When the Project Goes Sideways: How High Performers Stay Calm Under Pressure - episode 6

Описание: We’ve all been there—a project derails, deadlines get missed, and suddenly you’re standing in the middle of the chaos wondering if your career just imploded.
In this episode, I break down what I’ve learned from 30+ years of watching high performers navigate workplace crises. Spoiler: They don’t panic less. They’ve just learned what pressure is actually telling them.
In this episode:
∙ Why your first instinct (panic and throw solutions) makes everything worse
∙ How to reframe pressure as information, not a personal attack
∙ The specific steps high performers take when things go sideways
∙ Building “crisis confidence” without waiting for career-ending moments
∙ Why separating your identity from the work output changes everything
∙ The one question I ask that helps me reality-check any situation
This is part 6 of the High Performer in the Workplace series, focused on helping professionals in their 20s and 30s navigate the reality of modern work.
