How You Breathe is How You Lead

Leadership isn’t just about strategy or confidence. 

It’s about your inner state.

In this short and powerful episode, Melissa T shares the most overlooked leadership capacity: your ability to regulate your internal state -especially under pressure. 
You’ll learn how your nervous system influences how others experience your leadership, and walk away with a science-backed breathing technique you can use in meetings, high-stakes conversations, or daily leadership moments to increase clarity, presence, and influence.

You’ll learn:

• Why regulation trumps reactivity
• How to shift your energy in under 60 seconds
• A simple breath technique (Coherent Breath) to centre yourself and lead with intention

Listen, breathe, and reflect.

Because how you breathe is how you lead.

Key Takeaways

• Presence is power -but presence begins with regulation.
• Most leaders underestimate the impact of their internal state.
• You influence the emotional field of a room whether you’re aware of it or not.
• Coherent breathing is a quick and powerful way to access clarity and calm.
• Leadership isn’t just about what you do, it’s about the energy you bring to every interaction.
