What is your goal with learning? Is this entertainment? Or are you working to impart information?

At Six Seconds, learning is a process of change. We’re here to make a difference in the world by growing emotional intelligence — and for us, that goes beyond “knowing.” We want a billion people practicing emotional intelligence… so we’ve distilled 50 years of learning-about-learning into practical frameworks that make learning into a transformational process.

The three key ingredients apply to all learning — math class can be boring, or it can be lifechanging. A corporate onboarding workshop can be mundane, or it can transform the employee’s engagement in the new role. By applying these tools, you can turn any learning experience into something deeper, more meaningful, and long-lasting.
