Leading Under Pressure: How to Work With Your Mind When It Matters Most
Custom quote
For entrepreneurs and business owners, CEOs and senior executives, executive peer groups, general corporate audiences, and boards and nonprofit leaders.
Drawing on neuroscience, mindfulness, and the Seven Levels of Effectiveness®, Rachel explores what happens in the mind under pressure and how our internal state influences decision-making, communication, collaboration, and leadership effectiveness. Through relatable examples, guided reflection, and interactive exploration, participants recognize how different states play out in real leadership situations and discover practical ways to regain perspective and create more choice – even when the pressure doesn't go away.
- Understand how different internal states influence what they notice, how they think, make decisions, communicate, and lead – often without even realizing it.
- Recognize their personal "poker tells" – early signs that their state is narrowing their perspective, draining energy, or driving automatic reactions.
- Use practical tools to begin shifting their state and respond more effectively under pressure – by separating facts from predictions and widening perspective.
