A Simple Breathing Technique to Help You Focus in Virtual Meetings

In this Tea Break Coach video, Dulcie shares a practical technique that can help you settle your mind and bring more focus to your meetings.

The idea came from a conversation during one of Dulcie’s executive coach training programmes. Participants on these programmes are already experienced professionals who come to develop coaching skills alongside their existing leadership expertise. As a result, the learning often flows both ways.

During one session, Antonia from BeTalent shared a simple breathing technique that she uses to help centre herself before meetings. The approach combines a short breathing exercise with an existing routine, making it easier to remember and apply in everyday working life.

This small habit can help calm the nervous system, improve focus and support clearer thinking when you need to be at your best.

If you often move quickly from one meeting to another, this technique offers a simple way to reset and arrive with greater presence and clarity.
