Description

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.
