Six Seconds, the international Emotional Intelligence network, has launched its operations in Jordan and is represented by Imprint, a company focused on training and management consulting.

Six Seconds is a leading global organisation specialised in spreading awareness, life-changing training, change-focused consulting and supporting people to make a positive difference - everywhere, all the time in the field of Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

This new partnership falls in line with Six Seconds plans to expand in the Middle East area, and add a group of highly prestigious and certified Arabic speaking professionals to its pool of certified Emotional Intelligence (EQ) practitioners which incorporates more than 3,000 members worldwide.

The importance of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) started increasing significantly when continuous research in the business world has proven that the Intellectual Quotient (IQ) isn’t the main predictor of employees’ success and brilliance in performance as was the general prevailing idea.

Research results confirmed that there is another kind of intelligence represented by a special set of skills and competencies which make a 'star' out of an employee. This set of skills is mainly based on using one’s emotions effectively. Moreover, research has proven that using emotions effectively will have a positive impact on motivation which in turn influences productivity and performance; and this is the heart of Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

'We are delighted to launch our operations in Jordan. The timing is perfect with the momentum and growth Human Capital Development is witnessing in Jordan and the Middle East area,' stated Six Seconds COO Joshua Freedman.-TradeArabia News Service
