Mad Mex founder Clovis Young turns to his breathing when he needs to sharpen his focus or transition from one task to the next.
Mr Egberts hosted a one-hour breathwork session on both days of the conference, and followed the second session with an ice bath challenge that about a third of the 120 attendees opted into. “As a business leader, it’s awfully hard to know when and where to get involved in people’s mental health,” Mr Young said. “Exposing people to tools you know can be beneficial for stress management seems like a good thing to do.”Mr Egberts has led more than 100 face-to-face workshops with employees from ASX-listed companies and introduced more than 3000 people to breathwork, ice experiences and free diving over the past 12 months.
“We hear that people can focus better, they can keep their concentration in one place more effectively, and they can make connections between ideas more easily,” Mr Egberts said.
