Meet Your Teachers

SIYLI’s amazing teaching community is expansive, global and diverse, representing a wide-range of industries and backgrounds. Our programs are taught by our highly qualified Certified Teachers, all of whom have attended our rigorous teacher training program.

Rafael Puebla

Rafael combines 25 years of international corporate experience and mindfulness practice. He has held leadership positions at Fortune 100 companies such as Mastercard and American Express, and he is a Certified Mindfulness-based Emotional Intelligence Teacher from the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute. He used to be what is called a “closet meditator” keeping his mindfulness practice completely separated from his corporate life, until he realized that the benefits of mindfulness should be shared at work, that’s why he created a mindfulness meditation practice at Mastercard (Latin America and Caribbean Regional Headquarters). Seeing first hand the positive impacts that mindfulness brought to the employees who joined the program, he felt inspired to fully dedicate his career to spread the practice of mindfulness at work. In November 2017, Rafael founded OnBeing Mindful ([OnBeingMindful.com](http://OnBeingMindful.com)) a leadership training and executive coaching firm focused on providing corporate mindfulness and emotional intelligence based programs grounded in neuroscience and research that lead to sustained peak performance, strong collaboration cultures, effective leadership, and happier workplaces. Rafael’s unique combination of international corporate experience and solid mindfulness practice allows him to work with organizations of any size to create the proper conditions for all team members to realize their full potential and become who they really are. A working environment, where they can operate with a deep sense of purpose and meaning, where the results are achieved with enthusiasm and work is a real source of personal fulfillment.

This program sounds interesting and I think this would be great for my organization. Do you work with organizations?

I’ve already attended SIY. What should I do now?

If you’re interested in building on what you learned, we encourage you to join another one of our programs, such as Adaptive Resilience and Effective Teaming. All of our programs share the common threads of mindfulness, neuroscience and emotional intelligence and teach different practices based on the subject matter.

We believe that there’s always room to continue to grow these leadership skills and that by attending multiple programs - or attending SIY again - you can expand your understanding and help reinforce what you’ve learned.

Will I receive a recording of the program?

What are the course expectations and technical requirements to join the program?

To fully participate and get the most out of the program, we recommend that you:

Attend all live sessions
Minimize distractions and unplug from other devices so you can give your full attention
Be in a private, physical space where you are comfortable sharing. The program is experiential and includes both breakout rooms and guided meditations. This means that a coffee shop or shared work room are not ideal

The program is held through an online video call platform, so in order to participate we recommend you have:

A private computer with internet access. The program is designed for each person to connect from their own device
A stable internet connection
A camera so that you are able to use video call functions

I’d like to join the program, but can’t make the dates. Are there other dates available?

I know that SIY has been accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). How do I obtain Continuing Coaching Education (CCE) credits for SIY?
