Episode 226: How I Think About… Performing Under Pressure
What does it really take to stay solid and grounded when the stakes feel high?
In this solo episode, I’m sharing how I think about performing under pressure - drawing from almost 2 decades in one of the world’s most stressful jobs and 6 years coaching ambitious entrepreneurs.
I explore:
- How calm confidence is actually a competitive edge in leadership
- Why, believe it or not, introverts often thrive in high-pressure environments
- The difference between pressure and stress (and how I avoid tipping over)
- Why owning “enough” is more powerful than doing “everything”
- Why pressure becomes easier with practice
- Why your ability to deal with pressure isn’t fixed - and how rituals, routines and ‘tools in the box’ are what really separates those who perform well from those who don’t
🎧 Tune in now and rethink what it means to perform at your best when it matters most in your business.
