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.
