Wall of love for Search Inside Yourself Program

John was a pleasure to work with. He was able to react quickly when we asked him to and also adapt to our needs in order to build the most relevant intervention for our team of 70 people. John is a caring coach, who knows his subjects and listens to his clients, to ensure an inspiring and friendly delivery in time

I heartily recommend SIY training. The best method to find the answer to your stressful work and life, training helps you find the balance and balance you need today. If you want to work with passion and not lose yourself, be sure to check SIY

John was really great to work with while setting up a company-wide training: very kind and emphathetic, professional and precise. I loved how he had the participants best interests & learning outcomes in mind when discussing the training lenght, format, etc. He was also extremely flexible in working around a couple of logistic roadblocks. Except for the smooth collaboration in bringing the training to life, I participated in the sessions myself and I can confirm they had a fine balance of theory & practice given in a good pace, as every theoretical chunk was soon followed by exercises that allowed us to absorb the topic more deeply and connect with some new colleagues as well. John really seems passionate about this subject matter, and I look forward to launching more wonderful projects in the future!

John is a kind listener whose guidance and patience invites you to listen to yourself with curiosity and compassion. During our work together he shared insights and tools that I still reflect on and that keep helping me in my personal exploration.

Great training that provided me with quite some tools to handle everyday life in a better, more mindful way. At the start I was quite skeptical about the meditation stuff but in the end the mediation exercises are the things I want to make part of my daily routine to have more focus and experience less stress.

Many thanks to John Puts and Armin Alibegović for taking us on a mindfulness and emotional Intelligence journey this week, which gave us a chance to breathe, reconnect, build empathy and compassion through the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI) programme for Kiron Open Higher Education. I can definitely recommend them to bring this to all organisations during these unprecedented times to enhance well-being, leadership, resilience and collaboration, leading to improved team performance.

It was a great experience! Well planned and organised, yet flexible enough to leave room to anyone to share their own feelings. It definitely helped me through this times and I am sure it will boost my resilience and motivation in the times ahead. Thank you John Puts and Connor Swenson for creating such a touching experience in a safe environment.

The SIY program that John brought to the Belastingdienst had a large variety of practices, ranging from very practical exercises to pretty challenging mindfulness approaches. The major upside about this diversity is that is serves everybody who attended the program. All the participants have taken elements from the SIY program and incorporated them in to their daily routines. In addition, is helps a team grow stronger, as you get to know your colleagues on a different level.

I've been really surprised about the density and richness, yet simple and pragmatic approach of training which I had the pleasure of doing in an online format over the course of 6 days. I really liked the combination of micro-practices, personal stories, breakout sessions, and scientific cases. John's calm and joyful style of facilitating has felt really great and perfect for such a training program.

Working together with John was an extremely powerful experience. We spend a lot of time thinking about the strategy and goals in our work life, but why not in our personal life? Our time together helped me define what was important to me and he provided me with the structure and tools to help me take steps towards it.

I had a wonderful experience being coached by John. He has a kind, warm and welcoming presence. He did an excellent job of creating a space and environment where I felt heard, safe and supported.  ​ John was able to help me identify and explore key behaviors and tendencies that I can work on and change to live a fuller and healthier life. I am very thankful and grateful for my time working with John and I would highly recommend him to any and all who are interested in diving deeper into oneself and want to expand their inner world.

The training was a great experience, better than I expected. Most meaningful topics for me were mindfulness, self awareness, emotional intelligence and empathy. They gave me good scientific evidence on what meditation/mindfulness brings you, and gave practical tools and how to connect with yourself and how to implement it into your daily life. They also gave good insights and practices on how to build more meaningful interaction with others. The training was insightful, had a good atmosphere, had a good balance between theory and practice, and I love the 28-day challenge afterwards so that you can adopt what you've learned even further.
