🗓️ FREE TRAINING: High Performance Under High Pressure – September 9th at 3pm ET (replay available): https://melodywilding.com/highperformance 

Accomplished professionals with decades of experience and impressive titles often find themselves trapped in a bizarre pattern: despite their proven competence, they regularly feel like scared children about to get in trouble at work. Melody explores this visceral reaction and how to rewire your response so you can show up with the confidence your experience has earned you. 

What You’ll Discover:

  • Why a simple "Can we chat?" email from your boss can trigger the same physical response as facing your parents' disappointment as a child
  • The hidden connection between being a "good kid" and struggling with executive presence decades later
  • How this pattern shows up differently as you climb the corporate ladder - and why it gets worse, not better (if you’re not careful) 
  • How to use this 7-letter word to pull yourself out of emotional panic and into logical reasoning
  • The one minute technique that instantly calms your brain's fear center when you feel triggered
