Have you ever had a coach, boss, or parent who always talked to you in a disrespectful way, overreacted over your mistakes or made you feel small every time you messed up? I think we all have dealt with this at some time of our lives. However, when we allow them to get to us, and we get scared and overly cautious, that's when things begin to fall apart. We have to plan for how to handle our emotions and overcome. In this episode, I show you how.

What do all high performers have in common? They all know how to manage and master their emotions. If they don't, it's only a matter of time before the pressure exposes them.

Most high performers fold under the lights, they get overwhelmed with anxiety and worry when the results matter most, and it affects not just them but their teammates, their employees, their customers, and everyone involved. If you want to dominate under pressure, that means you'll have to go against your natural instincts, which is to run from that pressure. You have to teach yourself to be poised....in this episode I give you an inside look into my live coaching program where I break down the mindset standard that high performers must have and how to create your legitimate recipe for maximum confidence.
