Pod Coaching Call
Research has shown that participants who go through this program with a small supportive group have a 500% greater success rate. We call this a pod approach and it will both deepen your learning and increase the likelihood that you’ll stick with the boot camp. Wendy will facilitate the seven weekly pod calls, where you’ll have the chance to reflect on your practice and ask questions.
One-To-One Coaching
Take a deeper dive on any concept from the Mental Fitness Boot Camp in a one-to-one coaching call with Wendy. This call can be scheduled any time during the 7-week program or within 30 days after the program close. This personal attention can be especially useful in trying to understand the impact of your strongest saboteur on your work and your personal life.
YOUR BOOT CAMP JOURNEY
Week 1
Self-Command Muscle
Through a breakthrough process called PQ Reps, you get to boost your Self-Command muscle. Each PQ Rep only takes 10 seconds and can be done with eyes open or closed. With each PQ Rep, you develop greater mastery over your own mind, quiet the negative, and activate the positive region of your brain.
Week 2-3
Saboteur Interceptor Muscle
You get to intercept your top Saboteurs the moment they try to hijack your thoughts, feelings, and actions. In preparation for this practice, you get to expose the lies, limiting beliefs and damage of your Saboteurs, so they can no longer fool you into thinking they are helpful to you.
Week 4-7
Sage Amplifier Muscle
You get to practice the Sage Perspective that every problem or challenge can be converted into a gift and opportunity. And you get to generate the gift through the 5 Sage Powers of Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate.
What Others Say About the Mental Fitness Boot Camp
Why Should You Do This Now?
We’re all under tremendous stress. The environment at work and at home seems to shift daily. Relationships are stretched to the breaking point. The demands on both leaders and front-line team members have never been greater.
It may feel like you couldn’t possibly add one more thing to your calendar.
But consider this.
In the most important races of their lives, drivers come to a complete stop to change their tires. If they skipped that pit stop, they would surely spin out and crash before the race was over.
What is the equivalent of a spin-out in your life? What happens when the stress mounts and you get hijacked by your saboteurs during a high-profile meeting or an important discussion with your spouse?
That’s exactly why it’s important to build your mental fitness right now, in the midst of the stress and uncertainty. Think of the Mental Fitness Boot Camp as the pit stop that could keep you from spinning out and crashing.
In fact, this program would not be very effective if done while on a relaxing 6-week vacation. It’s best to learn and practice these skills in the laboratory of your normal, stressful, busy life.

Make it a Group Experience or Not - It’s Your Choice
Most people report that going through the 7-week program with a small pod of others who are on the same journey at the same time enhances their experience of it. In fact, the data shows a 500% increase in the completion rate for those in a group versus those who go it alone. Wendy puts pods together as participants enroll.
Some of the most successful pods are made up of co-workers, family members, or friends. This can be a great way for you to grow together with important people in your life. Through the Mental Fitness Boot Camp, the group will gain a shared vocabulary and a new way to support each other. If you wish to have specific people in your pod, just let Wendy know after you enroll.
If you truly do not want to be in a group for the Mental Fitness Boot Camp, that is an option. Wendy will meet with you once per week for 15 to 20 minutes, so you won’t be entirely on your own.
Mental Fitness for Your Team
Some of the most exciting success stories from the Mental Fitness Boot Camp have been from leaders who brought their teams through the program.
Each person on the team watches the weekly videos and does the daily app-guided exercises. Once a week the team meets with Wendy to reflect and deepen their learning. The mental fitness framework creates a shared vocabulary that allows the team to communicate more effectively than ever before.
Each individual comes to understand their own saboteurs and those of their co-workers. They learn how to tap into their individual and collective sage energies, which results in higher levels of innovation, cooperation, and productivity.
Additional sessions before and after the core 7-week program ensure that all participants are fully on board, and that the group can incorporate what they've learned in the team culture long after the program ends. Contact Wendy to discuss team or group pricing for the Mental Fitness Boot Camp.
