Delphine Renaud

The message targets senior people and organisations rather than a general wellbeing audience: regulation is presented as what makes a leader grounded, confident, and able to perform, including on high-pressure days.

A September post describes a flagship online masterclass that brought together leaders from around the world to explore the nervous system and unconscious patterns behind stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout. It says they were about to deliver the same material for Aviva leaders in Manchester and describes the need to regulate before stepping on stage.

The idea began as individual breathwork during Renaud’s burnout recovery and broadened into a message about organisational leadership. The same post says they decided to make emotional and nervous system regulation a leadership priority for leaders in tech.

They describe it as something that can be taught in small classes and brought into organisations, offering a low-barrier first experience for audiences sceptical of leadership wellbeing content.

Renaud writes about qualifying as a breathwork instructor, opening Breathe With Delphine as a side project alongside a VP Product career, teaching small breathwork classes, and carrying yoga mats around London. Personal burnout taught them how the breath can regulate emotions.

They link this to shame and fear of judgement about being different or leading differently, and say those feelings contribute to burnout.

Announcing their move out of a VP role at Opensignal, Renaud describes shame and fear of judgement about stepping aside from the career ladder.

• They say the work is about helping people overcome the shame and fear of being different, wanting different, and leading different.
• The same post describes them leading a Being Human event in South London.

They describe starting the practice with no audience or clients and doubting every post, then deciding to act before feeling ready rather than waiting to become more confident. The story invites readers who have built a successful life that no longer feels like theirs to make a change.

On the second anniversary of Breathe With Delphine, Renaud writes that the practice did not grow because their confidence increased; it grew because they stopped waiting for confidence to arrive. The post also mentions leaving a salaried VP role after 25 years.

Posts mark different points in the transition: one refers to two years of the practice and seven months since leaving the VP role; another gives a last day of 31 December 2025; a third says nine months since their last day as VP. Ask for the exact timeline.

They bring regulation work to groups of leaders, often travelling to deliver it, rather than publishing written commentary.

One post lists a masterclass, a business trip to the Cayman Islands for workshops and meetings with business leaders, a panelist booking at a Cayman Women in AI event, a workshop for Aviva leaders in Manchester, and a booking link for a nervous system regulation sprint. Another says they facilitated events for hundreds of people and coached people across several countries.

The posts position that experience as context for their focus on tech leaders, not as a current service.

One post is a short hiring notice for a Product Management Director in the Network Experience Group at Opensignal. It uses the hashtags #hiring and #productmanagement and says nothing about coaching, nervous system regulation, or leadership development.

It shows what Delphine delivers on nervous system regulation, who the work is for, and how it has moved from an online masterclass to in-person corporate sessions. Start here to assess whether the topic and format suit a tech leadership audience.

Delphine describes launching a September campaign on nervous system regulation as a leadership strategy.

• The post says the flagship online masterclass brought together leaders from around the world to explore nervous system and unconscious patterns behind stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout.
• They were also due to run workshops and meet business leaders in the Cayman Islands, had been booked as a panelist for the Cayman Women in AI event, and were traveling to Manchester to lead a nervous system regulation session for Aviva leaders.
• They note it had been nine months since their last day as a VP of Product Management and frame the mission as making emotional and nervous system regulation a leadership priority for leaders in tech.

Strongest starting point for a keynote or workshop proposal: the post names a masterclass format, a sprint follow-up, and in-person corporate delivery. Ask about audience size, session length, and whether the content can be tailored to a specific executive group.

It explains how the coaching practice started, why burnout and emotional regulation are central, and how a side project became a full leadership offer. Read it to understand the personal experience behind the professional pitch.

Delphine looks back at the second anniversary of Breathe With Delphine.

• The post says it began with a first awkward Instagram video after they qualified as a breathwork instructor, with no audience, clients, or plan beyond a belief that breathwork could help regulate emotions.
• They started it as a side project alongside a VP Product career, taught small breathwork classes, carried yoga mats around London, and doubted themselves after each post.
• Two years later, the practice had become a leadership coaching firm.
• The post says they had coached leaders, founders, and teams across countries from Colombia to Canada and London to the South of France, facilitated events for hundreds of people, and still had a few spaces for one-to-one coaching.

Useful for framing a keynote around sustainable leadership and the lived experience of burnout, not just techniques. The post also shows a one-to-one coaching offer, helping distinguish event work from ongoing coaching in a campaign brief.

It explains why Delphine moved from product leadership into coaching and what Being Human means in practice. Read it for context on the nervous system and emotional regulation work.

Delphine announces they are stepping down from a VP of Product Management role at Opensignal, with a last day of 31 December 2025.

• The post says Breathe With Delphine began as a side project to overcome their own burnout and has become a community and mission.
• They describe shame and fear of judgment around leaving a career ladder, and say the work is about helping people overcome the shame and fear of being different and leading differently.
• They mention leading a Being Human event in South London, with the next one planned for 10 April, and invite direct messages for tickets.

Useful for a leadership audience in tech because Delphine speaks from inside that world. The post also shows an event format, Being Human, which may offer a lower-commitment first step before a keynote or workshop.

Use it as context for Delphine's credibility with tech leaders, not as evidence of speaking or workshop content.

Delphine posts about hiring a Product Management Director for the Network Experience Group at Opensignal. The short post includes a hiring link and the hashtags #hiring and #productmanagement.

