“If [companies] implement stress management… magical things can happen.”

Welcome back to the Oxygen Advantage® podcast. In the latest episode Patrick is joined by OA Master Instructor Lars Christian Larssen to speak about teaching breathing in the corporate environment and innovation in the ways in which companies deal with the stress and anxieties of their employees.

Lars is from Norway, just an hour outside Oslo and has spent years teaching functional breathing training in the corporate environment. He found his way to breathing when he was dealing with severe work stresses when he worked for a large Norwegian media company. Conflicts at work and the anxiety it caused was eating him up inside, disturbing his sleep and making his life incredibly stressful.

Working under a “great boss”, Lars’ company looked at Google’s famous 20% Innovation time, where engineers are encouraged to take 20% of their week to work on new projects that interest them. They allowed workers to spend 10% of their time on passion projects. Lars wanted to develop strategies for stress management and performance management in the workplace and the freedom at work allowed him to do this.

This is a great podcast for those interested in ways to combat stress in the working environment or innovative ways to look at human resource management in the modern workplace.
