UNLOCKING YOUR INNER AND OUTER GAME
At UnlockYourBlock we are obsessed with personal and professional growth. And we believe you can’t have one without the other. When you work with us, whether via one of our private programmes or courses or as an organisation, our job won’t be done until you are able to reach and sustain clarity, mental fitness, emotional balance and confidence on the inside so that you can show up in the world able to take laser-focused, consistent action to progress your career and life in the right direction, build and nurture rewarding relationships and manifest your creativity and genius in all your projects.
UnlockYourBlock runs transformational talks, workshops, courses, programmes, and retreats aimed at building sustainable change on the inside via building mental fitness and emotional self-regulation, whilst teaching and guiding you through the outer strategies you need to make big and bold career and life transitions.

Your E-Quity = Energetic Equity
We all accept that physical fitness is a pre-requisite for physical health and for facing physically demanding challenges. Equally, mental and emotional fitness are key to face life’s everyday challenges without stress and negative emotions. Our success in fact depends more on how well we can manage our mental and emotional energy than on our intellectual capabilities. When we build our mental and emotional fitness, our hearts and minds are working in alignment, and this place of Balance is the foundation needed to manifest any of our important projects. This alignment is scientifically recognised and referred to as a state of COHERENCE.
UnlockYourBlock provides practical and sustainable ways and tools to cultivate and manage our energy, transforming depleting emotions and thoughts that block us. This is called self-regulation. Like with most things in life, self-regulation is built with practice, by exercising the mental muscles that put us in a positive state. All it takes is a few minutes a day.
BOLD AND CONSISTENT ACTION: YOUR OUTER GAME
Whilst Inner Balance can be a goal in itself, that’s not where we stop. In fact, once we feel balanced and grounded the real fun begins! We can stop living on auto-pilot, pushing ourselves through jobs and careers that no longer motivate us and instead take control of how we spend our time and energy: doing something we truly love and find meaningful, surrounding ourselves with people that energise and support us, and feeling challenged yet confident we can do it.
All our programmes and courses will help you build the systems that empower you to take action everyday: whether towards a bold career change, launching and running a successful side hustle, or simply being more productive and balanced in your work and life. Tia, the founder, and UnlockYourBlock are not only about energy, but, as importantly, about the craft of directing that energy towards a purpose-full life.
2/3 of all job absenteeism is caused by stress: the pandemic has made burnout even more widespread
UYB equips you with simple self-regulation techniques that increase mental clarity and emotional resilience in the face of challenge. In addition, we work with organisations to address the root-causes of the problem.
70% of all mistakes are caused by miscommunication, leading to arguments, fallouts, breakups, financial losses and even deaths
You’ll learn simple steps to communicate more effectively and be in charge of your emotional reactions in daily conversations and tense situations.
The World Economic Forum says that ‘creativity’ is the third most important skill required in today's world, yet only 1 in 3 in today’s workforce consider themselves creative!
UYB helps you gain open, immediate access to your power to innovate in order to guide all your creative projects.
To succeed, Confidence matters as much as Competence
UYB’s strategies address the big confidence gap between genders, by working primarily with women. In the workplace, we help leaders (aspiring & established) step into their full power and take leadership of their own path first of all.
“I wish I had lived a life true to MYSELF...” is the Top 1 regret on one's deathbed

Take your E-QUITY Test
We spend a lot of time worrying about our ‘net worth’ (equity), carefully managing our monthly paychecks and making long-term saving and pension plans. We also pay increasing attention to our physical shape and health, regularly exercising and keeping track of our progress. However, often we pay no or little attention to our mental and emotional Balance: only if our energetic account is healthy on all levels can we feel Balanced and unfold our Vision and purpose in life, perform at our best and feel truly happy. Take stock and start building your ‘energetic equity’ today!
Why UnlockYourBlock & how do we help?
The founder has brought together her 17+ years Corporate career experience, reaching the peaks of Leadership & Innovation at the top global communication networks; 14 years of yoga & meditation as a student as well as teacher; and the very treasured learnings of the HeartMath® Institute. Since 1991, HeartMath® researches and develops reliable, scientifically based tools that bridge the connection between heart and mind and deepen people’s connection with others. HMI’s simple, user-friendly mental and emotional self-regulation tools and techniques provide benefits in the moment and over sustained periods.
Tia is a HeartMath® Qualified Trainer and Coach and her workshops, coaching programmes, online courses and keynotes fully incorporate all the learnings and teachings received from the Institute. She delivers live online training workshops and coaching sessions, as well as office based training.
The HeartMath® technology Tia demos in her sessions and strongly advocates for personal use in any journey of self-regulation and transformation is a bio-feedback technology, which offers the most tangible demonstration (see Natnalin’s testimonial below) of the power of control we can have on physiology, mind, emotions and life direction overall. It also helps teams and groups of any type work better together.
"Tia = Energy! She makes you join one of her creativity sessions by curiosity and you come out with unlimited inspiration, genuine ideas and plans and with the enthusiasm and tools to make them happen. Tia’s workshops are the best way to combine the intelligence of the mind with the intelligence of the heart."
Oana Georgescu, founder A L’EST DE PARIS
"Tia inspired me to go places. If it hadn’t been for Tia I wouldn’t be where I am now. If you’d like to go places and something is stopping you, have a word with Tia..."
David Marks, Freelance Teacher
"As an archetypal Rugby playing media geezer, I was a little bit skeptical about a Friday morning Meditation workshop... but Tia put all my cynicism away: it was not only fun and insightful, but also incredibly useful. So pack away your cynicism and enjoy!"
Nick Philips, Senior Sales Manager, Reuters
"I just attended your Wellness talk on Resilience (I was your heart rate guinea pig) - just to say Thank You, that was a really useful session!"
Perry Goodbody, EA, Dentsu
"I found the Resilience Factor talk by Tia Castagno EXTREMELY useful. The fact that meditation techniques are backed up by scientific research makes it all more appealing, and seeing a live demonstration also convinced me that I need to take care of my emotional, mental, spiritual health on top of my physical health even more."
