Given the critical importance of emotional health, happiness, and overall wellbeing, emotional intelligence (EQ) is viewed as one of the most valuable personal resources. There is a growing body of research showing the skills of EQ can help people achieve productive results, be and feel better, improve decision-making, and form stronger relationships. Know. Choose. Give. A Practical Guide for Personal & Professional Success using the Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Framework delivers 35 key skills. The program is driven by the Six Seconds model of EQ-in-Action that includes three important pursuits:Know Yourself: Clearly seeing what you feel and do. Emotions are data, and these competencies allow you to accurately collect that information.Choose Yourself: Doing what you mean to do. Instead of reacting "on autopilot," these competencies allow you to proactively respond.Give Yourself: Doing it for a reason. These competencies help you put your vision and mission into action so you lead on purpose and with full integrity. The facilitator's guide includes a code for one EQ self-assessment, a companion website for additional resources, a hands-on tool to practice EQ entitled Think, Feel, and Act (TFA) cards, and a suggested Six Seconds training and certification model designed to enhance facilitation skills and implementation of this curriculum. These easy-to-use lessons include a check-in, various interactive activities, discussion topics, and reflective worksheets. The program helps participants learn, understand, and actively develop the core skills necessary to be successful in making sustained and positive change. Tested with university students, the workbook provides an implementation plan that can be adaptable for use as an academic course offering as a general education or major requirement and integrated across the institution. Ideal for higher education, Know. Choose. Give. A Practical Guide for Personal & Professional Success using the Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Framework also works in various organizational settings. The program opens the opportunity to actively participate in the Six Seconds' community that works in 174 countries and supports over five million people practicing EQ.
