Option A [short]
Dear colleagues,
If the last few years have taught us nothing else, we’ve learned the importance of resilience. No doubt, there have been times when you’ve felt disconnected from your teammates, uncertain of your purpose or simply burned out. Through the highs and lows, thoughtful leaders and compassionate colleagues have helped me develop myself both professionally and personally.
That’s why I’m excited to invite you to a training that combines the tools of neuroscience, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. This skill set accounts for almost 90% of what sets high-performers apart from their peers. Originally developed at Google, the Search Inside Yourself program proves that emotional intelligence is a trainable skill that we can all incorporate into our teams to make work more pleasant, purposeful, and productive. You’ll walk away with tangible tools you can use right away to develop yourself as a leader and improve your work and your life overall.
<Optional, for skeptics> I realize that these topics can sound vague and perhaps soft. You’re busy and want to ensure ROI for your time. Check out the attached images to see concrete examples of business benefits that you can gain with the skills you’ll learn at SIY as well as a chart to address common concerns.

Option D [creative]
Dear colleagues:
If the last few years have taught us nothing else, we’ve learned the value of thoughtful colleagues and skilled leaders.
Humor me for a moment—call to mind someone who has supported you at work over the past few years. What does this person do to make you feel valued? How does this person communicate? How has this person changed the way you feel about your work or even your purpose?
What if we could all learn to have the emotionally-intelligent leadership skills of this person? How would the day-to-day experience of our workplace transform?
This new world of work presents us with an opportunity to be the leaders we admire. We have a chance to infuse our work with emotional intelligence to bring more purpose to our days and more skill to our output.
That’s why I’m inviting you to a Search Inside Yourself (SIY) training at <COMPANY> on <DATE/TIME>.
Originally developed at Google, the SIY program combines the tools of neuroscience, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence to help you develop essential leadership skills. You’ll walk away with tangible tools you can use right away to improve your work and your life overall.
