Calm And Clear under pressure – six weeks of breath training In A Peer Group

As a leader, you're expected to think most clearly when the stakes are highest: in a board meeting, a tense negotiation or a decision that affects your whole team. But when the nervous system is on alert, access to our best thinking, judgment and relational skills narrows. Breath is one of the most direct ways to shift that state.

Over six weeks, you'll learn to notice when pressure is shaping your decisions, calm your nervous system within minutes and build a steadier baseline for demanding weeks. You can use these skills right away before a high-stakes presentation, in a difficult conversation with your team or investors, and when you need to decide under uncertainty.

This program is the first part of my Nervous System Intelligence program, which I teach to founders, executives and leadership teams. In the open cohort, you train live with me and a group of fellow leaders, with support for your daily practice in between sessions.

What you get

Who this is for

• Founders and CEOs navigating uncertainty and high-stakes decisions
• Senior leaders and managers leading teams through change
• Consultants working with demanding clients and complex stakeholder relationships

If your days include constant context-switching, high information load and charged conversations, this program is for you.

The six weeks

• Week 1: Breath and body awareness
• Week 2: Foundations of functional breathing
• Week 3: The science of breathing out
• Week 4: The full breath
• Week 5: Slowing down
• Week 6: Fast breath and the pause

About 2 hours a week for the theory, live practice and Q&A, plus 5–20 minutes of daily practice with the app. You join online from wherever you are, so it fits around a leadership schedule. No prior experience needed.

Each week builds on the one before. By the end, you'll have a full repertoire of breath techniques for calm, focus and energy, and a daily habit that holds up in your busiest weeks.

The program teaches no intense hyperventilation techniques, and breath holds only come in week six, with clear guidance. If you're pregnant or have a heart, respiratory or seizure condition, check with your doctor first and skip the breath holds.

Investment and next cohort

The investment is €900. I run open cohorts once or twice a year, and the next one is planned for spring 2027.

Once the dates are set, I'll email everyone on the notification list first with the schedule and registration link. Joining the list is free and doesn't register you for the program, so you decide then whether to join.
