The six classes

From noticing to making it yours.

Experience before explanation. Beginner-friendly. Live on Zoom, never recorded.

You try each practice before you hear the theory behind it. Classes are built around real moments from the workday, starting with your own. Over six classes, you practice breathing, short guided meditations, and simple movement. You also rehearse what you’ll say in your next hard conversation.

  1. Notice
    Class 1: The reaction you didn’t see.

    Walk back a real moment and recognize your response.

    Your toolWalk It Back

  2. Notice
    Class 2: Where the shift shows up.

    Catch changes in thinking, body and emotion earlier.

    Your toolCatch the Shift

  3. Pause
    Class 3: Inside the pause.

    Make space between impulse and response.

    Your toolThe 2-Minute Reset

  4. Choose
    Class 4: What the moment needs.

    Consider what the moment needs and rehearse a response.

  5. Re-enter
    Class 5: Back into the conversation.

    Bring your choice into the conversation, and choose again.

    Your toolThe In-the-Moment Reset

  6. Make it yours
    Class 6: A practice that fits you.

    Keep what fits and build a practice you can use.

    Your toolReduce · Swap · Return

  • 1 · Walk It Back. Use six questions to trace what the room received and what was happening in you. The same questions guide your private Log. Try it: Walk back one real moment.
  • 2 · Catch the Shift. Use work situations and a listening exercise to recognize your signals. The Body and Word Lists give you words for them. Try it: Catch what shifts in you during a conversation.
  • 3 · The Pause · 2-Minute Reset. Practice a pause breath, a short meditation and gentle movement, including an open, standing posture. Work with a busy mind early: notice wandering and return gently. Try it: Try one pause breath and a short practice that fits your day.
  • 4 · The Check-In. Three questions before a moment you can see coming: Where do I stand? What does this moment need? What’s another way? Rehearse your next words or action. Try it: Put a Check-In before an upcoming conversation.
  • 5 · The In-the-Moment Reset. For the moments you can’t plan for. When you catch the shift, pause, consider what’s needed, and respond. Live rehearsal adds a second challenge so you can practice returning when the moment changes. Try it: Try an In-the-Moment Reset in an everyday pressure moment.
  • 6 · Reduce · Swap · Return. Bring the tools into one real day. Make a practice smaller, change its timing or approach, and begin again whenever you drift. After class: Bring what worked and what was difficult to your closing session.

Between classes and beyond

Support for your own practice.

Private time with Marcelo, and tools that go with you.

Two private one-on-one coaching sessions with Marcelo, at the midpoint and the close, plus a private portal with your Log and class materials.

  • Midpoint session · After Class 3. Adjust the practice to fit your day and leave with one specific next attempt.
  • Closing session · After Class 6. Review what you’ve used and shape the practice you want to keep.
  • A private six-question Log. Walk back one real moment, online or on paper.
  • A short recap before each class. Bring back what worked and what you’d adjust.
  • Materials to keep close. Class materials, cue cards, the Body and Word Lists for naming what you notice, and the one-page Your Practice guide.
  • Your Log is private. Recaps are shared with Marcelo.
  • Optional snapshot. Two five-minute check-ins, before Class 1 and after Class 6, reviewed privately with Marcelo at the closing session. Whether to include it is agreed when we set up the program.

Pacing. Weekly, the program takes about six weeks. Every two weeks, about twelve, with more room to practice between classes. We set the rhythm with you.

Questions leaders ask.

Leadership development, powered by meditation. Meditation is the training. Leadership is the arena.

A few minutes on most days: one moment, one breath. Your coaching sessions with Marcelo fit the practice to your week.

We’ll work it out case by case. When schedules allow, a makeup class is possible, and the class materials stay on your portal.
