About This Event
Why Attend EQ Week Phoenix?
Join us in Phoenix for a hands-on, immersive experience as we explore EQ in business and leadership through two certifications. In a rare session where Joshua Freedman, CEO of Six Seconds and author of Emotion Rules, serves as the Lead Facilitator for the full week, you will gain direct insight into the best-in-class processes used to bring emotional intelligence (EQ) to life in organizations all around the world. This certification week is designed to help you apply the science of EQ to drive robust performance metrics, strengthen leadership, and create transformational results with high ROI.
By joining EQ Week, and completing the post-course projects, you’ll earn the EQ Practitioner & EQ Performance Metrics credentials. These certifications are not only personally transformational but equip you to assess, design, and deliver a blueprint that enhances individual and organizational performance when you leave.
