Testimonials

SIY program in English was conducted in China for the first time in December 2016 in Shanghai. There were 80 attendees from companies and associations such as PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), YUM!, Dow, National Football League (NFL), Harley-Davidson, American Chamber of Commerce Shanghai, Shanghai American School, China Business News Daily, Jiemian Media and Didi Chuxing.  
I would encourage any executive that is in a leadership role to consider enrolling in Search Inside Yourself as the benefits are truly transformational. Search Inside Yourself allowed me to harness the juncture between the 3 disciplines of Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness and Neuroscience. The practitioners are truly world class and they guided us through some life learning exercises that I still continue to practice to this date. Given my impactful experience, I look forward to being as much as a community member of Search Inside Yourself in China. 
 
Alex Font, 2017-2018 President, Shanghai Chapter of Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO)
As an educator, I am always on the look-out for tools and techniques to help equip our students to be more successful. I especially liked the way Search Inside Yourself  blended mindfulness with emotional intelligence training to help us not just learn a new skills but also to become better at observing ourselves. It also provided a wonderful pause in our busy schedules—something we all need.
Lastly, the workshop leaders were down to earth, sharing their own stories and realizations which enabled them to develop an authentic connection with the audience.
