Given the growing awareness of the value of SEL, colleges and universities are beginning to integrate these skills into degree programs, as resources toward a healthy learning environment, and in building high-performing collaborative organizations. Research suggests that SEL (social emotional learning) initiatives in higher education operate as a piecemeal approach due to its nature, whereas a systematic operation offers greater benefits. Six Seconds is the leading provider of emotional intelligence frameworks, curriculum, and assessments to fully integrate EQ across the institution – in three key areas:
Campus Climate
The whole campus uses EQ to build a thriving learning community. What structures and processes will empower all students, faculty, and constituents to succeed?
Academic Practices
EQ integrated into coursework to enhance learning. How can I infuse SEL into academic instruction, course interactions, and research?
Personal Development
EQ integrated into coursework to enhance learning. How can I infuse SEL into academic instruction, course interactions, and research?
Innovative Tools to Learn and Grow Emotional Intelligence
Rather than “a program,” Six Seconds’ methodology is to build capacity in proven methods and measures so professionals in the institution are equipped and support to build solutions that work within your context. Especially given our work in 200+ countries, we’ve found this approach is more aligned to each institutions values & mission, culturally responsive, and sustainable. Building blocks include:

Assessments
From the introductory Brain Profiles to in-depth EQ assessments to leadership multi-raters to team and organizational metrics, Six Seconds’ normed & validated tools offer insight and support for action.
