Use breath to elevate your business
‘What do you need?’ asked David, mentor and talent manager. ‘I don’t know’ replied the young talented trainee.
There is nothing more frustrating as seeing the ones you work with go downhill and not being able to help.
Determined to find out what she did need, the trainee went on a quest. To find out what she needed to get out of burnout. To thrive, feel vital and enjoy her work again and share her talents with the world.
Now, almost ten years later, she has created BreathWorks and offers you the tools to help your colleagues that ‘don’t know’. To help the teams that ‘don’t know’ how to move on when stuck. To help them to thrive, feel vital and enjoy their work together again, so they can share their unique talents and potential with your company and the world.
You want to work with BreathWorks when…

You are an aspiring person, you are a leader in or the owner of a business, striving to make the world a better place. You work hard and have the best intentions for yourself and the people you work with. You aim for yourself and your people to step into your personal leadership and use your talents.
02.
You want to make a lasting positive impact you can be proud of and are looking for ways to make your business even better. To motivate your people, to keep them healthy, happy and help them thrive in their own unique way. Because together you can reach so much more.
03.
Vitality, wellbeing, resilience and balance are themes in your business you want to pay more attention to. But it needs to be integrated with the day to day business you are running and not something that stands alone.
Mostly, you want to work with people that you trust. People that you can co-create with and that will unburden you and help you reach the ambitious goals you have.
What clients are saying
“As part of one of our global flagship leadership programs, Lisanne developed and delivered a module on “Vital Leadership” which was highly engaging and inspirational. The module was received very positively as it highlighted topics such as vitality and paying attention to mental & physical cues – which are not too often addressed in traditional leadership training programs – while always ensuring a very clear connection with business reality and applying the learnings in daily life. It was a pleasure working together with Lisanne, and I greatly appreciate her creativity, through preparation and planning, and her openness and approachability towards our program participants.”
“Talking and collaborating with Lisanne always makes you aware to take your breath before you continue. To take a moment to check what you are doing and why you are doing it. She facilitated a session for us what the impact of your breathing is during facilitating a session, and how you can use it to get a good result with the group. By her appearance she takes you with her on her journey what breathing and being aware of your body can do for you. Lisanne is able to meet the needs of the participants in her session. Organising the session went really easy, she knows what she is doing. Lisanne and professional go in the same breath.”
