Course overview

Transformation You Can Expect

Humane Intelligence (HQ) is your ability to lead with clarity, integrity, and adaptability in an age of AI and accelerating complexity. It’s beyond IQ and EQ, it’s your capacity to understand and shape intelligence in all its forms: human, artificial, and organizational.


HQ helps you understand the evolving relationship between human and artificial intelligence and interactions, build systems to navigate complexity, and develop operating principles to guide ethical, effective leadership now and into the future.


This course transforms reactive leaders into adaptive ones. You’ll gain practical tools, personal operating principles, and the systems thinking needed to navigate complexity and lead with foresight. By the end, you won’t just maintain your HQ—you'll elevate it and become a force for humane intelligence across your teams and ecosystems.

02

CxOs and senior managers looking to future-proof their leadership

03

Heidi Hysell

Heidi Hysell

I’m a Techstars-backed and Nvidia Inception founder with 20+ years in emerging tech, venture building, and responsible AI. I’ve led AI trust and safety with my startup and partners like AWS, Intel, and the Embodied AI Foundation to benchmark autonomous systems in the past.

At present, through Tomorrow Mornings, I’ve focused on the rise of AI agents in the workforce—working with Future Insights, a council of fractional CxOs, to shape how teams and leaders prepare for what’s next.

I built this session to help professionals not just keep up with AI—but lead with it. If you want to create value, stay rooted and in control of your future, this is where you begin.
