LEADERSHIP EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE GROUP COACHING PROGRAM

Awareness is the Spark.
Integration is the Engine.

You’ve done the self-reflection. Now make it usable. This 5-week cohort helps leaders translate emotional intelligence into real-world behaviors—communication, resilience, presence, and decision-making confidence—of high-performance leadership.

Founding Cohort Begins: Tuesday, April 7, 2026 @ 4:00-5:30pm CT, meeting weekly for 5 weeks | Limited to 12 Leaders

Who This Program Is Built For

Leaders who don’t want “interesting insights.” You want repeatable emotional intelligence practices that show up in meetings, conflict, and pressure.

High-capacity leaders under pressure

You’re carrying a lot—and you want steadier self-management, less reactivity, and more clarity when things get intense.

Managers shaping team culture

You want more trust, fewer misunderstandings, and a stronger feedback culture—without turning every conversation into a therapy session.

Leaders who’ve taken an assessment

You already have awareness. Now you want a plan to integrate it into day-to-day leadership decisions and relationships.

This Program Is Not For You If…

A quick filter to make sure this is the right fit—and that you get real value from your time.

If you’re ready for committed practice, structure, and support—this is exactly what this cohort was built for.

The High-Capacity Leader's Silent Struggle

Awareness without integration creates stagnation. Many leaders receive assessment results and stop there—aware, but not activated. This Emotional Intelligence group coaching program closes the gap between knowing and doing.

“A missed emotional cue becomes a misunderstanding that quietly erodes trust.”
“A stressful moment turns into a reactive conversation that lingers.”

We’ll move you from noticing patterns to mastering responses—so your leadership becomes consistent under pressure.

The ROI of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership:

What You'll Walk Away With

Tools for feedback, boundary-setting, repair, and conflict navigation—without sacrificing connection or clarity.

Better "read" on others

Improve your accuracy with emotional cues so you reduce misunderstanding—especially in tense moments.

We don’t do fluff. We do practical, evidence-informed interpersonal growth.

"It was amazing. Our leaders really took the time and they were very engaged... They truly got some tools to think about the both idea and concept of burnout and stress management as individuals and also from the perspective of being leaders and taking the tools back to their teams. Thank you to Humessence, and, specifically, John and Julie, for leading such a great workshop."

"Brett brings a wealth of hands-on experience and deep insights when it comes to the topic of leadership. His insights about emotional intelligence, establishing psychological safety, humble leadership, and conversational feedback helped me think more deeply about what it means to lead self and others. I am excited to learn more. Highly recommend. I learned a lot."

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I miss a session?

We highly encourage live attendance to get the most out of the coaching segments and peer discussions. However, we know leadership is unpredictable. All sessions are recorded and uploaded to a private portal within 24 hours so you can catch up before the next week’s deep dive.

You should plan for approximately 2 hours per week:

  • 90 Minutes: Our live, interactive group coaching and training session.

  • 20–30 Minutes: “Fieldwork”—practical, high-leverage EI experiments to try out with your team in real-time.

Yes. Emotional Intelligence is the “universal language” of effective leadership. Whether you are leading a tech team, a manufacturing floor, or a non-profit, the core challenges remain the same: managing stress, building trust, and navigating conflict. Our previous participants come from diverse sectors including healthcare, engineering, and government.

There is a unique power in “The Mirror Effect.” In a group of 12 peers, you’ll realize that the emotional hurdles you face are shared by other high-level leaders. This environment provides a broader range of perspectives, safer “practice” opportunities for difficult conversations, and a built-in network of accountability that 1:1 sessions can’t replicate.

Because we cap each cohort at 12 participants to ensure deep interaction, spots are first-come, first-served. Simply click the “Secure Your Spot” button to complete your registration. Once the 12th spot is taken, registration will automatically close and move to a waitlist for our next cohort.

You’ll receive an immediate confirmation email with your calendar invites. One week before we begin, you’ll receive your “Deep Dive Prep Kit,” which includes instructions on how to bring your Leader EI Assessment results into our first session for analysis.
