The Mental Fitness Lab — Individual or Intact Team

Mental Fitness · 04 Choose · FOUNDATION

A report tells you where you stand. The program is where it holds.

What it produces: stronger self-command under pressure, better judgment, more constructive leadership behavior and stronger team interaction — held long enough to show up in results. It starts with one thirty-minute interpretation conversation on your reading and the system around you.

Building Mental Fitness

→ The Mental Fitness Lab

The offering is the capability. The Lab is where it is built.

Building Mental Fitness is the proposition: judgment under pressure, measured and trained. The Mental Fitness Lab is the facilitated cohort experience — individual or intact team — through which a participant assesses, learns, practices, applies and sustains it, with one system change chartered alongside the practice.

Eight weeks of foundation plus four weeks of application, one 90-minute session a week, about ten minutes of practice a day. PQ® and Positive Intelligence® are the licensed instruments inside the Lab; the interpretation and the enterprise work are Compass.

How the Lab runs

Two ways to take it on.

Participants build the same core capabilities either way. It begins as an eight-week foundation, then moves into a four-week application phase: a minimum of 12 weeks at $1,500 for the whole engagement, including app access for one year . Sessions run in person or online.

is the structured experience inside Building Mental Fitness : a small cohort that goes through the material together — an executive team, an intact sports team, a manufacturing cell, or a mixed group of individuals. It adds structured accountability, shared practice and peer learning. It is not a separate Compass product.

Option one

Individual

One leader, alone or inside a mixed peer cohort. The work is their own judgment under pressure, read against the demands of the role they actually hold.

The system change shipped with it: one named change to how the leader's own decisions are made — decision rights, a standard, or a cadence — with an owner and a review date.

Option two

Intact team

The leadership team as the team it actually is. Paired with the team reading .

The system change shipped with it: a written working agreement plus one change to decision rights, standards or cadence, held in the Compass delivery record.

The rule Compass holds

Awareness is not an intervention. Every Mental Fitness engagement ships a system change alongside the practice — decision rights, standards, cadence or role clarity — or the insight decays.

8 weeks

The eight-week foundation cohort

One 90-minute virtual session each week

The cohort begins as an eight-week foundation. Members meet virtually once per week for ninety minutes, work through a one-hour video released each Friday, and complete roughly ten minutes of daily practice in the Positive Intelligence app.

4 weeks

The four-week application phase

One session each week, applied to live decisions

After the eight-week foundation, the cohort spends four weeks applying the practice to live decisions and team interactions. The system change chartered in the foundation phase is reviewed, refined and carried forward with evidence.

• Weekly session One 90-minute virtual cohort meeting.
• Fridays A new one-hour video is released for the week.
• Daily About 10 minutes of guided practice in the PQ app.
• · Daily guided reps, timed on screen
• · A weekly video and focus for each of the eight weeks
• · Saboteur library and personal progress history

Compass FOUNDATION

Where mental fitness sits in the operating system.

Mental fitness is not a wellbeing program. It is measured interference in executive judgment. Compass Mental Fitness is a capability inside FOUNDATION — one layer of the architecture Compass installs, held to the same evidence standard as every other layer.

Why it comes first

Mental fitness underwrites the whole architecture. Every discipline — SIMPLIFY, LEAD, GROW, ARC™ — is executed by leaders under pressure, so the quality of judgment at FOUNDATION sets the ceiling on everything built above it.

Catch the saboteur — the Judge first — then move forward with curiosity and empathy rather than the reaction that arrived first.

Compass is an enterprise operating architecture firm. We exist because most organizations are not broken — they have outgrown the design that made them successful. The work is architect-led, integrated, evidence-based, and built to transfer. Compass leaves business architects, not dependency.

Some of these words are licensed method names and some are Compass delivery terms. None of them should cost you a minute of interpretation.
