Building trust-centered leadership, teams & organizations where people can be & do their best. MCC, CEO of Six Seconds - the global emotional intelligence community
25 years ago, people would look at me like I was crazy when I said, “I lead the global emotional intelligence nonprofit community” … they’d say, “emotional WHAT?” 😂 Now, just in the last year, just here in our LI group, we’ve shown >100 million people insights, tools, tips to make work and the world a better place by tuning into the value of emotions. Great to wake up to this news today — it’s my birthday! And we’re celebrating World Emotional Intelligence Day (Thursday)… so hooray hooray!! Biggest thanks to people who actively participate in the group discussions!! That’s what makes it a GROUP, and why visiting the group is better than the regular LinkedIn feed. Plus, shout out to the creators who’ve been bringing 💎💎💎content including Justin Wright , Arvid Pedersen , Lukas J.M. Stangl , Melissa Grabiner , Nerry Toledo , Justin Mecham , Lucy G. , Véronique Barrot , Anna Chernyshova , Dr. Christian Poensgen , Noemi Kis✨ Jay Mount Abir Haddoud Benjamin B. Bargetzi and many many many more! I feel inspired and jealous, y’all are rocking it so well, now I’m the one trying to keep up :) 25 years… actually 27: It was June of 1997 that Anabel Jensen and I decided to start Six Seconds. We incorporated in July, and started operations in September of ‘97… when we published our first hands on learning resource. Then ran the world’s first Emotional Intelligence Practitioner Certification in ‘98, and the first global conference was in 2000 (called Nexus EQ). Now 10s of 1000s of people have worked with Six Seconds to grow these skills all around the globe. I don’t know when I started the group on LinkedIn, but I’d guess around 2010. Another way of bringing people together since we can’t do this kind of work by ourselves.
