Improve your performance and wellbeing with Search Inside Yourself

In support of UBC’s commitment to workplace health and wellbeing, we are bringing back a unique professional development opportunity for UBC Vancouver and Okanagan faculty and staff: the Search Inside Yourself program.

Developed at Google and founded in neuroscience, Search Inside Yourself (SIY) will take place at 9 a.m. on February 22 via Zoom. SIY is a two- and half-hour training program that uses emotional intelligence and mindfulness to optimize performance, build leadership skills, and increase wellbeing. 

The interactive program includes: 

• An introduction to the neuroscience supporting mindfulness and emotional intelligence 
• Foundational exercises to focus attention, calm the mind and develop emotional awareness 
• Practical workplace applications to support participants in greater self-awareness and enhanced ability to respond to stress and challenge more deliberately 
• A highly interactive experience with one-third a presentation and remaining time a series of hands-on exercises  
• Taught by SIY-certified instructor: Belinda Chiu  

The event is free and open to all staff and faculty at UBC Vancouver and Okanagan. Spots are limited and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

What previous participants reported in the post-training survey: 

• 100% of participants would recommend the SIY program to a colleague 
• Participants reported a 17% increase in self-awareness and 31% more participants reported that they feel that they can bounce back quickly after an emotionally challenging situation 
• 88% of participants reported increased ability to remain calm in challenging situations
