Hi,

How you perform in high-pressure moments...

• important meetings
• competitions
• interviews
• exams

...has a huge impact on your career.

Here's a video and 1-pager on five proven techniques to perform under pressure, drawn from the best performance psychology books.

Together, they form the B.R.A.V.E. method.

​1-Page Summary​

Favorite Takeaway:

Every intimidating performance is just a series of actions you've done before, but in a different setting:

• An upcoming exam is just like another practice test.
• Delivering a presentation to a big crowd is like delivering it in your living room to your dog…same words, same gestures.

Before your next performance, complete the following sentence: "This is just like _________________________________________.”

Fill in the blank with a similar, lower-stakes version of what you're about to do. Say that phrase 3 times while visualizing both scenarios side-by-side. Notice the pressure diminishing as you equate them.

Have a productive week!
