Modern Mind Labs

Seattle, WA

Modern Mind Labs is a Seattle-founded, globally minded practice built on one belief: emotional intelligence is a skill, and skills can be learned. Co-founded by business and life partners Tay & Val, queer immigrant women originally from Singapore, the studio brings a genuinely intersectional lens to the way people work, lead, and connect. Having lived as part of an ethnic majority in one country and as a minority in another, they understand belonging from the inside out, and they bring that perspective to every room they facilitate. We help companies create workplaces where people can be centered, self-aware, and honest with one another. Our work spans three core areas. For teams and B/ERGs, we design custom programs that deepen trust, strengthen feedback culture, and give groups practical language for collaboration. For executives and emerging leaders, we offer one-on-one emotional intelligence coaching that builds empathy and steadiness under pressure. And through consulting and workshops, we partner with organizations navigating change, growth, and culture-building. Along the way we share simple, memorable tools our participants actually use, from taking three deep breaths to reset, to "Flush Your Bubble" for letting go of stress before it spills onto the people around you. As certified teachers of the globally recognized Search Inside Yourself program for mindfulness-based emotional intelligence and leadership, we ground everything we do in research and lived practice rather than buzzwords. Our approach is wellness-based, DEIB-informed, and culture-coherent, meaning we tailor each engagement to who a team really is, not a one-size-fits-all template. To date, more than 100,000 people across diverse communities have experienced our work, and we have partnered with organizations including Amazon, Booking.com, and VMLY&R across the USA, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Modern Mind Labs is a certified LGBTBE (NGLCC), Minority Business Enterprise (NMSDC), and Washington State OMWBE business, and we are proud of what those credentials represent: a company that reflects the range of people it serves. Whether we are working with a small leadership team or a global enterprise, our aim is the same, to close the gap between the person you are and the leader, colleague, and human you want to be. If you are looking to build a workplace that feels more emotionally intelligent, more inclusive, and more human, we would love to help.
