In the following article, she highlights the importance of inculcating emotional intelligence and the way forward through EQ Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is EQ?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Emotional intelligence means being smarter with\nfeelings. It is a learnable, measurable, scientifically validated skill set\nthat fuels better effectiveness, relationships, wellbeing and quality of life \u2014\nfor adults &amp; children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six Seconds research and share scientific, global, transformational tools and\nmethods to support the data on EQ. With\noffices and representatives in 25 countries and members in 167 countries, the\nSix Seconds community extends the globe.<s><\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s easy to start practicing&nbsp;EQ, it\u2019s more powerful and fun working together. So, after\nbecoming&nbsp;certified&nbsp;in Six Seconds\u2019 methods and tools, volunteers\napply to become Network Leaders to host informal \u2018EQ Cafes\u2019. These free gatherings are a way to build a local community of practice,\nsharing the power of emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the Caf\u00e9s About?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-3.jpg\" alt=\"EQ Caf\u00e9\" class=\"wp-image-19327 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-3-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-3-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-3-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-3-500x333.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/500;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The EQ Caf\u00e9s are 90-minute sessions with dialogue,\nfun, and meaningful interaction to experience what happens when we practice EQ.\nThey are not lectures or classes \u2014 because we believe the best learning comes\nfrom the inside. From learning to change to stress to wellbeing\u2026 the themes\nfocus on how emotional intelligence can improve our daily lives in every\nsector. Each calendar quarter we develop a new theme, publish the Caf\u00e9, and\nNetwork Leaders join online meetings to prepare. Then these amazing volunteers\nshare the power of EQ in&nbsp;over 80 cities around the world. Each quarter,\nall around the world, members of this community are virtually collaborating on\nthe theme. We usually have four EQ Cafes\u2019 each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the role of cafes in these\nventures?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To conduct\nthe EQ Caf\u00e9\u2019s, the Network Leader contacts a coffee shop or a learning centre\nfor a space to conduct the EQ Caf\u00e9\u2019. In my case, I look for cafes\u2019 owned by young\nOmani entrepreneurs. The EQ Caf\u00e9 is free of charge for the participants;\nhowever, we usually request participants to buy at least a drink from the\nplace. Some Caf\u00e9s charge a minimal amount for a particular hall for the session\nand Bastah Majan is one of those caf\u00e9s with a dedicated area. In the past, we\nhave utilised Cake Gallery and Africa Coffee house; some sessions were also\nconducted in institutions (depending on the theme). We have conducted one\nsession at CBFS in 2017, as the theme targeted young adults and focused on\nlearning, and one in Azzan Bin Qais School, as we needed 3-7 years old children\nin that particular EQ Caf\u00e9\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who\nleads the Caf\u00e9s?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" data-src=\"https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-5.jpg\" alt=\"EQ Caf\u00e9\" class=\"wp-image-19328 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-5.jpg 750w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-5-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-5-746x420.jpg 746w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-5-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-5-500x281.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/422;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our&nbsp;emotional intelligence certification training\nprogrammes, we share these best practices so people can more effectively\nuse and develop EQ. Graduates can apply to become Network Leaders. Most are\nalso sharing EQ in their&nbsp;professional work as facilitators, coaches,\nconsultants, teachers and trainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can EQ help create a sustainable\n\u2018Fourth Industrial Revolution\u2019, which represents a fundamental change in the\nway we live, work and relate to one another?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaders in every sector \u2013 from business to education\nto government \u2013 have to re-examine the way they do business. They need to\nunderstand their changing environment, challenge the assumptions and patterns\nthey follow on autopilot, and relentlessly and continuously innovate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that is easier said than done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anxiety is on the rise all over the world. And the\ncruel irony is that those feelings of anxiety and hopelessness often block the\nexact type of innovative thinking that\u2019s needed to thrive in this type of\nenvironment. Innovation requires a range of emotional intelligence skills \u2013\nlike empathy, optimism and critical thinking. These EQ skills fuel the process\nof innovation \u2013 imagining new possibilities, working collaboratively with\nothers, adjusting to new realities and staying open to new ideas, as well as\nnavigating the fear and anxiety that has come to define this era of change.\nThis is why the&nbsp;World Economic\nForum Future of Jobs Report&nbsp;lists\nemotional intelligence as one of the most important skills for the workforce of\nthe 21st century \u2013 in a rapidly changing world, EQ is indispensable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"469\" data-src=\"https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-2.jpg\" alt=\"EQ Caf\u00e9\" class=\"wp-image-19329 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-2-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-2-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-2-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/facesoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Web-EQ-Cafe-2-500x313.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/469;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our theme for 2019 Q3 is innovation &#8211; that rare human capacity to see a\npossibility that did not exist, and to bring it to life. Since emotions are a\ncatalyst to focus our attention, and a way of helping us notice what\u2019s\nimportant, emotions could be an invaluable \u2018spark\u2019 to fuel innovation. At the\nsame time, emotions can push us into a closed posture of defensiveness and\nprotecting of \u2018the old way\u2019. Given the growing complexities in our world, how\nmight we ensure we\u2019re making innovations that serve the greatest good, not just\ncapitalising on opportunity for short-term gain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, governments and many organizations (including Six Seconds)\nare focused on innovation toward an essential purpose: Achieving the\nSustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To achieve the SGDs, we will need to\ninnovate ourselves.
