Perform Under Pressure

The in-the-moment response to an event or situation that individuals perceive as threatening can either cause anxiety, or fuel them to achieve great things. By understanding the possible threats to performance, managers can help their people choose positive responses so the pressure merely acts as fuel.

You will:

Understand how perception of a situation as either challenging vs threatening influences response to pressure
Understand how an internal dialogue of ‘don’t do that’ is more likely to influence an individual to actually do it
Understand how nerves resulting from pressure can cause the loss of automatic performance and cause a choke reaction
Be able to educate your team around their reactions to pressure and coach them to become more effective in such situations

Feel the Flow

Anyone with an interest in high performance within sport or the arts, will have heard of being 'in the zone' or 'in flow.' It's the unconscious feeling of automaticity as individuals and teams achieve their highest possible levels of performance. The good news? You can create this feeling in your team too.

Build Mental Toughness

A few years ago, resilience training was a nice to have - but today, it is recognised as a necessity. By giving you the management tools to help yourself and your people in times of stress, you and your team members are less likely to be ill or absent and better able to thrive and excel.
