This one runs as a masterclass: Zsombor Szabo takes your colleagues through the research and the thinking behind it, with live questions throughout.
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.
All sessions by Zsombor →This practical and science-backed masterclass explores how pressure affects performance - and what the highest performers actually do differently to stay clear, focused, and in control when it matters most. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral research, and insights from working with 100+ companies, Zsombor introduces the 3R Performance Model - Regulate, Recover, Reframe - a framework for managing pressure in real time and over time.
Participants learn why stress quietly degrades decision-making, working memory, and focus, and leave with simple, usable tools that take only 60 seconds to reset and perform better under the conditions modern work actually demands. The session includes a 12-minute interactive guided breathing session with 3 simple breathing techniques for common work situations.
During the session, Zsombor engages the audience through a 12-minute live breathwork practice, guided self-assessment moments, real-world case studies, and reflection prompts. Participants experience the tools firsthand rather than only hearing about them.
This highly practical, science-backed masterclass tackles one of the defining challenges of modern work: how to perform under sustained pressure & stress - without burning out. Drawing on neuroscience, conversations with 100+ company leaders, and the experience of his team delivering nervous system regulation workshops to 20,000+ employees, Zsombor unpacks why pressure quietly erodes focus, decision-making, and working memory — and why willpower alone isn't enough.
The session is built around active participation. Participants engage in guided self-reflection to identify their own stress triggers, explore the science of stress - including the Yerkes-Dodson Law and the role of the nervous system - and experience a 12-minute live guided breathwork practice, with stress reduction measured in real time and before-and-after results shown on-screen.
The techniques are designed for real work moments: calming the nerves before an important meeting, easing the struggle to fall asleep, or restoring focus during the afternoon dip.
Zsombor then introduces the 3R Performance Model - Regulate, Recover, Reframe - a clear framework for managing pressure in the moment and protecting capacity over time. Attendees leave with a deeper understanding of their stress response, a 1-minute reset for high-stakes moments, and a practical framework for sustaining performance under real workplace conditions.
No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.

A masterclass. Zsombor Szabo takes your colleagues through the subject and the reasoning behind it, and answers live questions. It is practical in what people take away, without the hour turning into an exercise class.
It is interactive, and the block higher up on this page says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Zsombor, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English / Hungarian. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
