Building Exceptional Leaders. Transforming Organizations.
IHHP is a research-based training company with over twenty years as a leader in Emotional Intelligence.

It’s a scientific fact that emotions precede thought. When emotions run high, they change the way our brains function, diminishing our cognitive abilities, decision-making powers and our interpersonal skills. Our programs provide the tools to create a culture of trust and integrity, delivering high engagement based on alignment, clarity and safety. Leadership teams often lack the most important ingredient to building this type of organization: Emotional Intelligence.

Teams skilled in emotional intelligence support one another as they navigate change. They are able to listen and collaborate effectively, without judgment and draw on the strengths and ideas of everyone. They have the courage and freedom to act without fear and are more open to new perspectives, viewing failure as an opportunity to iterate, learn and imagine new possibilities. This creates an environment that promotes creativity and innovation.

How IHHP Helps
We build integrated programs with training, assessments and coaching based on neuroscience for real change. We translate the science behind managing emotions and teach people the skills to summon their best selves and do their best work during moments of truth. Our core curriculum has three main components: The Science of Emotional Intelligence, Performing Under Pressure and The Three Conversations of Leadership.
