How to Introduce Emotional Intelligence to Your Organization
It is now easier than ever to introduce EQ training to your organization or your clients. Here is why and how to do it:
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is one of the most popular topics in the training field today. It achieved the prestigious status of becoming a Time magazine cover story.
Research has shown that EQ is more of a determinant of a person’s ability to succeed in a leadership position at work than IQ. Unlike IQ, EQ can be increased with training and development. That is the reason EQ training is becoming one of the key programs in many organizations in the US and is increasingly becoming popular abroad.
HumaNext has established itself as one of the most innovative training companies since its inception in 2002, achieving rapid recognition and growth. HumaNext now offers training programs in all media, in the most critical topics for today’s organizations.
Our powerful "Applying Emotional Intelligence at Work" workshop is unparallel in its breadth, depth, and practicality. Trainers and consultants from organizations in the US and around the world have been certified by HumaNext to deliver our powerful workshops, including Applying EQ at Work.
The easiest way to introduce emotional intelligence to your organization or clients is to get certified by HumaNext and receive everything you need to deliver our powerful program yourself. Details are on this page.
To Learn a Topic, You Must Teach It: You Can Do It with Heart & Mind Learning at HumaNext 2013
It has been said that the best way to learn a subject is to teach it. But nobody in the training field effectively applied this principle, until HumaNext created Heart & Mind Learning with a “Learning By Teaching” approach. In HumaNext events, participants may choose to present short segments of the content to their colleagues. Here is what it does:
It helps participants present themselves as both learners and teachers who have something useful and unique to offer. This has a tremendously positive effect on participants which facilitates learning.
It brings a rich diversity of viewpoints and experiences as participants bring their ideas and experiences to integrate into the content.
It gives people who have limited teaching experience great confidence in their ability to teach others as they do it as learners in a supportive environment.
It helps participants get to know each other on many levels, which facilitates learning together.
Here is what a participant in one of our certification events, where we used Heart & Mind Learning, wrote to all participants: "I never shared with you how meaningful the New York experience was for me. Listening to you all and learning from you has changed the way I see the world, and helped me to build a vision far greater than I'd ever imagined. Thank you for generously sharing your stories and yourselves. It means more to me than you know. - Holly McLemore, Training Manager
The Executive Coaching Program Director of the US Army wrote the following about the three day certification program he attended:
I have weaved some of the concepts (of the training) into what I am doing here at the Army... Francois leads his 'Applying Emotional Intelligence' class with a highly effective mixture of kindness, compassion and expertise. He creates and nurtures a cooperative and cohesive classroom environment, where participants are motivated to use their collective synergy to find solutions to their unique challenges."
- Andy Kirkpatrick, CERDEC Executive Coaching Program Director Employee Resources Services US Army
What Participants Said About Our Training Events Using Heart & Mind Learning
I definitely felt as though I was taking part in something very special during the last three days. I left the training inspired and energized, and looking forward to using the tools. Thank you for making the training so impactful for me. - Amy Jaffe Barzac, Co-founder, Boundless Playgrounds.
You were all so impressive and inspiring, and the materials so interesting. Thank you for sharing your spirits so freely! - Rick Richard Hammett, Full Time Doctoral Student & Graduate Assistant, Texas A&M University.
Francois, Thank you so much for the wonderful class which I will never forget. It was one of the most rewarding classes that I have taken. I look forward to collaborations with the great people I met at the class and a rewarding relationship with HumanNext. - Bobbi Ball, Executive Director, Partners in Community Building, Chicago.
Even experienced consultants and senior executives who have been giving workshops on emotional intelligence for years were impressed by the superior content of our EQ training. Here is one testimonial.

