Max Strom

Almost 90 percent of the CEOs or high-level executives that I’ve spoken with are living a lie. And what I mean by that is they put forth to their colleagues and employees that they have it all under control and everything is great. And they have this great project and they’re moving forward. But then they go into their office and they feel like they’re about to lose it.”

– Max

Introduction

Max’s parents taught him not to express pain, to deal with it and keep going. It came at a high cost because, as a grown man, he did not know how to talk about feelings. Max felt like he was “living in a prison made with his own hands”, and he was unable to get out until he discovered yoga. Soon he started a regular yoga practice that included high-level breathing.

Slowly there was a big change happening that he had not bargained for. His relationships improved, he learned more about breathwork and psychology. Over time, it improved his level of emotional intimacy and connection with people.

Max found his voice, the teacher and leader within, and developed two groundbreaking breathing methods: Breathe to Heal and Inner Axis. These techniques help you at home and at work. 

Practicing breathwork in business is important because we’re still human beings with emotions that manifest in our bodies. Intense stress gives us stiff muscles and disrupts our sleep. This means that our emotions come through the body, and if we want to perform well at work, we need to be in a superior state. If we’re running on empty, we’re going to be in a downwards spiral, and we’re going to crash and have a burnout or panic attack. 

“Breathing exercises can mitigate this and can regulate our emotions in this way. Therefore, to me, it’s critical that everyone learns them.”

Het New Female Leader boek

Het handboek voor nieuw leiderschap vanuit je eigen waarden

De afgelopen 2 jaar hebben we besteed aan het onderzoeken wat het nu betekent om als vrouw te leiden vanuit je authentieke zelf. Samen met jou zijn we op een zoektocht om uit te vinden wat het nu betekent om vanuit je eigen waarden te leiden in deze — nog steeds patriarchale — samenleving.

Inmiddels zijn we zo'n 70 gesprekken verder en is er een BOEK!  Zie dit boek als een handboek om je eigen definitie aan leiderschap te geven, waarbij we een model hebben ontwikkeld met handvatten hoe je dit nou het beste kunt doen. Het boek bevat tips van de rolmodellen, in combinatie met Caroline haar visie, analyse en wetenschappelijk onderzoek, zodat je tot je eigen authentieke vorm van leiderschap kunt komen.
