Coaching is a powerful process to support people to create positive change – which takes thoughts, feelings, and actions working together. Six Seconds’ EQ Coach Certification is an in-depth, ICF accredited coaching program that equips you with the skills and resources you need to be an effective coach. You’ll learn how to be a coach, and how to deliver coaching – through intensive training with deeply experienced faculty, a worldwide community, and a complete system of tools for measurement and growth. Upon completion of the program, you will receive a certificate that shows you have completed a level 2 program, which contributes to the PCC application with the ICF. You will also receive the Certified EQ Coach credential with Six Seconds, and be ready to start your coaching career and help clients achieve extraordinary results.
We’ve identified the essential ingredients coaches need to truly launch a thriving practice. While many programs simply introduce coaching skills, EQCC goes further — preparing and supporting you to become an effective coach with coaching practices observed by skilled EQCC graduates & ICF Certified members. Beyond teaching the basics, EQCC equips you with a robust toolset to confidently build your practice and create lasting impact with clients.
“I researched many ICF Coach Certification programs and selected EQCC because of the learning model and depth of in-person training. While not the least expensive, learning together in this community is Priceless!!”

“I’ve been studying EQ for a number of years; I began looking for a robust EQ program/system that I could fully integrate into our organization’s leadership development program, as well as enhance my coaching experience. After about 6 months of research, I chose Six Seconds. I found the model to be thorough, easy to understand and well-grounded in solid research. Their resource library and support personnel are extremely knowledgeable and responsive and the way they melded their EQ model into the International Coaching Foundation credentialing is outstanding. Lastly, being a member of Six Seconds Global Community provides a valuable insight into different cultures and approaches to applying EQ.”
– Rick Smith, Chief Administrative Officer, Vail Health