A Letter from one HumaNext Certified Affiliate a few weeks after certification:
"I had my first run of the Applying EQ at Work seminar with the management team of Samsung (a multinational Korean firm here in the Philippine with 4000 employees). The 2 day seminar worked really fine and they all left with so many "take home benefits" from it. This was evidenced by the evaluation they had on me as the speaker and about the design of the seminar and contents." - Ging Igual, Consultant, Philippine

ESAP-C The Online Emotional Skills Assessment Process
Our EQ Certification includes the use and interpretation of a powerful assessment tool:
It offers 77 self-report items to provide specific measures of emotional skills that contribute strongly to personal achievement and better relationships in and off the workplace.
What Is Unique About HumaNext Events and Certification?
It is the only certification process that gives you the opportunity to certify in more than one topic / workshop in the same event, giving you high value at low cost in a short time. This way, you can start or expand your own training business by offering up to three workshops to your clients the day after you complete your certification.
It is the only program that offers you complete materials, tools, and delivery documents to help you design and deliver great training on any topic, using our “Heart & Mind Learning” methodology.
Our certification programs, inclusing Emotional Intelligence certification, are not based on or revolve around an assessment tool, as are most other EQ certifications, where you basically get trained to use their assessment instrument. We do offer two EQ assessment options, but we also offer complete workshops you can deliver without using any assessments if you so choose.
We don’t require you to buy Participants Workbooks from us, or any other materials or products, nor do we take commission or fees from you every time you deliver our programs, as some vendors do.
Some of the world’s best organizations have sent their people to attend HumaNext events and got certified to deliver our workshops, from the Mayo Clinic and the US Army in the United States, to organizations and consultants in Canada, Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe.
We keep our fee for the three workshops significantly lower than what others charge for one topic.

Do you think with your left brain or your right brain? The answer will help you understand how you, and your colleagues or all employees, think and as a result how to communicate effectively with them.
"The great pleasure and feeling in my right brain is more than my left brain can find the words to tell you," said Roger Sperry who came up with the split-brain theory. Sperry received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1981 for his discoveries of the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres. It showed that the left and right hemispheres are specialized in different tasks. The left side of the brain is specialized in taking care of the analytical and verbal tasks, while the right half takes care of the space perception tasks and music. The right hemisphere can only produce rudimentary words and phrases, but contributes emotional context to language. In our Creativity workshops, we teach people how they can become more creative and effective by using both sides of their brains in generating, evaluating, and implementing new ideas and innovative initiatives.
Research on the more recent topic of emotional intelligence provided more insights on how people think and feel. Emotions are more related to the older parts of the human brain and are instinctive, while logical thinking came in the later part of human development. Because of this older connection with emotions, people are moved more by emotions than by logic. No wonder advertisements are generally designed to touch people’s emotions, not brains. In communicating with colleagues or all employees it would be a mistake to focus only on data and logic and ignore people’s emotions.
“You Must Become the Change” Is One of” Heart & Mind Learning” Principles You Will Experience at HumaNext Events
While learning our workshops' topics, you will also be experiencing our unique “Hear & Mind Learning" methodology. It is a methodology that turns ordinary training sessions into great learning experiences. Heart & Mind Learning is based on the following discoveries:
If you don’t arouse the heart, you can’t engage the mind.
If you don’t offer inspiration, you will waste the information.
People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
Heart & Mind Learning involves a number or powerful insights we use in designing and delivering our learning experiences, which you will be able to use by getting the complete files and slides that enable you to create great training. These insights include:
What people focus on becomes their reality: We invite people to shift their focus from the problems they want to fix to the bigger picture of the exciting future they want to create for themselves and the organization.
Taking the best of the past to the future: The most confident way for people to move to the future is to carry forward the best parts of the past.
Become the Change: We invite participants to adopt Gandhi's principle, "We must become the change we want to see in the world."
Erring on the side of hope: We hold the belief, supported by research, that the state of being hopeful is one of the key marks of emotional intelligence and effective performance.
Learning by Teaching: We involve participants in facilitating segments of the workshop based on the idea that “the best way to learn a subject is to teach it.”
These are just a few of the powerful concepts of Heart & Mind Learning, which you will learn to apply as part of your certification, enabling you to design and deliver great training on any soft skill topic.
