Established Leadership Programmes (Search Inside Yourself)
What is the Search Inside Yourself programme?
Originally developed at Google, Search Inside Yourself (SIY) takes an evidence-based approach that combines neuroscience, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. Through these disciplines, it helps participants to integrate key building blocks that can be applied at work and in life.
Who is SIY For?
Whilst SIY is effective for all, consider what the goal/vision of your organisation is…
Leaders/Managers - Upskilling the organisation. Model the benefits to the wider organisation!
Team - Specific teams/departments with challenges in this area
Employees - Promote as the company culture with the ripple effect!
Leaders and Managers
SIY teaches senior leaders and managers how to get breakthrough results in a way that is inspiring, engaging, and compassionate. Through enhanced self awareness and empathy, leaders learn to communicate better, strengthen relationships, and lead with greater presence and impact.
Employees
SIY started as an open-enrollment programme for any Google employee. The programme works well for any employee who wants to develop personally, increase their well-being, and be a better teammate.
Teams
When teams participate in an SIY programme together, they create a common language around emotional intelligence, which strengthens their communication and helps them navigate challenges successfully.
Accessible and Inclusive…
Programmes can be delivered in person or online. In person programmes available across the UK, online available globally.
Why now?
“…the pressures and challenges people are facing in the present world – both in and out of our working lives – … are leading us to becoming a “burned out” nation.”
The Burnout Report, Mental; Health UK, January 2024
“Stress continues to be one of the main causes of short- and long-term absence.”
Health and wellbeing at work Survey Report, CIPD (supported by Simplyhealth), September 2023
In a time of unprecedented levels of stress, overwhelm, and ongoing demands, it is critical for people and teams to have the tools and skills needed to meet the challenges of today’s working environments. Neuroscience and behavioural research studies continue to present evidence that both mindfulness and emotional intelligence provide the skills and capacities needed to improve resilience, collaboration, individual and team performance, sustainable well-being, and effective leadership.

Bio
Claire Boulby - Certified Emotional Intelligence and Mindfulness Teacher
Certified in Mindfulness and Emotional well-being, I am a Search Inside Yourself Teacher and Neurodiversity-Informed Mindfulness Practitioner, blending evidence-based approaches with holistic wellness strategies. My qualifications in Vinyasa Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Mindfulness underscore my commitment to creating inclusive, supportive spaces for personal and professional growth. Currently studying to become a mindfulness mentor, I combine lived experience with a passion for helping others build resilience, navigate change, and develop meaningful connections.
With over two decades of experience in a $34 billion global organisation, specialising in supply chain management (and Emotional Intelligence (EI) training, and well-being leadership during the latter years), I bring the lived experience of navigating the highs and lows of the oil and gas market while balancing the demands of a career and family life.
Based in Leeds, UK, my career includes serving as a Global Category Manager, where I negotiated multi-million-dollar contracts and managed an annual spend of over $30 million. While excelling professionally, I experienced burnout while juggling parenting and a demanding career. This pivotal moment led me to mindfulness, a life-changing practice that helped me to find balance and inspired me to empower others. Drawing from corporate experience, I transitioned into delivering EI and mindfulness programs, empowering more than 500 individuals globally over the past two years. The programs that I deliver enhance communication, offer tools and methods to manage stress, and cultivate environments of psychological safety, particularly in high-pressure, data-driven environments.
With a strong background in stakeholder management, change leadership, and continuous improvement, I believe that I have a unique combination of technical expertise and emotional intelligence that drives impactful results.
As the founder of The Powerful Pause, I collaborate with HR professionals and organisations to deliver tailored EI and mindfulness programs. My work aligns well-being strategies with business objectives, empowering individuals and teams to thrive in today’s fast-paced, dynamic environment.
“Search Inside Yourself was a doorway for me to get in touch with what's at my core, with depth of awareness. And it's from there that leadership skills can flourish.”
— Joyce Bao, Senior Product Manager at Fitbit
