Six Seconds provides tons of free information and inspiration translating the latest research on emotional intelligence and neuroscience to make it useable in daily life.

We publish world class assessments for adults and children and for organisations and schools. Then we teach “practitioners” how to use these tools and our transformational methodology.

In our network, certified practitioners and our preferred partners work with individuals, businesses, schools, families, and most everyone to bring the benefits of emotional intelligence into daily life.

When you practice EQ, you get insight into what’s driving you and your kid(s), and become much more able to respond thoughtfully (versus react thoughtlessly).
