2019-12-30 Margaret Morgan Maat, change leadership coach and facilitator Ignite the Change Houston, TX,The certification course led by Ed Hennessy was very effective in getting me ready to take the certification exam. Ed led us through interactive exercises on the virtual class that kept us engaged and allowed us to learn from one another. The materials were supportive of the learning goals. I can highly recommend this virtual course as a time-effective way to obtain one’s certification in the midst of a busy consultant’s week.
2019-12-18 Mark Bolduc, Utility Business & Customer Manager, Ed and Chris Hennessy are both very professional and provide a great workshop. They provided an excellent set of training materials, that were well organized and consolidated into a nice binder for ease of use. The online portion of the training was also well organized, and the breakout sessions were a key element to the success being able to use what Ed presented in a real-time role play with other trainees was great! The pace, examples and feedback were all excellent. Technology is a great thing when it all works as designed and this workshop was a perfect example of that. Thank you, Ed and Chris, for doing a fine job guiding me and my classmates through this program. I confidently recommend this program for anyone that is considering joining the ranks of EQ-i 2.0 & EQ360 Certified Practitioners.
2019-11-25 Dean Griess, Managing Director-Learning Delivery, large financial institution, The virtual session was very well facilitated and engaging. Ed’s content knowledge was very insightful and he was able to provide relevant examples. After two days, I was set up to succeed to utilize the EQi methodology
2019-11-20 Maria Glenn Executive Coach, As an executive and leadership coach for the past ten years, I have utilized an assortment of the popular assessments in the industry. Out of all of them, I find EQ-i 2.0 provides the most valuable information to the client. This instrument is all about how the leader shows up and the positive influence he/she has on the organizational system. With just 2-3 key takeaways, a leader walks away with the ability to have a huge impact; success invariably follows.
2019-10-31 Cheryl Pope Owner/Consultant, Ed and Chris at Leadership Call did a great job with the EQ-i 2.0 certification online workshop. It was extremely easy to enroll, the materials and pre-work were clear and the entire process went smoothly. I had never done a virtual training before and was a little skeptical at first. In reality it provided me with a more customized training experience because of the size of the group and detailed attention from the facilitator.
2019-09-26 Kelli Swanson, Manager,Leadership Call offered an excellent 2-day training course, from the very beginning introduction to the deep dive conversations about professional development strategies. The limited size of the group (9-10) was the right size for meaningful conversations and receiving input from everybody. I enjoyed being able to hear the perspectives of all attendees, because each of our intended purpose for using the EQ-i 2.0 tools differed. The class challenged me but didn’t intimidate me. Ed and Chris continually reminded the group that it was “ok to be new,” creating a safe place to practice our newly gained knowledge. It was a fun, valuable experience!
2019-08-29 Stephen Clements, Senior Manager, Accenture (Ireland), From the moment I booked my EQ-i 2.0 Certification place with Leadership Call, Ed & Chris were superb. Materials and information promptly sent, my own 1-1 debrief quickly arranged and it all went seamlessly. The two days training with Ed was excellent. Ed is clearly knowledgeable with the EQ-i 2.0 model and beautifully balances the theory with sharing practical ways to interpret and debrief a client. Leaving the training, I felt I was armed with enough info to feel that I could jump straight in and do a debrief.
2019-08-19 Ella Holst, Curriculum Designer, I was impressed with both the design and the delivery of this course. It can be difficult to maintain engagement in a virtual environment but the hands-on exercises, the ability to work collaboratively with my entire group, and the energy of the facilitators kept everyone on their toes and actively learning. In addition, the real-world experience that Ed and Chris bring to the classroom infuses the course with practical insights into the role of an EQ-i coach.
2019-08-16 Karen Meadows, MSN, RN, Assistant Director, It was an excellent course and I am glad to have had the opportunity to participate in this virtual workshop. Excellent presentation skills and knowledge of the virtual classroom setting. Great examples. Thank you for an interesting and informative session. Good job!!
