About the Event
What Elite Free Diving Taught Me About Leadership, Performance, and Letting Go
At 95 meters below the surface, on a single breath, panic is not an option.
But what can the extreme world of elite free diving teach us about staying calm, making decisions and performing when the pressure rises?
Join the Monaco Women Network after the summer break for a powerful and immersive evening with Simona Auteri: four-time CMAS World Record-holding freediver, multiple Italian Champion, architect, author, ocean advocate and founder of Apnée au Féminin.
Simona’s remarkable journey took her from leading ambitious architectural projects in London to becoming one of the world’s foremost freedivers. Drawing on her experience at the limits of human performance, she will reveal why freediving is not simply about holding your breath: it is about managing your mind while your body is telling you to panic.
