The quality of your leadership is set by how you lead yourself. That’s a practice, and it’s the one thing you fully control.

Two days with the @officialtasacademy across Hobart and Launceston, delivering The Pillars of Self-Leadership,

The model I use with leaders, executive teams, elite athletes and whole organisations to build the capacity to perform under pressure and sustain wellbeing.

Story. Science. Skill. Trained in the body, experientially understood usable the same day: optimal breathing, awareness and mental energy, worked as one system.

I bring this to leadership offsites and retreats, sporting & corporate organisations and conference keynotes.

Most people think stress is the problem.
It’s not.

Stress is anything that costs energy.

The real question is whether your system has the capacity to meet it.

This is work I’ve been developing and delivering for years.

Helping leaders and teams understand how their nervous system, breathing and awareness shape performance under pressure.

When our response to stress runs unchecked it shows up everywhere.

Reactive decisions.
Mental fatigue.
Poor judgement.
Inconsistent performance.

But when people learn to regulate their internal state, stress shifts from threat to fuel.

Driving clarity, adaptability and performance.

It was great to deliver this work with Peterswald, the leading company in their market for nine consecutive years.

Nine years. Still investing in what gives them an edge.

Inside the session we explored three foundational pillars.

Awareness
Optimal Breathing Patterns
Mental Energy

Practical tools that allow people to regulate, recover and perform under pressure without burning out.

High performance isn’t about avoiding pressure.

It’s about building the internal capacity to meet it.

This is the work I’m passionate about bringing into organisations, leadership teams and conference stages.

Helping people develop the internal capacity required to lead and perform under pressure.

If you’re a leader, part of an organisation, or involved in events that value high performance and want this work inside your team or on your stage, reach out. by @ben_hamlett

A privilege to be invited to share my story of how I have used leadership, health principles and the practice of presence to overcome adversity.

Awesome to then share and educate on skills and tools to maintain well-being, forge resilience and leadership capacity to develop optimal physical and psychological health within high performance, high pressure environments.

The energy was high at the Australian Defence Force Academy with 1200 officers in training as I lead skill development in breath control, psychology, performance mindfulness, sleep hygiene and recovery practices.

What an awesome group of humans and tomorrows leaders of the Australian Defence Force! 💪🏽

You come in on one breath and you will leave on one breath,

I believe that The breath is our conduit from that deep inner presence of who we truly are,

And the connection to life,

So how will you breathe the breaths between your first and your last?

Our environment is constantly acting upon us as we act upon and Influence it ,

The environments and stimulus we interact with drives our quality of health and how we experience stress/stressors, emotions manage it navigate, adapt or are destroyed by it.

We can choose our breath and our health will choose our breath for us,

If You can cultive a foundation of breathing for optimal health, equanimity we can enhance the control and state of our nervous system to drive peak performance and well-being.

It’s a choice.

Mine is helping people to connect to their greatest levels of health, well-being and express your peak performance to enjoy the greatest quality of life!

Air Hunger.

This training with the mask adds load, the ski adds output, and the practice is to stay composed, calm.

Our experience of stress and pressure, and the outcomes we create, come down to our mental, physiological and personal qualities.

So too with how we experience air hunger.

Your brain’s stress circuitry overlaps with the circuitry that sense CO2. Carbon dioxide.

Performance Breathing training with exposure to air hunger gives us an opportunity to deliberately train our Stress & Pressure Resilience.

With a holistic approach to this

Physiologically, it builds the strength & function of your breathing muscles and your cardiorespiratory system.

Psychologically, it develops resilience, grit, equanimity, self-belief and confidence.

It’s an opportunity to develop our 6th sense interoception. Awareness as a skill that lets you catch unhelpful thoughts and emotions before they take over.

The benefits carry into Peak Performance, wellbeing and long-term foundational health.

Whilst a mask adds extra load, your Nose is all you need to start exploring.

The moment we set a target a challenge outside of our current comfort zone and take consistent action towards this journey

The darkness of our doubts make way for the light of our

Hum down , Tune out , Drop in.

In a world where we are always on - finding space and a moment of no thoughts is one of the most valuable commodities there are.

This is one of the fastest ways for you to shift your state into a parasympathetic state ( down regulation, integration , regeneration.

I’ve had everyone from military leaders to people with highly challenging ADHD symptoms report a sense of peace , space, focus and presence.

20,000 reps a day…

How do you breathe yours?

If you did 20,000 squats a day with poor form how would the state of your body be ?

Breathing a pattern of movement that isn’t just responsible for how tight your body feels but also how reactive and stressed your mind is.

With the leaders, teams and companies I’ve worked with all of them have seen improved outcomes in how they and their people feel, perform and show up.

Keen for the same for you or your team?
