Emotional Intelligence is not about head over heart, and not about IQ or EQ, it is about the blending of emotions and thoughts – which leads to optimal decisions and positive change.

EqModelThe Six Seconds EQ Model is based on three actions or pursuits:
Know Yourself – increase awareness
Choose Yourself – act intentionality
Give Yourself – align with purpose.

The SEI profile builds on the Six Seconds Model and is a scientifically validated self assesment to measure the eight EQ competencies. The SEI provides a framework for action (hands-on tool) in leadership and general well being in life.

Leadership is about people....and people are not only rational.

To be effective and succeed in challenging times, where change is ongoing, today's leaders have to adjust their leadership style and connect with people on a personal level – understand what drives their people and build a level of trust.higher eq This "connecting" requires a high level of emotional intelligence, specifically empathy: the ability to sense how others feel and connect at an emotional level.
Bad news: a recent Harvard Business review article notes that the quality senior leaders lack most is empathy.
Empathy can be learned by developing emotional intelligence. First, by examining how their own emotions inside. Second by becoming aware of the impact of their words and actions on others.
Empathy is one out of eight skills that is learnable.
For leaders today consistently developing the skills of EQ is a "must do— and it is rewarding!
