...

WHY

Engage & support general public in a city/metro area to practice EQ through EQ Café events and other Six Seconds’ programs & tools as part of building the worldwide network and the Six Seconds’ nonprofit mission of increasing insight, connection, and purpose (read about all the different roles at Six Seconds HERE)

WHAT

  • NLs offer at least 1 cafe per theme. There are 3 themes co-designed at a global level each year, so at least 3 cafes per year. They are highly encouraged to run a 4th cafe chosen between ‘Intro to EQ Cafe’ (in the library) and the past ones (discuss with your regional coordinator which are available).
  • NLs join each of the 3 NL calls during which they will review the Cafe Plan, practice the cafe and support/get support in their role.
  • NLs will each set 1-3 goals for the year, aligned to the NLs own purpose and our shared work. Share with regional coordinator how to measure progress (eg # people engaged)
  • Optionally, NLs may host additional events to grow EQ; please check with the regional coordinator to see what’s applicable in the region, eg: EQ Gym Book Club - TFA Cards Salon - UEQ Profile Discussion Groups - Buddy Programme - EQ Story Circles - Change Starts Within. As with Cafés, all of these add-ons are designed for the general public.

HOW

NLs are highly encouraged to co-host cafes with other NLs, especially online.

ResponsibilitiesType:  

The Network Leader (NL) works to develop and support a network of members in a city/metro area as part of Six Seconds’ nonprofit mission of increasing insight, connection, and purpose -- by engaging people to practice together through EQ Café events.

Following from the free Cafés, NLs may choose to offer participants more in-depth ways to engage and grow their EQ for a small fee. Please refer to your Regional Network Director or the NL coordinator in the Region about EQ Gym and other mini programs and products when available. As with Cafés, all of these add-ons are designed for the general public.

Note: Volunteer / Independent

Title: ___(city) EQ Network Leader

Qualifications: Active Certified  Member; alignment with Six Seconds’ vision & philosophy

Duration: One year, renewable on mutual agreement.


The volunteer NL role is designed to focus on the general public as a B2C (business to consumer) offer. NLs may not use Cafés inside a business / for closed groups. If you want to partner with Six Seconds to work with a business to business (B2B) focus serving organisations and institutions, contact your Regional Network Director and discuss the opportunity to become a Preferred Partner.

Image AddedLogistics

To make this happen, Six Seconds will provide materials every quarter in advance for the Network Leader to hold at least three 3 events per year (either the current quarterly Cafés and/or the annual POP-UP Festival for Children’s Day). Six Seconds provides the content (slides, facilitator notes, invite) and posts the events on its sites. The NL invites people locally and holds the event (free of charge, but fees or donations may be collected to offset actual costs, such as venue rental). The EQ Cafés are interactive workshops to experience EQ -- focused on the larger community and building a more emotionally intelligent world. 

Registration to Cafes is handled via Six Seconds’ process online. If registration is not done via Six Seconds’ process, then NL will get permission from participants (on registration) to share the data with Six Seconds and will report attendance to each Cafe to Six Seconds, including names+emails of participants.

Access to Material and Social Media groups

As soon as Network Leaders are approved in the role, they receive access to:

- Google Drive Shared Folder for NLs where they can find a) quarterly cafes subfolders with material (cafe plan/slides/handouts), b) cafe plan regional calls recordings per quarter.

Please provide an email address with Gmail in order to access this folder easily.- Facebook Closed Group for NLs.
Please provide the email with which you sign in into Facebook.
- Whatsapp Closed Group for NLs.
The link to join will be sent as soon as the application is approved

Additional Commitments

Stay Active

Network Leaders are part of building and sustaining a global movement for a more emotionally intelligent world. NL responsibilities in this include:
-Joining each of the quarterly NL web meetings to support / strengthen your EQ practice. On the calls you will review the Cafe plan and to engage and support other NLs and get support for this work.
-active practice includes:

...

  • Whatsapp Group . This group is for Q&A about Cafes and discussing “privately” with fellow Network Leaders

...

-NLs may run in the quarter cafes related to that quarter theme only. Please refer to the RND or NL coordinator to ask for an exception and host previous quarter themes.
Compensation & Benefits

  • The NL is a volunteer role; NLs are not employees and NLs are responsible for any taxes due from commissions or other revenues they receive.
  • NLs can earn revenue from Six Seconds by referring people to cert courses (commission is 10% of registration). Please check with your Regional Network Director applicability and conditions. 
  • Expenses related to the NL activities will be reimbursable only if there is a pre-agreement with a Six Seconds’ Director or executive. 
  • As a Network Leader you receive ACE units for holding Cafés, read more HERE. 

Positioning & Conflict of Interest

  • In this role, the Network Leader is focused on bringing EQ to the general public (B2C).
  • The RND can approve more than one NL for the same town. In this case NLs may decide to collaborate and host EQ cafes together, or work independently but maintain communication to avoid having the same Café within a 2-week period in the same town/city.
  • The work as NL is part of Six Seconds nonprofit mission, working to build a community of people committed to practicing emotional intelligence. Many NLs are, in addition to their volunteer work, developing their business as EQ Practitioners. In this capacity, the NL role can help create authority and outreach, but the primary purpose of being an NL is to bring EQ to the general public.
