The Power of Emotional Intelligence & How It Can Transform Your Business

This week I sit down with Melissa Mellor, the CEO at Hey U Human, a mental health and human wellness company. We dig in to the power of emotional intelligence and how mental health for you and your team can set you up for incredible success personally and professionally.

About:

Melissa Mellor is the CEO of Hey U Human globally recognized mental health and human wellness company. They serve corporations and individuals in over 80 countries around the world and within over 15 different applications. Hey U Human truly does business differently – in every aspect of the meaning. From hiring + pay to how they sell and lead their team and support their human development in a vastly different way. Most notably, Melissa + the Hey U Human Founder, Sara Longoria, recently walked away from a business model that acted like a ‘cash machine’ and did a massive pivot in how they conducted business. One day, they realized how their marketing efforts hijacked people's dopamine and created a “FOMO” and lack addiction that forces them to spend money. They were communicating only to people who had the luxury of disposable income and wanted their work to get into the hands of the masses. So they launched Hey U Human and changed everything about how they do business.

When you think of the ‘workplace of the future’ Hey U Human is the epitome of it. Through Hey U Human, Melissa is revolutionizing leadership and how businesses conduct work and lead their staff. Melissa is passionate about igniting humanity, waking humans up, and helping infrastructures and institutions understand mental health and human wellness through a completely different lens. A lens through which the company is no longer reacting to mental health issues and pandering to personnel complaints. One that proactively engages the whole human to create an unstoppable workforce. If you are a human with emotions, or you interact with other humans with emotions, you will want to tune into this podcast.
