Mindfulness training group

EXPERIMENTAL

Behavioral: Search Inside Yourself (SIY) program

Wait-list Control Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Behavioral: Search Inside Yourself (SIY) program

Interventions

Search Inside Yourself (SIY) program BEHAVIORAL

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.
