SAN DIEGO, CA — TalentSmartEQ, the leading provider of emotional intelligence (EQ) solutions, today announced the launch of its new Sustainment Suite for the Mastering Emotional Intelligence® Level 1 program—designed to extend learning beyond the classroom and drive lasting behavior change and impact.
While emotional intelligence is widely recognized as a critical driver of performance, many development programs fall short when it comes to long-term impact. TalentSmartEQ’s new Sustainment Suite addresses this gap by providing a structured system of reinforcement, practice, and measurement that ensures EQ skills are applied consistently over time.
“At TalentSmartEQ, we’ve always believed that learning emotional intelligence is just the beginning,” said Josh Rosenthal, Director of Global Portfolio at TalentSmartEQ. “The real value comes from how those skills are applied every day. Our new Sustainment Suite is designed to help organizations move beyond awareness and create meaningful, measurable behavior change.”
Introducing Sustainment Labs: Practice That Drives Performance
At the center of the new Sustainment Suite are Sustainment Labs—a series of five facilitator-led sessions designed to bring participants back together after initial training for guided practice and real-world application.
Each one-hour lab focuses on strengthening one of the four core EQ skills—Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management—followed by a final session to debrief participants’ Emotional Intelligence Appraisal® re-test results and reinforce continued development.
Sustainment Labs provide a structured, repeatable framework for practice, helping participants build confidence and consistency in applying EQ strategies in real workplace situations.
Labs can be delivered virtually or in person, either by TalentSmartEQ master facilitators or by internal certified trainers, making them scalable across organizations.
A Complete System for Sustained Learning
The Sustainment Suite brings together multiple reinforcement components into a single, integrated system, including:
- On-Demand EQ Lessons to reinforce core strategies through engaging, video-based learning
- Strategically Timed Email Nudges to prompt continued reflection and application
- Sustainment Labs for guided, facilitator-led practice sessions
- Sagey™ AI-Powered EQ Coaching for real-time support in the flow of work
- Emotional Intelligence Appraisal® Re-Test to measure growth and demonstrate impact
Together, these elements transform emotional intelligence development from a one-time training event into an ongoing learning journey.
Driving Measurable Impact
Organizations implementing the Sustainment Suite benefit from:
- Increased application of EQ skills in real workplace situations
- Stronger communication, collaboration, and decision-making
- Improved engagement and retention of EQ skills
- Measurable progress and ROI through re-assessment and impact tracking
“Most leadership and EQ programs focus on awareness,” said Howard Farfel, CEO at TalentSmartEQ. “We’ve built a system that ensures those insights translate into action—and ultimately into better results for our clients.”
The Sustainment Suite is now available as part of the Mastering Emotional Intelligence® Level 1 program.
