World EQ Day: A Global Day for Connection

By Patty Freedman | VP Social Impact

Making EQ Visible — Together!

We had a impact goal for World Emotional Intelligence Day on June 6 — 100 posts on social media to make emotional intelligence visible in the world. We wanted to raise awareness and spark conversation about the power of emotional intelligence. And the result?

165 posts and reposts. 730,600+ views. One inspiring day.

Thank you to everyone who took part in #EQDay, sharing real, heartfelt moments of emotional intelligence in action. People posted personal stories, favorite tools, photos of POP-UP Festivals and EQ Cafés, and reflections on the role of EQ in their lives and work.

We asked: Will you participate in EQ Day next year?
100% of respondents said yes — absolutely. That’s a powerful vote of confidence in this shared movement.

And what helped them take action? Responses highlighted the value of our community support, templates, email prompts, reminders, and the inspiring stories shared across the network. One person said:

  • “I enjoyed the build up to #EQ day and was excited to participate and be a part of it”
  • “The suggested wording and visuals made it so easy to join in — I felt part of something meaningful.”
  • “I loved the NL and POPUP community where people post, share and cheer each other on and amplify this movement”


But most importantly, what did it mean to those who joined? Here’s what we heard:

  • “It felt great to be part of a community with a shared goal to help others and make the world a better place.”
  • “I felt inspired, responsible, empowered, grateful, proud.”
  • “It’s my small action to add to the vision of Six Seconds.”
  • “Making noise on the same day globally... I loved feeling that oneness.”

We’re already planning for EQ Day 2026 and looking for new ways to engage even more people next year. Because growing emotional intelligence at scale isn’t just possible — it’s happening.

Thank you for being a part of this global movement.
Your support helps us spark new connections, share new stories, and bring emotional intelligence into the world; one post, one conversation, one action at a time.

With gratitude,
Patty
