Search inside yourself leadership program
Originally developed at Google, in the Search Inside Yourself program we teach practical mindfulness, emotional intelligence and leadership tools to unlock your full potential at work and in life.
Search Inside Yourself takes an evidence-based approach combining neuroscience, attention-training and emotional intelligence. The program provides practical tools that can be applied immediately in life or at work. We start with a foundation of mindfulness, and build the core emotional intelligence domains that lead to outstanding leadership.
Search Inside Yourself starts with a live (online or in-person) training followed by a four-week online journey. It's highly interactive, including experiential exercises, dyads, group conversations, attention-training practices and writing activities.

self-compassion & compassion
In five modules, the program offers an in-depth examination on two key factors for successful leadership and abilities to cope uncertain circumstances.
Jeff Weinar, former CEO of LinkedIn, gives a glimpse on how compassion influences leadership here.
Self-compassion "this positive attitude towards life not only makes it easier to accept oneself as one is, but self-compassion can also act as a resilience factor, in that everyday adversities are better accepted and thus experienced as less stressful. ... However, scientific research shows that self-compassion makes people more creative and helps them combat vulnerability to depression."
