Amman - Six Seconds Jordan for Training and Consulting Services has recently hosted and completed its first EQ certification for leaders, HR professionals, trainers, coaches and consultants. This workshop falls in line with "Six Seconds International" plans to expand in the Middle East, and add a group of highly prestigious and certified Arabic speaking professionals to its pool of certified Emotional Intelligence (EQ) practitioners which includes more than 3,000 members worldwide.
The five day workshop is based on the latest research in neuroscience and focuses on introducing and enhancing the emotional intelligence of the participants by focusing on the "Six Seconds EQ In-Action Model" which was developed in 1997. This model begins with three important pursuits: "Know Yourself", "Choose yourself" and "Give Yourself". Within these pursuits, there are eight specific, measurable, learnable competencies including: clearly understanding what we feel, recognizing patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, applying consequential thinking, navigating emotions, exercising optimism, increasing empathy with others and pursuing noble goals. By applying the model, one becomes more aware (noticing what one does), more intentional (doing what one means), and more purposeful (doing it for a reason).
On this occasion, Six Seconds Regional Director and Master Trainer, Jayne Morrison stated: "We are delighted that our first of its kind workshop in Jordan was a great success. Our purpose is to engage and certify participants so that they become members of our pool of practitioners, and use their knowledge to help us in raising EQ awareness and practices through training and empowering others in their respective roles as professionals in every sector of society.
She added: "With the momentum and growth of Human Capital Development that Jordan and the Middle East are witnessing; the timing is perfect. The emotional intelligence (EQ) training and consulting will fuel this development and accelerate human effectiveness in organizations and institutions both in the private and public sectors throughout the region."
