emotions are the most powerful force in business

Emotions drive every decision, conversation, and action at work. Yet, in the rush of day-to-day operations, the emotional landscape is often unmanaged, creating friction and miscommunication.

Can you imagine how your organization would run if your leaders and teams could understand and manage emotions more effectively?

By recognizing and harnessing the power of emotions, your organization can boost engagement, build stronger multi-gen teams, and foster resilient leadership that drives performance. That's why a more emotionally intelligent culture will become your competitive advantage.

a better way to train emotional intelligence

Traditional methods of emotional intelligence training focus on surface-level techniques, such as instructing people to “show empathy.” But they don’t truly teach people how to recognize and manage emotions. 

At SIY Global, we take a different approach that goes deeper for more lasting results.

Originally developed at Google, the Search Inside Yourself (SIY) program was designed to help smart people achieve more by managing their stress, focus, and emotions. We worked with the world’s top minds to create a program built on neuroscience and attention training (also called mindfulness) to help leaders and their teams:

  • Develop a strong foundation of self-awareness
  • Master techniques to navigate emotions with clarity and calm
  • Cultivate resilience and focus under pressure

what learners say after our programs

At the end of the day, what really matters is the impact that the program had on people. 
Here's what learners tell us happened for them during the Search Inside Yourself Program:

"I re-connected to my humanity, the value of human connection, and the need for me to be present in my interactions with other people."

"I was apprehensive about the program, and was pleasantly surprised. The breathing method, mindful listening, being present - all tools I can apply in my everyday life."

"The compassion exercise helped me to look at my colleagues as fellow human beings that also have the same challenges as I do, want to be happy as I do, etc., instead of seeing them as competitors."

"The practices of mindful listening helped me realize I am very often trying to rush through conversations instead of really sitting quietly and being in the moment."

“The fact that we learned so many different tools and the knowledge around it to apply in our day to day professional and personal lives is absolutely priceless. I am convinced that it will create better and more people centered relationships. I think this training should be a given within [my company]."

"I think learning to effectively communicate was valuable to me. The exercise where we communicated a challenge to our pattern, and they had to repeat back how we felt really made me shift my perspective and forced me to put myself in that person’s shoes."

"It was a wonderful time to reflect, recharge, and connect with colleagues…Before the program, I was skeptical, but I was very surprised at how apt, relevant, and helpful the tools would be for inside and outside of the workplace."

"I realised how small things like taking a deep breath before doing anything can have a huge impact on the way we behave."

Emotionally intelligent leaders inspire trust, empathy, and innovation—qualities that today’s teams need to excel.

2. Strengthen Team Dynamics

Build cohesive, high-performing teams by fostering emotional connection, creating psychological safety, and improving communication.

Employees who manage emotions effectively are more focused, productive, and motivated to contribute to the organization’s success.

4. Build Resilience to Thrive During Change

5. Drive Performance

FAQs

Here are some of the common questions we hear from HR and L&D professionals. 

Q1. How is your EI training different from other programs?

A: Our program is uniquely built on neuroscience and attention practice (sometimes referred to as mindfulness). This unique approach helps people to not simply learn “what to do,” but rather, to gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, how they are affecting their work, and how to manage those emotions through attention training. With this deeper sense of self-awareness, they can then practice how they empathize with others’ emotions and choose actions that improve their interpersonal effectiveness.

Q2. Are your programs flexible?

Yes! We offer flexible training formats tailored to your organization’s needs, whether you’re looking to develop individual leaders, improve team collaboration, or enhance your entire workforce’s emotional intelligence. We also offer flexibility in modality, with options for in-person or virtual live learning, as well as micropractices, microcourses, and other digital learning.

Q3. Who is the training designed for?

SIY Global offers emotional intelligence programs designed for individuals, teams, managers, and senior leaders. We will work with you to design learning journeys that address your specific context for each of these groups.

Q4. How can I scale this program across the organization?

Our programs are specifically designed to scale, creating bigger impact as you create not just more emotionally intelligent individuals, but an emotionally intelligent organization. One of the important ways that we help you do that is by training teachers within your organization.

Q5. How does EI training integrate with my other development initiatives?

Emotional intelligence is a foundational skill that supports other skills training. For example, we know that leaders are able to perform behaviors like communicating, delegating, coaching, influencing, etc. significantly better when they are more aware of and able to manage emotions (their own and others'). 

One of the reasons our approach to training EI is particularly important is that we help people override what's called the "amygdala hijack." In short, the amygdala hijack is what happens in the brain when we are under stress, and it overrides more rational approaches in favor of doing what is quickest, easiest, and most familiar. If you don't help people learn to control this process, other training tends not to work because people ignore it as soon as they are under stress.

That's why we recommend positioning EI training as foundational to other development initiatives, although it can be a helpful tool at any time.
