Assessments
Validated instruments for a person, a team or a whole organization, Six Seconds assessments provide leaders and coaches with actionable data on emotional drivers and performance outcomes.
Certification
Six Seconds is an ICF-accredited coaching school at all three levels. Certify your internal coaches to ICF standards so the capability lives inside your organization, or bring in our certified coaches to work with your people.
Services
Don’t want to build it in-house? Our coaches do the work. Senior practitioners working one to one with your executives and leadership teams — outside your reporting lines, so there is no conflict of interest and people speak freely.
Start from the coaching program you already run. Some organizations plug our assessments into it as they are; others want their own coaches certified, or ours brought in alongside.

It starts with data
Teams rarely need what they think they need. Measuring first shows you the real development areas rather than the assumed ones — which is what makes a coaching plan work, and what lets you prove it did. We offer several assessment suites to take individual or enterprise-level coaching further, and most programs use more than one.
