Shaky to Steady in Under 2 Minutes
5 free guided practices for the high-pressure moments that matter
You’ve done the work. You’ve prepared. Your mind knows it.
But in the moments that matter, your body seems to forget. Your heart races, your voice tightens, your thoughts scatter. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve prepared if your nervous system hits the alarm.
These five guided practices help you come back to yourself fast, so the version of you that walks into the room is the one who did the preparation.
For moments like:
The big presentation
Your mid-year or year-end review
Presenting to the senior leadership team
Speaking up in a meeting where you’re not the most senior person in the room
Five guided audio practices, each under 2 minutes:
Ground your awareness: bring your attention out of your head and into the room.
Box breath: a steady four-count breath that calms your system.
Physiological sigh: the fastest way to bring your stress level down.
Unclench: release the tension your body is holding without you noticing.
Shake it off: clear the adrenaline so it doesn’t run the show.
From the mat to the boardroom
I co-founded one of Toronto’s top-ranked yoga studios before I found my way into leadership coaching, working with leaders at companies like Google, TELUS and JP Morgan.
What I learned: the practices that ground you on the mat are the same ones that steady you in the boardroom. And the faster work moves, the more you need them.
