About this listen
A 30-minute deadline. A leadership escalation. And a pressure spiral that nearly broke me.
This episode dives into how I stay calm under pressure — using a 3-step mindset tool I call the “Emergency Triage Rule.”
You’ll learn how pressure hijacks your thinking, why reacting too fast can backfire, and how to contribute meaningfully without checking out or burning out.
If you’ve ever asked:
“Why do I freeze when urgency hits?”
“How do I stay calm when leadership is panicking?”
“Can I respond without losing control?”
This one’s for you.
Topics in this episode:
✅ What pressure actually does to your brain
✅ The Emergency Triage Rule: Contain. Clarify. Contribute.
✅ How to stop overreacting and regain control
✅ Staying focused when everything’s on fire 🔥
