Six Seconds Model of Emotional Intelligence




Know Yourself

Clearly seeing what you feel and

do.

Emotions are data, and these

competencies allow you to

accurately collect that information.

Choose Yourself

Doing what you mean to do.

Instead of reacting “on autopilot,”

these competencies allow you to

proactively respond.

Give Yourself

Doing it for a reason.

These competencies help you

put your vision and mission into

action so you lead on purpose

and with full integrity.

Gives you the “what” – when you Know

Yourself, you know your strengths and

challenges, you know what you are doing,

what you want, and what to change.

Provides the “how” – it shows you how to

take action, how to influence yourself and

others, how to “operationalize” these

concepts.

Delivers the “why” – when you Give

Yourself you are clear and full of energy so

you stay focused why to respond a certain

way, why to move in a new direction, and

why others should come on board.