2019-08-06 Keith Davis, U.S. Navy, Ed and Chris are an amazing team, knowledgeable, and professional. They made the experience not only educational, but also entertaining, fun, and personable!
2019-08-06 Glenn Reible – Principal – Performance Advisor, Organizational Performance Advisors The workshop content was very interesting to me. There are a few moving parts to the model however Ed was able to break down the topics in a way that made the information and application very clear. I have already recommended this workshop to several colleagues. The materials and collaterals were Outstanding! I was thoroughly impressed with the organization, quality and ease to access and use during the workshop. I really appreciated the flexibility and responsiveness Chris offered coordinating to connect on the debrief which Ed is a self-evident master at delivering. Ed’s ability to facilitate the workshop with hands on activities, sharing real world examples along with explaining the why behind the what we were doing really demonstrated Ed’s breadth & depth of knowledge along with a high degree of care for the participants. Chris, thank you for your self-evident hard work and organization. Looking forward to being part of the Leadership Call community.
2019-07-23 Soo Masini VP/Sr. HR Business Partner I first heard about EQ during my undergad studies and it was something I’ve always been interested in. When this opportunity to get EQ-i Certified arose I jumped at the opportunity. As an HR professional, this resource ,will eventually become part of our organizations HR strategy for success. Our instructor Ed, was fantastic and we had a great time in our group breakout sessions.
2019-07-23 Janina Hamner Holman, CEO J & J Consulting Group, LLC Ed, Chris and Leadership Call are amazing trainers and a terrific resource. I heard about them through ATD (Association for Talent Development) and wasn’t really sure what to expect. I was blown away by the depth of the information shares as well as the applicability for my consulting business. I can’t wait to bring this opportunity to my clients to assist them with better understanding how they cope with challenges, how they can improve organizational decision making, and the prospect of deepening trust throughout their organizations
2019-6-1 William Halbleib, PhD, PhD, Phoenix Consulting & Coaching Impressive training; lots of great examples with the materials; Ed, our instructor, is very knowledgeable and very facilitative in his training methods. It was great being able to work through case studies with other members of the class; it helped us get to know each other and to see another perspective. I would highly recommend this course for anyone thinking of becoming a certified to administer the EQ-i 2.0 and the EQ-360. Although I am a clinical psychologist and have courses in assessments and measurements and could have been certified without taking the course, I am very glad I did.
2019-5-24 Evangelia Hammonds, LCSW This EQ-i 2.0 & EQ 360 Certification Workshop was by far the most professional and productive training I have attended in a very long time
2019-3-15 Jeff Mariola, Chief Development Officer at Mariola Unlimited, Chicago, IL Ed was able to crystalize a lot of technical information into small enough amounts to thoroughly digest and retain. Despite Ed’s deep understanding of the EQ-i 2.0 material he was able to understand our limitations and train accordingly. Chris’s administrative skills and customer service skills are world class. Ed’s a pro but he never made you feel as if you are just beginning to understand the material.

2018-12-20 Kristin Davin, Psy. D Through his expertise, invaluable knowledge, and skills, Ed provided an amazing hands-on and interactive EQ-i 2.0 Certification training. We were able to interact with the other participants which helped provide useful tools and insight to become more proficient using both the EQ-i 2.0 and the EQ360. I have never had any experience using either of these assessments, but following this certification, feel confident in my ability to take it to the next step and start to integrate this into my practice.

2018-9-19 Allen H. SrPM The Beck Group Ed and Chris are pros all the way in everything EQ. The preparation work, Ed’s phone call review of my EQ assessment, and the 2-day classroom instruction was better and more thorough than I had expected. In addition, the added materials that they provide, during the class and follow-up after certification was a huge, unexpected bonus….. very empowering.
2018-9-18 Tara Jaye Frank, TJF Career Modeling LLC I’ve always been a believer in emotional intelligence as a leadership differentiator, but the EQ-i certification process turned passion into practical application. I can now offer clients more than my business experience and insight – I can offer them a reliable tool to better understand, use, and develop emotional intelligence to make their businesses better.
