Wall of love for Six Seconds

I really appreciate the opportunity to share experiences with our training community, and learn about what is Emotional Intelligence. Being smarter with my feelings！

I only discovered during the webinar that the idea of being a "cheerleader" and a great encourager, though a desirable quality overall, could also be paradoxically a sign that I only look at the bright side to find the positive and repress my feelings.

The unique thing is the level of comfort I feel during the session that I am not being judged. It empowers people through reflective activities and inspire to act upon what people have already been through out the session.

A very engaging way to share real stories while exploring practical applications of the emotional intelligence competencies. Always a "light bulb" moment to be had!

I love to provide valuable feedback. With your program, I'm healing my past multiple traumas. The SELF is the creator of my thoughts, feelings, words, actions, attitude, choices, I'm In-charge. I'm the BOSS of my life, inner world and outer World. I have learned this EQ Principles from my Teacher MATT, He is superb, highly vibrant teacher. He has inspired millions of PPL around the WORLD. He is offering free courses.

Dr Gay Seletswane, Self-Employed Psychologist in Private Practice and Coach. I use EQ Six Seconds in Therapy, Team Effectiveness and Coaching. Training was interactive and reflective and a great learning space. Great insights achieved in how to use the SIX Seconds Tools in navigating emotions and using emotions as data to effect the change we want. I'm excited to be part of the network and look forward to more learning, sharing and support from the community.

I had the opportunity to complete the updated version of Unlocking EQ. It had been about three years since I took Unlocking EQ, so it was refreshing to dive into the information and connect with new people from the network. I find great value in ALL Six Seconds Trainings! I also find value in retaking courses to further develop your skills in EQ and build new connections. I rate this course (and all courses I have enrolled in from Six Seconds) a 10 out of 10!

I'm Laura Mitchell and I teach Bilingual Education to students preparing to be teachers. I love being a part of the Six Seconds Network. I feel like I belong here. I can't tell you why because everyone is so diverse by living in different countries, speaking different languages, and having different traditions. I feel like we are connected because EQ unites us into a virtual and physical space where we can be who we are and respect each other. When I have had a difficult time at the university with colleagues and sometimes, students, I find that Six Seconds brings me back into the space of belonging. I'm grateful and lucky that I can find this space in so many different ways.

My journey of becoming an EQ coach in a nutshell: 

-Identified a need for guidance in regulating emotions after experiencing a setback at work. 

-Reconnected with a friend who was coaching women on emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and finding their authentic path. 

-Learned about emotions, how they serve us and shifted mindset about them. 

-Used journaling as a tool for inner dialogue, gaining clarity into emotions and thoughts, and making better decisions. 

-Practiced "check-ins" and constantly reminded self to "choose again". 

-Learned to understand emotions through the work of Karla McLaren, embracing all emotions without labeling them good or bad. 

-Explored emotional intelligence through further online courses and programs, eventually enrolling in Six Seconds' Certified EQ coach program. 

-Gained deeper self-awareness, became better at communicating, and formed lasting relationships with like-minded people. 

-Connected to a higher purpose of serving to create a better world, one person at a time. 

-Encourage people and organizations to leverage emotional intelligence to lead with clarity and empathy.

Two years ago, I found myself crying at the kitchen table, feeling hopeless and lost after making a mistake at work. It was a simple error, but with a significant impact, and I felt like I was taking all the blame and shame from others. I didn’t have the skillset to regulate my emotions, and I quickly spiraled into despair and powerlessness. The only thing I knew then was that I needed some guidance. 

I wanted to learn more about emotional intelligence. So, I searched for programs and online courses and enrolled in a few to expand my knowledge. I came across Six Seconds, an NGO with the largest international EQ network that offers multiple courses and certifications around the topic. Six Seconds had a program that led to a Certified EQ coach. At the time, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to become a coach, but my intuition spoke to me, and I decided to follow my curiosity and enroll in the program. It turned out to be a life-changing decision. 

I not only gained deeper self-awareness but also became better at communicating. My husband was the first to notice the change; he was quick to point out that I was less reactive to daily events that frustrated me before and that I was listening more than I was talking during our conversations. A little embarrassing to admit, but yes, I learned we had two ears and one mouth for a reason. I also formed lasting relationships with like-minded people in my cohort, which reinforced my commitment to personal and professional growth. I will cherish these relationships for the rest of my life. My journey towards becoming an EQ Coach was driven not just by becoming a better person myself, but it has connected me to a higher purpose of serving to create a better world, one person at a time. 

Let's take this journey toward personal and professional growth together!

