For Coaches
Certify in the EQPlus® Motivation Profile.
The EQPlus® Motivation Profile is the diagnostic instrument at the core of Daphne Bernicker's advisory practice: the tool that surfaces what is constraining leadership fast, replacing months of discovery with immediate precision. Co-created with Six Seconds and used with leaders on six continents since its premiere in 2020, it is the diagnostic foundation of her advisory engagements.
The EQPlus® Certification Program makes this instrument available to a select group of certified coaches who want to bring the same diagnostic depth and speed to their own clients. If you are an ICF-certified coach or hold an equivalent credential, and you work with leaders who are serious about growth, this program was built for you.
Daphne Bernicker · Proprietary & Proven
The EQPlus® Motivation Profile was co-created with Six Seconds and premiered in 2020, drawing on Daphne Bernicker's 16 years of advising CEOs and senior executives. It is not a generic assessment. It is a purpose-built diagnostic instrument for leadership development.
01
Immediate differentiation
Some coaches rely on conversation alone. The EQPlus® profile gives you a structured, measurable diagnostic that sets your practice apart from the first session.
02
Ongoing licensing
Certification includes the right to administer the profile on an ongoing basis, not a one-time use. It becomes a permanent instrument in your coaching toolkit.
03
Taught by the creator
You are learning the instrument directly from the coach who built it, with full access to the interpretive depth, nuance, and application methodology that only the creator can teach.

- Conduct professional, structured debrief sessions that create immediate insight
- Interpret motivational profiles to identify leadership blind spots and growth levers
