Assessments – Curriculum – Certification
Measure what matters.
There are two ways nonprofits do better work with Six Seconds tools and assessments: 1. Build internal capacity as an organization and 2. Measure the impact of a service or program. In its holistic workforce development program, Twin Cities R!SE both invests in emotional intelligence training for every trainer at its Personal Empowerment Institute and measures pre- and post- results for program participants, to measure changes in emotional intelligence and key life outcomes. All Six Seconds assessments are normed and validated with a global dataset, anonymous for users, and easy to use.
