Pressure Management Coaching

Perform Under Extreme Pressure

Whether you’re handling an unexpected crisis that threatens you or your organisation, or working throughout the night to meet an urgent and important deadline, when the pressure is on your ability to maintain a steady hand and clarity of thought is critical.

For high performers pressure is a constant. Despite experience, ability and preparation, the pressure to win the sale, negotiation or case, meet the deadline, secure the sale or deliver the presentation causes most people to perform below par and many to ‘choke’.

Focus, judgment, decision-making, clarity of thought and overall cognitive performance are frequently impaired in a high-pressure situation. Just when you need to perform at your best, pressure invariably results in underperformance, sometimes with disastrous consequences.

Pressure Conversion

It doesn’t have to be this way. Pressure management is a skill and like all skills it can be learned. Those performing at the highest levels including business and political leaders, world-class athletes and special forces operators have mastered the ability to insulate against the potential negative effects of pressure and use pressure to their advantage perform at their best.

While mitigating the detrimental effects of pressure is a useful starting point, our objective when working with clients is to enable them to experience and utilize the benefits of pressure. Recent research establishes that with correct mental preparation pressure can be our greatest ally.