My name is Beverly Shook and I just finished the EQPC. I think the PC was such an important course for me to complete upon beginning my coaching practice because it opened up so many ideas and practices for helping people learn and practice the 6 second EQ Model in their daily life. Learning more about emotions and your noble goal is fundamental in a fulfilling a joyful life as well as build our awareness for ourselves and others need to be mentally healthy in our everyday life and relationships. I really enjoyed the Practiioner course because it was a group of us learning together and practicing what we learned with each other. What a great group of EQ minded people. I also loved the BP course. I learned alot in that course as well. I did that one in a group as well and enjoyed it too. I really like the Assessments (BP) and (UEQ) as well as the (360). I mean what is there not to like. In the Practioner course I enjoyed all the activities that help open up the creative side of learning. It feels good! It is a Fantastic Network.

My name is Melena Simmons, I am a facilitator for EQ Training. My Primary focus is parents with school teachers being a close second. Really anyone who touches young lives. Someone in my role should choose Six Seconds as you share the tools and techniques to help one open their heart and act from a place of compassion and joy. For me this was one of the best trainings because of the interaction, engagement and follow-up. In one word what stands out about the tools is their Simplicity. I was a bit of a skeptic at first but I am hooked. I like the KCG model, self science, TFA...each one just makes sense.

Six Seconds has given me knowledge, insights and a community of EQ. I found tools that are easy to learn, good training and certification and I met fantastic and professional facilitators. I accept the challenge of 1 billion people practicing EQ 2039!

My journey through EQ certification has helped me in many ways personally and professionally. Through the accessor and practitioner courses, I was able to learn more of myself and create my own story that makes coaching and facilitating EQ that much easier. I currently live it, experience it, and want to share as much as I can with like-minded people to continue promoting good in our world.

Six seconds provided me with an opportunity to develop and practice and understand emotional intelligence in an environment that was safe, where I could be vulnerable and speak openly about my emotions.

I love this EQ model, interaction EQ mapping, then we can practice and sharing. It's open me up to achieve that i want more confident and enjoy my life...

The programme is informative and engaging with applicability and transferability in your day to day work and life. Warm and engaging hosts.

I appreciate the opportunity to share experiences of uncertainty with other leaders, and to gain insight and perspective from their knowledge.

From my stand point of view emotions either individuals or teams must be managed in a better way to get better results. This is what six seconds can provide to their customers

In taking a free zoom workshop, I entered into a venue to meet authentic, informed coaches. Along with this, was the inviting engagement to explore each other's thought process with the coaches and peer groups. This quick event provided life-applicable strategies to use immediately, demonstrated the value Six Seconds courses have to offer, and the eagerness to learn more.

Six Seconds has been such an amazing opportunity for me to learn and grow in EQ. I am excited as I am practicing EQ in my personal life and sharing it with my family, staff and clients!

Emotional Intelligence is presented by many authors in different ways, six seconds has a unique practical way of simplifying this through the 3 questions in the Model.

Six Seconds has expanded my understanding of emotional intelligence. I grew up in a family where there was no talk of emotions or feelings. I felt very disconnected and unvalued as a person. Eventually I became a drug addict. I have been clean for 22 years but when I first ran across Six Seconds, a few years back, I thought if I had know this growing up I might never have gone down the road of addiction! It is really important to me and would love to learn how to pass this along to those that might be in the same boat as I was 2 decades ago. Especially how to teach this to those that might not have had higher education. Growing in EQ continues to grow my heart and appreciation for life!

Six Seconds provides a unique framework to make sense of emotions and feelings. This framework provides a tool for both introspection and action to improve relationships, personal effectiveness, and overall well-being and quality of life. There are a wealth of tools available to support you on your journey of discovery.

Six seconds always gives the opportunity to learn and discover within. I have completed the EQ Coach certification but going through UEQ gave the insight which is needed at the moment.

I experienced a second puberty. Studying emotional intelligence gave me a new way to learn about myself and the people I love. I don't want to stop knowing about it. I want to help myself and help them. It was a precious opportunity to remember once again about the vision of my life that I had forgotten.

Brenda-Kim Mindeure - 나의 감정에 대해 깊게 고민해보고 집중해볼 수 있었습니다. 내가 감정을 잘 처리한다고 생각했는데 그렇지 못했다는 것을 알게 되었고, 나에게 좀 더 직면해 볼 수 있는 좋은 시간이었습니다. 더불어 나의 도움을 필요로 하는 많은 이들에게 감정에 대한 복합적인 이해에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것 같습니다.

Every coach is familiar with Emotional Intelligence, mostly from a neuroscience perspective. Rarely do we learn how to help our clients grow in EQ. Six Seconds has the tools for coaches to share with their clients so they grow in self-awareness and interact with others in empathy and compassion. I have worked with the CliftonStrengths assessment for several years and the Six Seconds model blends beautifully with CliftonStrengths. Strengths and EQ- each enhances the other for a transformational client experience.

Having a support network is vital. Finding those who share many of the same values has been a longstanding quest without much success until now. Six seconds I believe has the type of people that I desire to be in a tribe with. Developing my network from this group is my challenge.

