Lisa Sun, CEO of Gravitas, uses the 7-5-7 breathing technique, inspired by yoga, to enhance her confidence before speaking engagements. After leaving McKinsey, she founded Gravitas to promote confidence through fashion. The 7-5-7 method involves inhaling for seven counts, holding for five, and exhaling negativity for another seven. Sun encourages its practice for both letting go of negative thoughts and welcoming positivity, revealing her mission to help individuals cultivate their confidence.
Every time I do this, I feel just a little calmer and centered.
The first time you do this, take a negative thought you had today... Whatever negativity you're carrying, think about it, and then exhale it... and let it go.
My purpose is to help people find their unique version of confidence.
One way I find my own confidence is through 7-5-7, a pre-routine I do before any speech.
