Develop your EQ Training capacity in a transformational experience of personal and professional growth with a world-class team of emotional intelligence educators.

Emotional intelligence is critical to leadership, learning, and organizational performance. Learn from the leaders in the field how to raise your and others' emotional intelligence. Gain an in-depth understanding of emotional intelligence as you develop new tools you can put to work immediately.

Ideal for people seeking to incorporate emotional intelligence (EQ) into training, leadership, consulting, or teaching, this is the only course of its kind.

Five full days of hands-on, dynamic instruction, activities, practical projects, networking, laughter, and learning. This workshop is highly active, brain-based, and experiential The content is based on 35 years of practical teaching experience and the Self-Science curriculum featured as a model in Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence. Certified Associates are delivering programs in over 20 countries and all US states; over 800 professionals have attended this program and found great professional and personal value.

A recent group said the program increased their EQ toolbox by 313%, and when asked if the course would help them improve performance at work, they said it was 10 out of 10 (download). Delegates call it "life changing and affirming," and "a transformational experience for everyone serious about emotional intelligence," and rate it 9.14/10 on "this course changed my life." You will improve your communication and teaching skills and your understanding of emotional intelligence -- or your money back!

The seminar follows Six Seconds' Know Yourself, Choose Yourself, Give Yourself model for learning to develop and apply emotional intelligence (the same model as the SEI assessment). Participants experience an EQ learning environment and learn how to use a range of effective tools that can be adapted to a variety of audiences.

Topics include:

Why EQ? If IQ increased by 25 points last century, why are people still having so much trouble succeeding?

Defining EQ. There are all these different definitions of emotional intelligence -- what does it really mean?

Emotional Literacy. How do people learn to identify and appropriately express emotions?

The Brain. What's the neuroscience behind this powerful way of learning, where do emotions come from, and what's special about a Six Second Pause?

Patterns. How come people end up having the same kinds of fights and conflicts over and over -- and how do you change it?

Choice and Values. How do I help people see that they are making choices about their own lives? What choices am I making about mine?

Optimism. What's the key secret to getting people to take charge of their lives?

Intrinsic Motivation. Why don't incentives, grades, and employee/student-of-the-month programs create lasting change?

Empathy. What does it take to really connect with someone, understand them, and build a solid foundation?

Noble Goals. How do I live my life so my daily choices align with my true beliefs and purpose -- and what's my purpose anyway?

Goals and Outcomes

You will...

learn how to develop and deliver your own EQ learning experiences.
understand the Know Yourself, Choose Yourself, Give Yourself model and how to apply it for learning and teaching.
learn the most current research on the brain, emotions, behavior, and learning.
identify specific actions to increase EQ for self, community, work, or family.
enrich your toolbox of teaching/training techniques and approaches.
receive recommendations of many resources, ideas, books, movies, etc.

This course does not attempt to provide a complete scientific and theoretical foundation of emotional intelligence, though it does refer to the current science of emotional intelligence. We will provide recommended reading prior to the program.

Rather than a "script" of how to teach EQ, this course equips you to develop and deliver your own program. The Certified Associate web site provides several "ready made" modules to get you started -- but our philosophy is that cookie cutters don't create the kind of transformational learning needed to bring emotional intelligence into practice.
