Dr. Haniyeh Yousofpour was a superstar as a facilitator. Her years of research, her depth of understanding of human behaviours, and her ability to present the subject in such an interesting way produced one of the most memorable sessions in our program history. I personally appreciated her approach to anticipating and handling differing perspectives and personalities. The subject of Emotional Intelligence intrigues me, and it was quite fun to see the interest reflected among the 80+ people in the room.

It might sound like an exaggeration, but collaborating with Dr. Haniyeh Yousofpour from Leonnova was absolutely the very best business decision I ever made. Her guidance and professionalism helped us implement a successful project management and risk presentation process as we conducted a massive software conversion project- the largest of its kind in Canada- that came in on time and under budget. Without her, the project would have been a disaster.
