EQ Coach Certification: Coach Certification Foundation, Virtual Program (CCF)
Coaching is a powerful process to support people to create positive change – which takes thoughts, feelings, and actions working together. Through this journey you’ll learn to apply International Coach Federation (ICF) Core Competencies for the essentials of coaching; a transformational emotional intelligence framework to make coaching highly effective; plus practical tools to provide metrics for growth.We’ve researched the key ingredients coaches need to launch their practice. Where many programs introduce coaching skills, EQCC prepares and supports you to be an effective coach. Where other programs teach the basics, EQCC equips you to build your practice as a highly effective coach with a robust toolset.
“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.”
