She is a certified Search Inside Yourself facilitator since 2015 and has brought this program to different countries and many corporate organizations and tech start-ups, like SONY, PVH and ING.

“This is a time to re-connect with our true essence and each other. When we understand ourselves better and operate from what is truly most important, what emerges and unfolds is really amazing. Everybody has the innate capacity for inner peace, creativity and heartfelt joy.”

Through her own experience with mindfulness, Simone began to realize that outstanding leadership and collaboration starts within. It starts by being more present and self-aware, by managing our emotions more skillfully, by having an open mind and open heart to better connect with others. To help people grow these inner qualities, Simone started her own company, Serene Minds, in 2019 working part-time as a leadership trainer & coach. She became a Search Inside Yourself Certified Trainer in 2019 and has been teaching this impactful mindfulness-based emotional intelligence program in companies such as Shell, Philips, ING, and Exact.

“Simone has been more than a facilitator. She has been the guiding light taking the group through the incredible journey of understanding what mindfulness is and how practicing could have an extremely positive impact in our lives. We felt grateful to have the opportunity to learn from her experience. She has demonstrated such a professional and, at the same time, such a human approach, that we forgot we were in a training session. It has been really a life changing moment for most of the people in the room and we will be always thankful for having the opportunity to meet her.”

SONY EUROPE
In a modern company culture, mindfulness has an important role to play in associates health and company achievements. Simone has helped us to roll-out the Search Inside Yourself program and supported us in the success we have seen with the sessions. The program is packed with scientific findings to illustrate the benefits of mindfulness and emotional intelligence. It has been exciting to work with Simone to realize how powerful mindfulness can be in a work environment. Simone always comes with great positivity, ready to improve the processes and fresh ideas to ensure the best outcome. We have educated more than 300 participants in PVH and heard a lot of positive feedback from associates, many seeing the program as a gift.
