EQ News, July 2006

There's a heat wave around N America, and it's YAEQO -- "Yet another EQ opportunity." One of those moments in life where we all need to work a little harder to practice emotional intelligence. Became very clear last night in the midst of a stupid cranky argument w my wife. Eventually neither of us had a clue what we were fighting about, just hot and tired and probably dehydrated.

The good news -- lots of new EQ tools and events for your learning.

1. Invitation to Spanish-speaking colleagues for a no-cost-EQ-assessment.
2. NEW! SEI reports - Strengths and Leadership
3. Web site needed to invite people to surveys
4. NEW! Set, track, and meet your goals with the EQ Action Log
5. Upcoming events

*************************************
1. SEI-Spanish validation
*************************************
Please invite your Spanish-speaking colleagues to take the SEI for free as we perform the validation of the new version. The SEI is the latest emotional intelligence assessment, featuring a development focus and excellent psychometric properties. Participants in the validation take the assessment in Spanish and receive a Strengths Report in Spanish:

2. New SEI reports - Strengths and Leadership
*************************************
The SEI Strengths Report (SR) helps you identify and leverage your EQ assets. This tool offers all the validity and rigor of the SEI distilled into three key action areas. The SR is $15, no debrief required. You can then request a full report and debrief without needing to take another questionnaire.

The SEI Leadership Report (LR) provides and in-depth analysis of your emotional intelligence competencies and helps you apply EQ to improve your leadership. An executive summary provides a quick picture, then extensive interpretation provides background, theory, and practical action steps -- fully customized based on your scores.

3. Web site needed to invite people to surveys
*******************************
We conduct surveys on 6seconds.org (such as this one on emotions and decision-making: http://tinyurl.com/kfvsn ). The results are fascinating, but probably skewed because we only get people interested in EQ!!

Do you have a web site about something totally different (cars, travel, shopping, etc) with a lot of traffic? Would you be willing to let us put a link for people to take a survey (a few times a year)?

Reply and let me know!!!

4. Set, track, and meet your goals with the EQ Action Log
*******************************
The EQ Action Log is a 90-day roadmap to develop and apply EQ. With helpful tips, meaningful mental models, and focusing exercises, the workbook helps focus on implementation.