The EQ Assessor Certification course was challenging, enlightening, and worth every penny and minute spent. Some of the things I learned are: • It is important to integrate the Six Seconds’ Learning Philosophy into each debrief. • I must take ample time to prepare for each debrief, ensuring I make correlations between KCG competency ratings and Success Factor ratings. • I must walk-the-walk. True change can not happen without head, heart, & action. • It is critical for me to practice and improve my own emotional intelligence so I have the opportunity to model EQ competencies and behaviors for those I coach. • True learning and change happens when people construct their own meaning rather than rely on me. • It is important for me to listen at least 75% of the time and to be fully present as I debrief my clients. • A solid foundation in emotional intelligence is critical to my success as an EQ coach. Big thank you to Aleasa for pushing me (Fish Don’t Talk About Water), for sharing her incredible coaching talent (Windom Lives Within), and for recognizing my individual needs (No Way is The Way). Big thank you to Six Seconds. My appreciation for this organization grows with every EQ Coaching Certification course. You rock!

I truly enjoyed this course! Josh did an amazing job facilitating by presenting the concepts and handouts to accompany my learning while engaging the participants. This course gave me the opportunity to continue with my emotional intelligence practice and application.

The unique value of this program for me was feeling seen and heard while also engaging my deeper desires and values of belonging and empathy.

Correlating between empathy and passion for achieving goals while working on finding a purpose in life was an amazing information for me.

The programme provides opportunity to learn from different perspectives shared by the participants that stem from their lived experiences. This helps in opening up our mind and thoughts to various interpretations, which in turn help in enhancing our knowledge on emotions and their impact in our life in varying capacities and roles.

Emotional Intelligence is going to be way forward in the turbulent world of today, I practice the EI tools at work and personal life too and it has helped me to connect with self and others more meaningfully. I have a better understanding of my emotions and others around me with practice... Thank you so much Six seconds for imparting such crucial tools.. Which is the need of the hour not only today but more importantly for tomorrow and future too in all aspects of our life.

Looking back at my journey with Six Second I realize how EQ has shaped me personally. It's been an exciting journey full of discovery and growth. I am so grateful to have embarked in this journey and feel blessed of the rich community Six Seconds has created which for me is the biggest asset and unique added value of this organization.

We all have the knowledge of emotional intelligence stored within us, sometimes what we need is the right person / organization to mine it. For me, that is what 6Seconds helped me do. I always though I lacked a singular purpose in life till I went through this course which lead me to read an article only to realize I always had a purpose. I just had not defined it as such. Thank you for helping me look within and realize the power of EQ that I have.

CEO and Founder of FUNtazia, Six seconds`s Certified EQ practitioner, Brain profiler and also Six seconds`s Network leader in Varna, Bulgaria, mother of three boys. Since 7 years I`m developing this personal project named FUNtazia, focused on working with children, parents, teachers and psychologists on developing their social and emotional skills. So we develop educational EQ resources (the first ones in BG), used in hundreds of schools, kindergartens, and families. Recently we started helping businesses to establish a healthy and effective working envioronment through tools of EQ. What I find amazing about Six seconds is the model with the 8 competencies. I love it! Once you know about and you get to know the competencies - you start to relate everything in your life with them! I find it amazing. I always imagine the competencies in Six seconds model as a desk of controlling knobs. Every competence is a knob by itself. If one is on the max level – something else is very low… It is not working correctly and beautifully if all of the knobs are on the min, or on the max… There are different situations you need one of the knobs to be more volumed up, on account of other knob, and the greatest thing is to realize that every different moment of your life – requires different volume levels of the knobs. When you have for example an extreme level of Increase empathy and low level of Navigate emotions competence – you are really vulnerable and fragile. You know that you need to work on the rest of the competencies – like emotional literacy as well – turn it to a higher level – to be able to name what`s happening to you and to realize why is it so important,, recognize patterns as well…. to be able to volume up the navigate emotions too…. And then Your empathy will not be on the extreme.,.. and it will be healthy for you, because it will help you connect with others, not blocking you. Love Six Seconds`s model! But I also love the tools - like Brain profile, Talent profiles, dashboard profile and etc - and I use both Youth and adult version in my work. Because they simply WORK! Being part of Six Seconds network is one of the best things that happened to me - I found amazing and active people, ready to GIve themselves into changing the world for the better! It is an inspiration to be one of you! Together - we can do better! For the world!

Driven to a make a positive difference in people’s lives, I developed the EQPlus® Motivation Profile (powered by Six Seconds, the Emotional Intelligence Network) which reveals how people are motivating themselves and how this directly impacts their performance. People, teams, and organizations use this assessment to gain deep insights, make powerful positive shifts and take the action steps they need to succeed now and in the future. My executive coaching and leadership and culture development processes, including this and other Six Seconds tools, have resulted in millions of dollars in new revenue and value for my clients. As a Vistage Chair I extend my coaching and consulting practice by bringing together high-integrity, high performing leaders to grow professionally and personally. What distinguishes Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Assessments is that they measure the degree to which a person is pursuing a “Noble Goal” – their “Why”: a key competency of great leaders.

