Program Overview

Search Inside Yourself program takes an evidence-based approach, combining Neuroscience, Mindfulness training and Emotional Intelligence. The program provides very practical tools, which are immediately applicable in life and work. It starts with a foundation of Mindfulness and, from there, builds on the key areas of Emotional Intelligence that lead to greater well-being, sustained performance, collaboration and outstanding leadership.

Program structure

SIY is much more than a training program. It is a "journey" to acquire new habits

It starts with live training (on-site or online) followed by a four-week online "journey" ("28-day challenge") to consolidate new habits. It ends with a webinar of a couple of hours in which we reconnect, review what we have learned, share tips and establish a plan to continue.

The program is practical, transformative and highly interactive, with 1/3 lectures and 2/3 practicals, including highly experiential exercises, both individual and in pairs, trios and groups.