Supports positioning Delphine as a former product-team leader, which can matter to a tech executive audience. It is not evidence of coaching or workshop capability.

One describes a September campaign on nervous system regulation as a leadership strategy, a flagship online masterclass for leaders worldwide, and a follow-up nervous system regulation sprint.

• Another connects breathwork with burnout recovery and coaching leaders.
• This is the clearest subject for a leadership development brief.

Online masterclass, sprint, workshops, and 1:1 coaching.

For a keynote or workshop on nervous system regulation for tech executives, make the core promise practical regulation for grounded, confident leadership—not generic wellness.

Another says the project began as a way to overcome burnout and became a community and mission. Breathwork is both an origin story and a delivery method.

Small classes, community events, and breathwork instruction.

Breathwork sessions offer sceptical executive audiences an accessible first experience, with a bridge to broader nervous system and leadership work.

For a leadership development company, this offers a cultural-change workshop framework: reduce shame and judgement around stress, normalise regulation, and reward it.

Another says Delphine Renaud facilitated events for hundreds of people and coached across countries. The posts show large-group and corporate event formats, not only one-to-one coaching.

Masterclass, workshops, panel, sprint, and event facilitation.

A brand seeking a keynote plus breakout workshop or leadership sprint can book multi-format delivery for international or in-person events.

Another describes leaving the VP role at Opensignal, shame and fear about stepping aside from the career ladder, and new beginnings.

• A third counts nine months since the last day as VP and says the dream became reality.
• Together, these posts tell a recurring story of career reinvention and permission.

The time markers differ across posts, and the posts here give no post dates, so treat the transition as a narrative sequence rather than a dated chronology.

For founder audiences or career-transition briefs, this narrative can open a talk. For a tech-executive nervous-system brief, use it to support credibility rather than dominate the session.

Other posts describe VP of Product Management roles and position the coaching work for leaders in tech. That background informs how they can speak about tech-executive pressure, but the posts do not show product-management training as a current offer.

Ask for current sponsorship or paid partnership options; none are documented in these four posts.

For a tech executive audience, use the product leadership background as context for credibility; don’t advertise product-management consulting unless separate posts say it is offered.

In one post, a disrupted afternoon becomes a lesson in adapting plans to protect what matters; another frames recovery after the holidays around emotional labor and boundaries. Short is a useful follow for readers drawn to Renaud’s focus on regulation, with more emphasis on everyday resets and personal examples.

Short’s examples center on individual choices and recovery, while Renaud also describes group learning formats and applying regulation in leadership settings.

Their posts describe clinicians who appear professionally successful while feeling disconnected, and suggest that mid-career change can mean reshaping work around purpose rather than leaving medicine. This offers a clinician-specific complement to Renaud’s broader writing on leadership, overwhelm and work that no longer feels sustainable.

Hirsch focuses on physicians and clinical careers, especially mid-career purpose; Renaud addresses leaders more broadly and foregrounds emotional and nervous-system regulation.

Short over Delphine Renaud when the session is framed around emotional labor, boundary-setting, urgency culture, and the cost of holding a team together, and the audience is high-achieving leaders or women leaders who need language for why they are depleted rather than tools for regulating the nervous system.

• The posts describe coaching on how leaders manage pressure and recover from the emotional load carried over a holiday or a broken plan, including one that sets out a specific reset routine: slow the body, build in quiet, read your emotions, recover before pushing.
• That framing suits a client who wants a reflective wellbeing conversation tied to mental health practice rather than a leadership-strategy masterclass.

You give up the nervous-system-regulation positioning and technology-executive context.

• Delphine Renaud's posts show a mental health and leadership coaching lens aimed largely at women leaders, with a magazine feature as the visible credential.
• They do not document corporate masterclasses, an executive workshop format, or work with technology leadership teams.
• If the buyer needs a campaign aimed at a tech executive group that names nervous system regulation as a leadership skill, their own posts are the closer match.

His posts cover procurement software evaluation, lead conversion, ideal-customer focus, and where AI should be given decision authority versus kept behind a human, including a webinar with named panelists on agentic procurement. That is a better fit for a technology company whose executives want an outside view on buying software, targeting, and decision rights in an AI-heavy operating model.

You give up the regulation subject entirely.

• Delphine Renaud's posts focus on procurement, so a session aimed at handling pressure during a planning cycle would not be served.
• The material is procurement-specific; ask whether it can be adapted for general technology executives.

Examples: Source 1 · Source 2

Hirsch when the audience is physicians and clinicians and the goal is burnout coaching, emotional sustainability, or a mid-career rethink of how someone practices.

• Her posts name the pressures clinicians are not trained to process, describe burnout as functioning professionally while feeling disconnected, and offer coaching for physicians who have the stable career and still feel misaligned.
• That specificity is stronger than a general leadership framing if the client's executives are clinical leaders, a medical group, or a hospital leadership team.

You give up the corporate technology framing and the nervous-system-regulation vocabulary.

• Delphine Renaud's posts speak to medicine as the professional context and purpose and career alignment as the outcome; they do not document workshops or keynotes for technology executives, regulation exercises, or the online masterclass format Delphine describes.
• A buyer planning a session for a technology leadership team should confirm that the healthcare-specific framing can be adapted.
