The Human Advantage: Build Skills AI Can’t Replace

Artificial intelligence is transforming work faster than most organizations can adapt. Automation can process data, optimize workflows, and even write code—but it cannot build trust, motivate people, or make ethical decisions under pressure.


That’s the Human Gap—the space between what machines can calculate and what humans must feel, interpret, and decide.

This course closes that gap.

If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing your emotional responses at work—wondering whether you’re being too reactive, too detached, or too overwhelmed by the pace of change—you’re not alone.
The problem isn’t that you lack emotional intelligence; it’s that you’ve never been taught to practice it as a hard ability—a measurable, trainable skill rooted in neuroscience.

By the end of this course, emotional intelligence (EI) won’t just make sense—you’ll have a science-backed framework and mental model to apply it with clarity, confidence, and consistency in real life.

What you’ll learn

AI hacks, consciously coded workflows and science-backed EI abilities that let you perform ethically without breaking.

  • Spot emotional patterns that affect trust, decisions, and innovation—then apply strategies to correct blind spots and build safety.

  • Identify strategies to minimize bias, maximize trust, increase critical & creative thinking skills to create safety and high performance,

  • Develop daily habits that help you manage stress.

  • Avoid continuous burnout circles and stay emotionally grounded while leading through rapid change.

  • Learn how to create your own Emotional Maths® Blueprint based on personalized case studies

  • Design emotionally intelligent responses that integrate emotional regulation, reduce tension, and drive better outcomes with AI and humans

    Interim CEO
  • I was really interested to learn more about my own Emotional Intelligence, and the fact that this was backed by science intrigued me. Having a facilitator go through the assessment was key. It unlocked things I didn’t know and others I didn’t know I knew. It helps us understand ourselves and interact with others with more intention.

    Gary Padmore

    Vice President, Education and Community Engagement
  • The assessment and feedback session gave me a lot to consider about myself — and more specifically, gave me language to distinguish the difference between my personality traits and my emotional intelligence skills. As a facilitator, it’s powerful for me to be able to articulate and harness my unique skills (that are crucial, not at all soft!).
