Emotional intelligence improves effectiveness, relationships, health, influence, decision-making, and quality of life. It is the critical missing ingredient that unlocks human performance at work, at school, and in our communities.
This is a “peer to peer” conference where members of the Six Seconds EQ Network and others interested in EQ join together to share successes in bringing EQ to life, school, and work.
In each session practitioners share an EQ tool or process and how they've used it - so participants experience ways that powerful EQ tools are used with a wide range of audiences.
Attend and take away new clarity about how and why to develop EQ and the Six Seconds methodology to do so.
