Leading Under Pressure
A practical 60-minute experience for women founders, executives and leaders carrying high responsibility — and rarely having the space to fully switch off.
Hosted by femHIRE and The Well Zone, led by Tamara Vidovic, psychologist and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner.
You'll walk away with: a felt understanding of how pressure shows up in your body and mind, and simple somatic practices you can use immediately for more clarity and calm.

At femHIRE, we are constantly in conversation with women in senior leadership. We hear from successful, capable, ambitious women carrying enormous mental and emotional loads — constantly switched on, struggling to disconnect, replaying decisions long after the working day ends.
It made us rethink what it really means to support women in leadership. It cannot only be about helping women access opportunities and advance their careers. It must also be about helping them feel well while they lead.
That is what brought femHIRE and The Well Zone together.
You can be successful, capable and resilient — and still find yourself mentally alert long after work ends, carrying tension in your body, unable to fully enjoy the parts of life that should restore you.
This is not another productivity technique or stress-management tool to add to your list.
During this session, you will explore how pressure shows up in your nervous system — through your thoughts, emotions and body — and what changes when you learn to notice and respond to those signals, rather than automatically overriding them. You'll experience the difference between activation and a more settled state, and experiment with simple somatic practices for greater clarity, calm and balance.
The goal: more space within yourself to lead well, decide clearly, and still have something left for the rest of your life.
After the session we will serve tea and mingle for 30 minutes and then you have 30 more minutes to explore the recovery zone of The Well Zone to have a little retreat. Please bring a bathing suite if you wish to use the sauna and cold plunges. We provide towels.
