In this energizing special edition of RecTalk, recorded live at the TEAM Conference 2025, host Nitin Sharma sits down with transformational coach Michelle Flynn to explore the science and strategy behind breathwork and the elusive flow state—and why both could be the key to unlocking elite performance in recruitment teams.
Michelle kicks things off by guiding attendees through a calming breathwork session designed to combat fatigue and mental fog. She explains how these simple techniques regulate the nervous system and boost mental clarity—especially crucial for busy recruiters running on low sleep and high caffeine.
But it doesn't stop there.
Michelle shares how breathwork ties into achieving "group flow"—a collective high-performance state backed by McKinsey research showing a 500% boost in motivation. Whether you're a recruiter struggling with BD or an agency leader trying to energize your team, Michelle shows you how to trigger flow, reduce stress, and rewire your mindset for resilience and results.
Expect raw honesty, laughter, and some myth-busting as Nitin challenges the 'woo-woo' and Michelle brings it back to science, structure, and stats.
🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
What breathwork really is (and isn't)
The neuroscience behind flow state and why it matters in recruitment
How to use breathwork and time-blocking (like the Pomodoro technique) to master even the tasks you dread
How mindset and physiology are intertwined—and how to hack both
Real-world results from agencies already implementing Michelle’s methods
🎧 Who This Episode is For:
Recruitment leaders wanting to boost team productivity and culture
Consultants looking for practical tools to handle stress and burnout
Skeptics curious about the real impact of breathwork
Anyone chasing that elusive “in the zone” feeling at work
