Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Emotions drive people, People drive Performance
It is the art of balancing head and heart. It is key to having a successful relationship with yourself and others. EQ is a powerful set of learnable skills that can help us to become more aware, make better choices, and be more purposeful.
Emotional intelligence is the capacity to blend thinking and feeling to make optimal decisions — which is key to having a successful relationship with yourself and others. To provide a practical and simple way to learn and practice emotional intelligence, Six Seconds developed a three-part model in 1997 as a process – an action plan for using emotional intelligence in daily life.
The Six Seconds model turns emotional intelligence theory into practice for your personal and professional life.
Three Important Pursuits -
1) Know Yourself gives you the “what” – when you know yourself, you know your strengths and challenges, you know what you are doing, what you want, and what to change.
2) Choose Yourself provides the “how” – when you choose yourself to take action, how to influence yourself and others, how to ‘operationalize’ these concepts
3) Give Yourself delivers the “why” – when you Give Yourself you are clear and full of energy so you stay focused on why to respond a certain way, why to move in a new direction, and why others should come on board.
