Every emotion tells a story.

Frustration can be a signal that something truly matters to you. Anxiety often highlights what you’re trying to safeguard. Even boredom can point to a gap between where you are and what you need.
The real question isn’t whether emotions exist - they’re always present. The question is whether we’re paying attention to what they’re communicating.

That’s the central idea behind Emotion Rules, the new book from our CEO and Cofounder, Joshua Freedman.
Built on more than 30 years of research and practical work in 180 countries, the book looks beyond traditional emotional intelligence. It explores the patterns emotions follow - and how recognizing those patterns can reshape the way you lead, make decisions, build relationships, and perform.

This isn’t just theory. It offers practical frameworks you can start using right away.

Emotions aren’t barriers to overcome. They’re valuable signals that can guide us toward clearer thinking, stronger leadership, and more meaningful action.

🌍 Today is SEL Day! 🧠💬

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) helps people develop the skills to understand and manage emotions, build meaningful relationships, and make responsible decisions.

It’s essential not only in education, but also in workplaces and communities - because emotional intelligence drives collaboration, resilience, and impact.

For SEL day we will be celebrating with this immersive workshop happening tomorrow with Ilaria Boffa! Learn more and register here 👉 https://events.6seconds.org/event-details/7c5be6c4-5ee9-4f45-96c9-aae5d779227f

Listening is a learnable skill that can transform the way we show up for ourselves and others. 💙

When we truly listen, to our emotions, to the subtle signals of our body, we create space for self-awareness and intentional self-care. As our listening widens, it naturally extends beyond the self, becoming a way of caring for others, for the living world, and for the systems we are embedded in.
Listening asks us to pause, to attune to what is happening beneath the surface, and to become more conscious of how we show up in relationship - with ourselves, with others, and with our environment. From this quality of presence, authentic connection can emerge, both inwardly and outwardly.

✨ Last days to register ✨

Join us to begin 2026 by reconnecting with the force of listening, and exploring how this essential skill can support presence, clarity, and more conscious ways of being.

📅 Date & Time: February 3rd, 6 pm CET (Vienna time)
