  • Educators that seek to increase overall wellbeing in and outside of classrooms

Outcomes

SIY teaches mindfulness and emotional intelligence skills that facilitate strong collaboration, impactful leadership and overall sustained peak performance:

  • Resilience to bounce back from setbacks with a growth-oriented mindset which frames all experiences as learning opportunities for growth. According to the Harvard Business Review, managing stress over the long-term requires cultivating resilience skills before seeking external solutions so that you can frame changes, stresses, and challenges into opportunities.
  • Mindfulness which is the underpinning of emotional intelligence. According to leader in the field of emotional intelligence, Daniel Goleman, the development of emotional intelligence relies on becoming more self-aware, which can be trained through mindfulness. Being aware and open in the present, enables stability of mind and insight into how you are feeling and thinking. Mindfulness cultivates thoughtful responses versus defensive reactions. 
  • Emotional intelligence for strong collaboration, alignment and impactful leadership. The ability to recognize your own and other people's emotions and use this information to guide wise thinking and behavior. Workplace studies show that emotional competencies predict performance, leadership effectiveness, and well-being.
  • Head space which is fundamental to creative and innovative thinking. Jon Kabat-Zinn, the American professor emeritus of medicine and the creator of the Stress Reduction Clinic and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School - argues that one of the real barriers to developing creativity is our lack of training in the "deep interior capacities" of attention and awareness. As we grow in mindfulness through meditation and openness to our life and our world, we can cultivate the power of silence and stillness to access our innate imagination and creativity.
  • Empathy to connect and communicate more effectively by learning to attune to the emotional undertone in relationships. According to Jamil Zaki, professor of psychology at Stanford University and author of "The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World," research indicates empathic workplaces tend to enjoy stronger collaboration, less stress and greater morale. 


Incorporating all of these traits into regular practice creates a positive emotional and mental state which is the foundation of impactful and inspiring leadership.
