And Breathe is a new type of advisory firm for a new era of business. Founded by Tatiana Simonian and Joel Lunenfeld, veterans in marketing, technology, entertainment, and media, we work with leading-edge companies eager to scale and succeed while making a positive impact. We believe that slowing down and cultivating creativity is the path to a wildly successful and sustainable career. The current status quo in business emphasizes speed, urgency, and a breathless pace. This leaves leaders and teams exhausted, often behind schedule, and left uninspired. We believe that pausing, reflecting, and breathing are the most valuable and under-utilized tools for breakthrough creative thinking. Creativity from this inspired place is the fire that fuels us. Fire can burn you out or fuel your work. And Breathe’s strategic focus is on how to relight your fire, recharge your spirit, and rekindle your creativity. We design experiences for high-performing leaders and teams on how to find a renewable resource of energy, calm, and creativity in your work. Living and Breathing your Brand Design Thinking for Creativity Cultivating Mindful Leadership Restorative Executive Coaching And Breathe will conduct a workshop with your team in-person or remotely, or create a memorable multi-day retreat for an elevated team experience. For those seeking 1:1 coaching, we offer packages for executives and their leadership teams to develop a deeper sense of purpose, authenticity, and clarity that will lead to a shared vision and defined behaviors to cultivate success.
