The Breathing Advantage
29-Oct-2026
You breathe thousands of times a day. But could the way you breathe be affecting how
you sleep, think, and perform?
Join us for The Breathing Advantage with globally recognised breathing expert,
bestselling author and TEDx speaker Patrick McKeown, in a practical and transformative
session exploring how the way you breathe can influence three foundations of sustained
performance: sleep, attention and nervous system regulation.
For high-performing leaders, this is not a soft skill. It is a daily performance lever hiding in
plain sight.
YPOers will explore how dysfunctional breathing patterns can affect sleep quality,
including snoring, insomnia-like symptoms and sleep-disordered breathing, and why
better sleep matters so deeply for judgment, resilience and emotional control.
From there, the session will examine how breathing interacts with stress physiology, decision fatigue and reactivity under pressure.
This session will not stay theoretical. You will learn simple breathing practices you can use
immediately — before sleep, during a demanding day, in a difficult conversation, or when
you need to regain focus.
By attending this event, you will:
• Learn a simple breathing technique for sleep, focus, calm and recovery.
• Understand how breathing and sleep quality affect energy, judgment and
resilience.
• Explore practical ways to reduce reactivity and restore composure under pressure.
• Discover how better breathing can support attention and concentration when it
matters most.
It starts with a breath.
