Dr. Leah Lagos Speaking Topics
In the highest tiers of the legal profession, the most decisive variable in performance is not intelligence, preparation, or even experience — it’s state control. Your ability to direct your own physiology in real time determines whether your cognitive and strategic capacities are fully available when it matters most. Every attorney has experienced the autonomic “takeover”: elevated heart rate, shallow breathing, narrowed visual field, and degraded working memory in high-pressure moments. These shifts are governed by the balance between your sympathetic (“accelerator”) and parasympathetic (“brake”) nervous systems. When unmanaged, they can impair executive function and decision quality in seconds. Dr. Leah Lagos presents the Command Presence framework — a set of protocols grounded in cardiovascular psychophysiology and decades of peer-reviewed research on heart rate variability (HRV) as a control lever for brain state. You’ll learn how to rapidly stabilize HRV, down-regulate threat responses, and maintain high prefrontal activation during protracted trial advocacy, complex deal-making, or intense negotiation. Attendees will leave with the ability to run “rapid resets” — rapid heart rate deceleration sequences that measurably reduce cortisol levels, restore working memory, and increase cognitive flexibility — as well as longer-term conditioning protocols to increase stress tolerance and recovery speed. By systematically training heart rate variability (HRV) and interoceptive awareness over time, these methods expand stress tolerance, shorten physiological recovery time after high-intensity legal proceedings, and increase the capacity to sustain high mental dexterity during multi-day trials, prolonged negotiations, and cross-border deal closings. This dual approach — rapid-reset tools for acute pressure and conditioning protocols for chronic resilience — equips attorneys to control their internal state as decisively as they control their case strategy. This is not generic wellness. This is the deliberate engineering of your biological operating system for strategic dominance in the highest-pressure environments. When others burn down their cognitive capital, you will still be operating with full bandwidth.
