SIY Global

What SIY Global does

SIY Global, PBC is a San Francisco-based Public Benefit Corporation that delivers emotional intelligence and mindfulness-based leadership development programs to enterprise organizations worldwide. The company's portfolio is anchored by two flagship curricula: the proprietary Emotional Dynamics™ model and the Search Inside Yourself program, which was originally created at Google in 2008 by engineers working with leading neuroscience and mindfulness researchers. Program offerings span foundational EQ, team effectiveness, change management, conflict resolution, innovation, and multi-generational workforce challenges, delivered through instructor-led workshops, a 2-day retreat (The Trust Opportunity), and bite-sized Micro-courses. A Science-Advisory Board comprising researchers from the University of Miami, Brown University, and Mount Sinai provides ongoing methodological validation.

SIY Global monetizes through three channels: professional services delivery of facilitated programs to enterprise clients, content licensing (SIY Global License) that enables internal L&D teams to deploy proprietary content and digital assets, and Facilitator Certification programs that have produced 1,000+ certified internal trainers. The customer base is concentrated in large enterprise accounts across diverse industries (technology, financial services, insurance, automotive, healthcare, consumer goods, and aerospace) and spans 20+ countries with named deployments including SAP, Google, Allianz, Toyota FS, Capital One, Cox, Pepsi, Saab, and Equinix. No funding rounds, institutional investors, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed; the company appears to be bootstrapped with a headcount of 11-50 employees and a supporting operations presence in India.

• Dale Carnegie Training: Established global corporate training company with deep footprint in leadership, communications, and people skills — directly comparable target customers and delivery model to SIY's enterprise leadership offerings.
• LinkedIn Learning: Enterprise-scale learning platform with thousands of soft-skills and leadership courses sold via LinkedIn Talent Hub. Competes for L&D wallet share, especially for self-paced learning budgets complementary to SIY's facilitated model.
