🗓️ FREE TRAINING: High Performance Under High Pressure – September 9th at 3pm ET (replay available): https://melodywilding.com/highperformance

—

Accomplished professionals with decades of experience and impressive titles often find themselves trapped in a bizarre pattern: despite their proven competence, they regularly feel like scared children about to get in trouble at work. Melody explores this visceral reaction and how to rewire your response so you can show up with the confidence your experience has earned you.

What You’ll Discover:

• Why a simple "Can we chat?" email from your boss can trigger the same physical response as facing your parents' disappointment as a child
• The hidden connection between being a "good kid" and struggling with executive presence decades later
• How this pattern shows up differently as you climb the corporate ladder - and why it gets worse, not better (if you’re not careful)
• How to use this 7-letter word to pull yourself out of emotional panic and into logical reasoning
• The one minute technique that instantly calms your brain's fear center when you feel triggered

Have you ever gotten the promotion you wanted, only to feel completely overwhelmed instead of excited? Today's guest, Amy, knows that feeling intimately. As an administrative manager at a major research university, she transitioned from a role where she felt confident and at the top of her game to a new position that challenged everything she thought she knew about herself. You’ll hear how after joining RESILIENT she went from second-guessing every interaction to being recognized as a strategic leader across her organization.

What You’ll Discover

• The "popcorn strategy" Amy used to build rapport with someone who initially found her annoying (now they work seamlessly together)
• How she went from dreading Monday mornings to feeling energized about challenges – without changing jobs or teams
• The mistake Amy was making that was sabotaging her credibility (even though she thought she was being professional)

▪️ How you're unconsciously treating yourself worse than you'd treat your most unreliable colleague
