leadership that
breathes*
* a leadership learning party
on Wednesday 22 October
Leadership feels tight: crowded agendas; performative connection; doing over being.
The result? Leaders who are capable but constrained. Purposeful but exhausted.
​
The world needs a more expansive approach to leadership, grounded in neuroscience and collaborative play.
​​
Leadership That Breathes is not your typical workshop or retreat. It’s a temporary alternative world designed to reawaken something essential in how we lead.
Expect space to move, connect, reflect, and be surprised.
We’re curating facilitators, artists, and experiences that bring presence, perspective, and possibility back into leadership.
​
27% workshop; 39% discovery immersion; 23% party; 11% TBD!
​​Bring a colleague and tell your boss it's professional development. Because it really is. We promise ;-)​​
Breathe into your own creative leadership rhythm.
Pause and Play and Systems Collaboration Partners presents a dynamic immersion into the art and neuroscience of collaborative leadership.
​​
You'll be guided and supported by Elena Kingston-Bedford and Benny Callaghan, along with other dynamic speakers and facilitators.
​
WHEN: Wednesday 22 October 2025
WHERE: Smoked Garage, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane
You'll meet people you wish you knew 10 years ago: leaders, facilitators, change-makers, and curious humans who want to lead and collaborate with more intention, space, and courage.
You'll return to work re-energised for another round; thinking about leadership in a more breathable way.

PARTNERING WITH
PAUSE AND PLAY
A pause, used well, allows for proper consideration to be given, and then more constructive responses to colleagues, team members, and the wider environment which leads to better performance, growth and a greater impact.
​
Humans connect, learn and perform better when there is permission to play. Play and playfulness is actively invited into learning and engagement spaces.
