Participants: The SIY Organizational Teacher Certification has been designed for employees who are interested in becoming certified to teach emotional intelligence, mindfulness and effective leadership inside their organization.
One person or a group of people from each organization can apply to participate. We recommend having two to five participants as the SIY program is co-taught by two teachers.

Build the skills needed to navigate a new world.
Facing ongoing uncertainty, high levels of stress, macroeconomic conditions, trends around automation, the shift to remote working, talent retention demands, high competitive pressure and many other business challenges, the need for core human skills at work is more important than ever before. Emotional intelligence, mindfulness and effective leadership help to build future-ready cultures that can thrive through ambiguity and change.
