Keynote: The Road to Excellence: How to Prepare for High Performance
In today's world, so much of life has become results based & it’s detracting from our ability to perform at our best. We place excessive expectations on ourselves & we have slowly let our attention be consumed by things we can’t control. The opinions of others to overly dictate the way we think & feel, and whilst we worry solely about performance results, we are not present for the process where the real magic happens.
Too often, we are in hyperdrive, our thoughts & feelings are burning us out, and we are being left depleted and uninspired for high performance.
What do we need to shift to get back into the game of high performance?
Nam's keynote shares stories of incredible humans whose journeys took them from debilitating low-performance states to making this shift to being their best selves and ultimately becoming world champions, Olympic gold medalists and the top 1%ers in their craft.

Workshops: Breath Enhancement Training
Breath Enhancement Training (BET) is our internationally renowned flagship program, developed originally to help big wave surfers deal with the anxiety and pressure of being held underwater for extended periods of time. Fast forward 17 years & thanks to many world class athletes and entrepreneurs sharing their insights with us, the program has now been adapted for all walks of life.
Just like pro-athletes, corporate professionals work under considerable pressure & the stresses and expectations affect the body and mind in the same way, so learning the skills that support us, especially when under significant or prolonged pressure will have a remarkable effect on mindset, performance and ultimately, well-being and happiness.
The knowledge and techniques shared can be easily applied and will lessen each individuals day to day experience of overwhelm, anxiety and pressure. We’ll also be covering what needs to be in place to ‘switch off’ after a demanding day, supporting one’s mental health & another of our most important health pillars - sleep quality.
Breath Enhancement Training has infiltrated the corporate world with a proud reputation of ‘excellence’ amongst super successful execs & companies. This particular workshop is remarkable at creating an immediate shift in how participants feel, mentally and physically.
FOCUS AREAS:
One area that stands out in the performance of the world-class many athletes and execs I work with is how they handle pressure, and this workshop helps to equip participants with the knowledge & understanding of how they respond to stress, pressure, and how they can improve the experience by using their breathing - the most effective ‘foundational’ performance practice. Being able to manage pressure better is handy in all walks of life, whether that means having the ability to stay calm when someone cuts you off in traffic first thing, improving your 5km run time, or managing your workload more effectively. It’s useful before, during & after any stress or challenge.
