In this brief excerpt, Ashish Kothari advocates for a simple, one‑minute collective breathing exercise at the start of meetings. By encouraging participants to physically land in the present with their bodies and minds, the practice aims to shift the meeting’s tone and dynamically transform the room’s energy. He notes that this mindful centering has been applied with some of the world’s largest executive teams at Tiffin, resulting in noticeably improved dynamics and focus.

Just giving people a minute, a space to land with their bodies and their minds, right? Land with your minds. Bodies don't have a choice but to live in the present. But our minds can be all over the place. We can only breathe in the present and use breath just collectively as a team to just center and just notice that one minute, what that does to the meeting, right? It'll change the tone of it.
It would change the dynamic of the entire room. And at Tiffin, we did this with some of the, the biggest executive teams in the, in the world.
