The in-depth discussions proved the real mastery of the facilitators in the theory and teaching of emotional intelligence."The power of the SEI is its link to the Six Seconds EQ model, an in-depth, simple, and highly effective tool for putting emotional intelligence in action.
Developed in 1997, and based on over 35 years of proven experience teaching social and emotional competencies, the model encapsulates leading thinking on using feelings effectively. Wendy Wu, General Manager of China's New Leaders International calls the SEI "the most effective and sustainable way to build emotional competency and leadership influence." Six Seconds' model, used by many of the world's best emotional intelligence trainers, coaches, and educators, focuses on putting EQ into action.
The premise is that to make optimal, relationship-enhancing decisions, a person will reflect, choose, and respond with care.
The skills are divided into three key principles:1. Know Yourself
is using self-awareness to increase insight and clarity (versus "putting your head in the sand").2. Choose Yourself is managing reactions and emotions so your actions follow your intentions (versus running on "autopilot").3.Give Yourself is using the powerful feelings connected with purpose to create emotional wisdom and strengthen personal power (versus "blowing with the wind").There are eight key competencies that allow someone to effectively follow the three principles.
They include developing emotional literacy, managing (called "navigating") emotions, and empathy.Participants in the Certification training will learn to deliver, interpret, and debrief the SEI and to:- Use a clear, actionable model for applying emotional intelligence.- Present the SEI and the Six Seconds' model of EQ.- Apply the SEI in coaching, development, and selection.- Design a SEI PPDP (personal and professional development plan).- Develop your own emotional intelligence.The Six Seconds EQ Network respected worldwide for practical, in-depth, and authentic training and development.

Learn To Manage People
Learn to Manage PeopleBy (c) Copyright 2004 If you are a manager you are by definition dealing with people. You are managing them. As such, to be successful you must be able to build up a rapport with those you are managing.If you are to get the best from your staff you must be able to encourage them, cajole them, or otherwise persuade them. Of course ultimately you may have to discipline them, but this is a last resort.Why is it then that so many managers are so bad at dealing with people?For those who have risen up the ranks of a large company this can be a consequence of being appointed as a reward for competence or even excellence at their previous job, but of never having being trained in management. They may have been excellent at what they did before but need to be guided, mentored, and coached for their new people-oriented role.A large company really has no excuse not to provide the training needed.
It has the experience of others to draw on and it has (or should have...
