HPS Offers Certification on EQ-i®, the First Scientifically Validated Measure of Emotional Intelligence

Research indicates that Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a key determinant of one's success in life -- even more so than IQ. The most successful leaders are adept at balancing their knowledge and experience with EI skills. A smart leader who is not able to work with and through other people will not be effective.
