The EQ Edge, an entity birthed as a result of the merger of 2 consulting and training companies - The Solutions Gallery Sdn Bhd and LeadingAdvantage Consulting Sdn Bhd - was previously Six Seconds Malaysia, the country office representing Six Seconds Global EQ Network. Following a global restructure at Six Seconds, The EQ Edge was appointed as the first Preferred Partner of Six Seconds in Malaysia.
Six Seconds is the first and largest organisation that is 100% dedicated to the development of emotional intelligence, a powerful toolset to support people and communities to create positive change — everywhere, all the time.
Six Seconds developed the EQ-in-Action model in 1997 to help people put the theory of emotional intelligence into practice. This model is based on Peter Salovey’s (advisory board member of Six Seconds) and John Mayer’s work that first defined EQ as a scientific concept. It also builds on the five components of EQ popularised by Professor Daniel Goleman in his 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence,
which endorses Six Seconds' EQ Curriculum.
