FounderFuel Show: Take back control in tough moments with breathwork expert Kasia Kirkland
You’re invited to the FounderFuel Show with breathwork expert Kasia Kirkland exploring how we can perform and transform as founders by using our breath
Our breath has the power to positively transform our pitch performances, take back control when the shit hits the fan, and reset us to come back stronger - all in a matter of seconds. Since founderhood demands pace, context-switching and performances all day long, we owe it to ourselves to be using the tool that we carry with us all of the time. We just have to learn how to harness it.
So for this FounderFuel Show, we’ll be in conversation with breathwork expert, and startup veteran, Kasia Kirkland. We’ll dive into the science behind why breathwork works, and explore simple exercises that you can use to both pump-up for performance, calm-down when you need, and build your long-term resilience too.
As always with our founder-only sessions, we’ll be keeping it real - exploring the highs, the lows and the lessons along the way. Join this session to join the debate and ask your questions of Kasia.
