We all breathe 20,000 times a day, but most of us do it unconsciously.
In this interactive 30-minute session, Paolo Pio will reveal how something as instinctive as breathing can become your most powerful performance lever. Breathwork is a dual practice: it can activate your body and sharpen focus when you need to perform, or decompress your system when you need to recover.
Participants will experience three complementary techniques: box breathing to find balance and focus, fast short breathing to elevate energy and readiness, and 4-7-8 breathing to slow down, reset, and restore calm. Along the way, Paolo will explain the science behind how breathing shapes your nervous system, heart rate, and emotional state.
Breathwork reminds us that the best performance tools aren’t always new or expensive; sometimes, they’re as old and simple as breathing. This is the session everyone will wish they hadn’t missed.
Unwind and connect at an exclusive aperitivo for family office professionals. In a relaxed, elegant setting, enjoy a glass of prosecco while engaging in meaningful conversations with peers and fellow decision-makers.
