●Thanks to EQ, smiles and peace of mind have come to my family—some very good changes have occurred😊
Me: "Ma-san, haven't you become a nice person lately? lol"
Husband: "lol People at work say that too, lol"
Me: "That's great!"
Husband: "It is, it is..."
///
Well, I had this conversation with my husband a few days ago,
and wondering what exactly happened, I can think of one thing.
It's that my way of being has changed😊
■
The first time I encountered EQ (Emotional Intelligence) was in an online course held this July by Yasuhiko Nakamura (Yasu-san) Instructor: EQ + EG (Emergenetics) style
///
Takuramiya Boss, Shigeo Morimoto's proposal
(The following is a transcription of his message)
Recently, while using TOC in companies, I feel that what I am actually doing is tilling the soil of the collective organization and building its culture.
The TOC thinking process is very useful, and I am also utilizing the psychology I have learned, but I feel I need to learn a bit more about the emotional side of humans.
~Omitted~
Regarding EQ (Emotional Intelligence), Yumiko Yoshida, a director at TOCfE, is also working on it, and I intuitively feel that it is a good fit.
///
And in response to that proposal, here is the content of the three-part course that Yasu Nakamura-san put together^^
Part 1: Basics of EQ (What is EQ? How do you use it?)
Part 2: Analysis and application of emotional intelligence as seen in the Six Seconds "SEI Leadership Report"
Part 3: The relationship between thinking processes, Emergenetics, and emotional intelligence (What and how can it be applied in the field?)
Please also refer to this blog for a look at Yasu Nakamura-san's EQ (Emotional Intelligence) seminar.

Why did my way of being change because of this course? Well...
Following Morimoto-san's example, who started tracking family KPIs after the course, I also started tracking family KPIs.
Morimoto-san's family KPIs are here.
The link to the Facebook post is here. It is set to public, so please take a look^^
*KPI stands for Key Performance Indicators
From Wikipedia
(Although that is the definition on Wikipedia, we think about what happiness indices are for ourselves and our families and set our KPIs accordingly.)
●Setting "Dinner" as a family KPI and using it as an indicator.
Eating together☆
Separate (different times, but we can talk)○
Zoom (at home, but can't talk)△
Business trip/Out (not at home)●
I will write this out according to my schedule.
(At the same time, I will also quantify my feelings and physical state on the day, asking 'How do you feel?')
My husband supports me, so even when I am busy, he doesn't say anything, and since I prepare meals in advance even when I'm away, I used to think, 'I've made the food, so that's fine.'
But when I wrote it out as a KPI (Happiness Index), I realized that it's not about 'making food,' but about having the 'leisure to talk' that is important^^
Since I know my schedule in advance, I can think about recovery if I have a busy period.
If I'm tired, it's okay not to cook, and it's okay not to eat together due to time constraints, but I unconsciously adjusted my behavior to ensure we have the 'leisure to talk.'
●Best mix of emotions and thoughts, choosing and changing actions for the better
The phrase above summarizes 'What is EQ?', but at first, while I understood it in my head, it didn't really click.
Honestly, as my actions became habits, I often forgot to track the KPI, so I took a break for a while.
But it's important, so I'm restarting it^^
The family happiness index and 'why we do it' are important, aren't they?^^
My practice, whether it's TOC or anything else, starts with small examples from my life and family.

EQ is defined as the ability to effectively blend emotions and thoughts, and Six Seconds is a global network that explores and provides tools and methods to create change in each individual based on scientific and global standards.
Six Seconds' details are here.
Regarding EQ, I am still very much in the process of learning. (I will be able to be of some help after completing the EQ Assessor certification seminar after March next year.)
Takuramiya Boss, Shigeo Morimoto, is ahead of me. Please contact him directly for details^^
The person who gave us the opportunity to encounter EQ and the trigger for family KPIs was Yasuhiko Nakamura (Yasu-san)^^
Yasu-san's contact information is here
So this is what it means for others to change because I changed...💓
Thanks to EQ, smiles and peace of mind have come to my family—very positive changes have occurred😊

We are currently accepting applications for the 12th term of the 'Three heads are better than one' TOC course💓

You can participate from anywhere in the country😊
← No location restrictions!
Many people say they can't find a block of time to learn.
← Then, let's break it down into small, continuous sessions!
You want opportunities to learn repeatedly, right?
← Then, let's make it so you can observe and retake the course as many times as you like!
It's hard to introduce it to the company even if you learn it alone.
← Then, let's make it easier to practice with small weekly assignments!
I want to increase the number of friends who share 'smiles and peace of mind' through TOC♪
