~ Developing Emotional Intelligence ~
There is much being done about measuring
EQ, but the real value lies in the development of one's capacity in
these areas. We are fortunate to have studied and worked with
the people at Six Seconds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to
bringing emotional intelligence into practice in schools, families,
organizations, and communities. Six Seconds teaches emotional
intelligence (or "EQ") skills so children and adults can lead more
joyful, complete, productive, and healthy lives. These learnable
skills -- including emotional literacy, optimism, empathy, management
of impulses, and resiliency -- create self-awareness, self-management,
and self-direction. The Six Seconds' school curriculum, Self Science
was profiled in Daniel Goleman's best selling book "Emotional
Intelligence" as a model for the teaching of emotional intelligence.
Through workshops and individual coaching
we help to develop emotional competencies, enabling people to more
successfully navigate through the experiences in their personal and
professional lives.