I chose emotional intelligence and Six Seconds over 10 years ago and it changed the way I live my life. I've been equipped not only with models, methodologies, tools, strategies but especially with the ability to make intentional choices and decisions in every domain. I now incorporate the wisdom of emotions and I contribute to co-build more sustainable society.

My name is Ajené Wilcoxson, and I am a college professor working with a dear colleague facilitating an EQ Academy on campus. I sincerely believe that all educators need EQ as a tool. It is the foundation of who I am and how I engage my colleagues and my students. It sounds simple, but time and time again, I see that the more individuals on campus who are aware of their feelings (KCG), the more authentic, caring, engaging, and present they become. It makes us better human beings.

Iam interested in emotional intelligence and Six Seconds over 5 years ago. Iam workings a trainer for youth in human development field, and Six Seconds has provided me more facilities . I've been equipped with models, tools strategies...and authority. Six Seconds linked me with the newest topics in emotional intelligence subjects. Thanks a million Nov 19, 2022

My name is Debbie Hatzivassiliou. My purpose is to be a part of people’s development as well as my own. Continuous exposure and tapping on how to be smarter with my emotions is my ride to further development. Every time I participant in any type training or workshop with Six Seconds, I take another step towards me, gain an ounce more of wisdom to facilitating others and I feel I get an inch closer to my purpose. Grateful for this group of committed professionals who passionately share and work to create a world of people who embrace emotions!

Six Seconds enriched my work through their powerful tools, structured framework, endless library and transformational trainings and certifications. Belonging to this community and being a network leader has inspired me both professionally and personally on my own self development journey. And to top it all off, the Six Seconds Team is like no other I've ever worked with - beautiful people doing beautiful work!

Ever since I attended Six Seconds training 20+ years ago, I've been rewarded by massive amounts of resources and information on emotional intelligence that help keep me current and growing in my role as Executive Coach. I use EQ every day as I coach leaders to shine their brightest. It's my personal mission to raise our collective EQ among leaders, so it blends nicely with Six Seconds' mission. I'm forever grateful for the Six Seconds community, and especially Josh's contributions on social media.

Six Seconds is a global community of care and belonging. It's about humanity practicing emotional intelligence together, so we can all build a better world for today and tomorrow. The methodology offers actionable step by step process to start becoming more self aware, intentional and purposeful in my life, and keeps me open to learn strategies and ways to improve and evolve. One of my sweetest life memories take me to those amazing days in Ohio with Marilyn, Jim and Lynette, when I took my first Practitioner Certification. Since then, there have been so many fantastic trainings and adventures together, and I hope many more to come. Love you Six Seconds 💜

I am Lori Folkman and I have a passion for learning. I work as a Management Analyst for my regional electric utility provider, the sixth largest community-owned electricity providerin the U.S. In recent years, we have implemented some outstanding initiatives such as Speed of Trust. We are also doing out best to build a robust and healthy DEIB culture. All of these initiatives and programs have one very important thing in common - they all begin with self awareness! Subsequently, I asked myself why my organization isn't training and coaching our leaders in emotional intelligence? Recognizing this gap set me on a path to become a Certified Emotional Intelligence Coach through Six Seconds. I chose Six Seconds because they took a plethora of EQ research and developed a structure that helps people like me to easily understand and practice EQ. Way to go Six Seconds!

Chrystal Lloyd - HR Advisor Organizational Learning. I am getting prepped to offer training sessions and debriefs to our employees. I thoroughly enjoyed the training to become a licensed EQ practitioner. I loved modules contained in the course which took you down a deep self discovery path. The interactions with the classmates were sincere, supportive and meaningful. The course materials and instructors were amazing. Highly recommend the course and Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence community!

Six Seconds provide great tips and tools to view self and management perspectives. It strengthens those who have it and share.

Proud to be a member of this amazing community.

And yes, we know it works, because we we see the effect socially and professionally. Thank you Six Seconds

What stands out for me is making real the butterfly effect that 6seconds has created in spreading EQ awareness worldwide in a proficient and pragmatic way! Their bold noble goal to have a billion people practicing EQ helps in inspiring me with the work I do in coaching senior leaders understand and transform their command and control style behaviour to a more inclusive and empathetic one using the EQ model. This makes it practical and actionable. Happy birthday 6seconds - may you continue on your journey to touch a billion people - fly strong and high and long!)

I work with competitive athletes, as well as ambitious executives, and I'm struck that no matter what we are tackling together, using emotions is at the root of clients' resilience and their performance.
