Event description: 

Can you summon your talent at will? Can you deliver on a deadline? Can you sleep at night? The truth is, nobody does better under pressure - not even elite athletes. Most of us crumble. Studies conducted around the world indicate pressure downgrades our cognitive success tools (memory, attention, comprehension, judgment, and decision making), disturbs our psychomotor skills, bends our ethics, and adds conflict to our relationships. Pressure is the enemy of success.

This presentation will introduce the emerging science of pressure management by clarifying myths of pressure, the difference between stress and pressure, and provide short and long term “pressure solutions” for doing your best when it matters most.

• 4 Differences between Stress and Pressure: most people confuse the two to their detriment
• How pressure attacks our human performance system
• 3 Myths of Pressure: Dispelling them allows you to do better!
• Pressure Traps: How we inadvertently create pressure for ourselves and for others.
• How We Choke: Why we often perform our worst when we want our best
• 22 Pressure Solutions for doing your best when it matters the most
• Building Your COTE of Armor
