A 30-Second Breathing Hack for Better Meetings
A 30-Second Breathing Hack for Better Meetings
In this short Tea Break Coach video, I share a simple technique that can help you arrive in meetings feeling calmer, clearer and more focused.
I discovered this idea while training a cohort of executive coaches on one of my Association for Coaching aligned programmes. Although I am the tutor, one of the great pleasures of this work is how much I learn from the brilliant professionals who join the programme.
This particular tip came from Antonia at BeTalent, who shared a simple way to combine breathing with something you already do every day. It is a small habit that can have a powerful effect on your focus, your presence and the quality of your thinking in meetings.
If you are looking for a quick way to centre yourself before speaking, presenting or joining a virtual call, this is a technique worth trying.
