About this Masterclass
Pressure is part of most jobs. The trouble starts when it never switches off: focus drops, decisions get harder, and people carry the stress home with them.
Performing Under Pressure is an expert-led masterclass built around a simple 3R model: Regulate, Recover, Reframe. Your team learns how stress shows up in the body and mind, then practises short techniques they can use before a big meeting, in the middle of a heavy day, or at the end of it. A short talk, guided exercises and live Q&A mean people leave with something they can use the next morning.
Meet your expert
Zsombor is a breathwork coach and corporate performance specialist with a background in high-pressure professional environments. After seeing how stress eroded performance across his teams - and in some cases led to burnout - without anyone having the tools to regulate it in real time, he turned to breathwork as a practical, science-backed alternative.
Inside the session
01 · THE THEORY
The session walks through real studies and data on how pressure affects attention, decision-making and recovery. No vague wellness claims, just what the evidence shows. The 3R model (Regulate, Recover, Reframe) turns it into one simple framework your team can use.
02 · THE PRACTICE
Tools you can use tomorrow
Guided exercises let people feel the research in action. Techniques like slow breathing and cognitive reappraisal come from studied methods. Participants leave with short resets for before a difficult conversation, during a heavy day and after work, and room to ask questions.
