Leadership Development and Selection for HR Executives

HR Leaders-We Partner With You

Are You Ready to Experience Leadership Transformation?

Developing Leaders Who Lead with Charisma and Influence

Influens is a leadership development and selection firm led by Dr. RB Hernández, President and licensed psychologist, along with his team of experts. Since 2018, we have partnered with HR executives to identify, assess, and develop high-potential leaders who create measurable impact through authentic charisma and strategic influence.

Who We Are
Our Approach

We combine the science of psychology with the power of data analytics and AI to deliver precise, evidence-based leadership programs. Using 360-degree feedback, psychometric assessments, and proprietary algorithms, we build emotionally intelligent leaders with the EQ and executive presence to drive organizational results.

  • Customized, empirically validated evaluation of high-potential talent across leadership success factors tailored to the organization’s needs

  • Quantifies competency proficiency versus tailored benchmarks of success in the client organization across specific factors spanning skills, mindsets, and behaviors.

  • Assesses stress levels and inclusivity barriers inhibiting participant advancement.

  • Concrete analytics quantifying transition readiness and competency gaps versus subjective speculation

We Assess

  • Our AI-enabled development programs use data from 360-degree feedback and psychometric assessments to create personalized growth journeys that build charisma, executive presence, and strategic influence.

  • A proprietary algorithm matches assessment data to targeted microlearning, coaching, stretch assignments, and other growth opportunities based on the organization's precise needs.

  • Intensive, personalized journeys centered around renewal of purpose, principles-based leadership, destressing techniques, and whole-person enhancement.

  • Virtual and in-person modes prove equally impactful.

How It Works

We listen first. Then our proven 4-step process — Listen, Assess, Develop, Support — builds leaders who inspire, influence, and drive lasting results.

Step 3: Develop

A proprietary algorithm matches assessment data to personalized microlearning, coaching, and stretch assignments that build charisma, EQ, and principled leadership.

Step 4: Support

We provide integrative, ongoing support through AI-assisted analytics, coaching circles, peer communities, and experiential challenges to ensure leaders continue to grow and influence at every level.

Step 1: Listen

We begin by listening. Before any assessment or program design, we take time to deeply understand your organization — its unique leadership challenges, cultural context, and history of what has been tried, what worked, and what didn't. This discovery phase ensures everything we do is tailored, relevant, and built on a foundation of genuine partnership.

Step 2: Assess

We use 360-degree feedback, psychometric assessments, and AI-powered analytics to build a precise picture of each leader's strengths, gaps, and development priorities.

I went through the Influens leadership development training, which was a huge catalyst for my personal career trajectory.

I told the HR VP the added value that having you in the training and offering that coaching gave the participants.

Thanks, Dr. Hernandez. I have gone back to reference my EQ360 report and used your presentation notes quite often. That was a great program that helped me launch into more effective approaches here.

Thank you for an extraordinary session. I hope to meet again, it's been a pleasure.

I found the session to be valuable when you provided the feedback and I would like to do it with others.

Working with you and learning from you is a real benefit for all leaders! And I fully agree that the human element makes all the difference.
