Karen McCown Chairman, Six Seconds Founder, The Nueva School Karen began her involvement with emotional intelligence when she founded the Nueva School (Hillsborough, California). In planning the school she met with educators, political & business leaders and Nobel Laureates to consider the educational needs of our society. She saw that the central foundation of a school should be not simply giving students knowledge, but giving them the opportunity to develop wisdom. She created the nation's first emotional intelligence curriculum, Self Science, a program she facilitated for nearly 3 decades. Karen has worked extensively with educators from around the country and around the world. She was honored as Educator of the Year by the California Association of the Gifted. She has presented at thousands of symposia & conferences. She has served on a broad range of trustee and advisory boards for social, emotional & mental health. Karen earned her MA at the University of Massachusetts.
