Mindfulness Experience

The Search Inside Yourself program uses mindfulness as the foundational tool for building Emotional Intelligence. We believe there are many ways to practice mindfulness, including but not limited to a seated meditation practice, and we’d like to understand your personal experience with mindfulness practices and how mindfulness has impacted you.

What does mindfulness mean to you? In what ways do you practice mindfulness in your daily life?*

What does emotional intelligence mean to you? How do you apply/practice it in your work and life? *

Please describe your experience with meditation and mindfulness practices, including how long you have been practicing and how it has impacted your life. *

How do you aspire and commit to deepening your meditation and mindfulness practice? How might the SIY OTT experience support this?*

Facilitation Experience

Teaching SIY involves communicating wide-ranged and nuanced content, as well as facilitating a variety of exercises in a way that honors diverse experiences. We understand that there are many ways to facilitate and teach (not just giving formal PowerPoint presentations!) and would like to hear more about your experience doing so.

Describe your experience teaching or facilitating for groups within and/or outside of your organization (e.g. how many participants, audience, setting, type of content, duration of program, frequency, for how long, etc).*

Have you received any facilitation training? If so, please describe.*

Do you have training, certification, or experience in related fields that support your ability to teach the content or hold space for particular components of SIY? Please describe. *

What are your strengths as a facilitator? What are your areas for growth as a facilitator?*

We believe each teacher can bring their unique authentic self to teaching SIY. What could that look like for you?*

Bringing SIY to your Organization

A significant part of teaching SIY is being able to convey these practices and their impact from a lived and integrated personal experience, while having a desire to share with others to support positive impact in our organizations and beyond. We’d love to hear how you’ve integrated these practices into your own work and life, as well as the impact you aspire to have.

What is your vision for SIY in your organization and what impact do you hope it will have?*

What challenges do you foresee impacting your ability to complete the SIY OTT or to regularly teach within your organization once certified? *
