Raised on a Manitoba grain farm, Carly Sotas developed an early understanding of resilience, adaptability, and discipline. Her professional career in the technology industry exposed her to the demands of high performance environments shaped by rapid digital transformation, constant pressure, and evolving workplace expectations. These experiences shaped Carly Sotas’s interest in the relationship between leadership effectiveness, wellbeing, and the human nervous system.

Alongside her executive experience, Carly Sotas trained as an Integrative Breathwork Practitioner focused on somatic intelligence, emotional regulation, and stress management. Carly Sotas combines science backed breathwork practices with practical leadership strategies that help individuals strengthen clarity, focus, resilience, and communication under pressure.
