The present project involves the delivery of the Search Inside Yourself (SIY) program. The SIY Program is organized into 6 thematic modules. The first module introduces mindfulness and emotional intelligence and provides scientific evidence for the benefits of practicing mindfulness. The second module introduces Self-Awareness. The remaining four modules cover other domains based on Daniel Goleman's original framework of Emotional Intelligence: self-management, motivation, empathy, and leadership. Each module is associated with a set of practices, such as focused attention, body scan, journaling, empathic listening, and a Leadership Commitment exercise. The program will be delivered over 4 weeks, with one 3-hour session per week for a total of 12 hours that will take to complete all the modules.
