PowerPoints/Handouts Available

Repeated from Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.

Pressure is everywhere, affecting everyone, including corporate executives running companies, managers working toward critical milestones and employees striving to elevate their careers. Competition is fierce, and we're often working in pressure-cooker environments. How can we perform our best while under extraordinary pressure? This session will showcase real-world examples from high-profile individuals such as corporate executives, Olympic athletes and Navy SEALs who face extreme pressure. You will learn:

  • How to better manage pressure so it becomes a competitive advantage for you in growing your career and in helping your organization drive performance.
  • 22 “pressure solutions”—practical, actionable techniques that maximize success during pressure situations.
  • How pressure affects your brain and strategies you can use to perform under pressure in the moment.
  • Why the top performers managed pressure more effectively than the rest based on a study of more than 12,000 people.
  • Longer-term “COTE of Armor” (Confidence, Optimism, Tenacity, Enthusiasm) strategies that help inoculate you against pressure and increase your confidence as you walk into a pressure situation.

Bill has a rare perspective – he has advanced degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science and has 25 years of real-world business experience as a senior leader. Bill is very authentic about the fact that he struggled early in his career as a leader when he was under pressure. He shares how he has been able to apply the very same techniques he teaches to become a better leader (and husband and father) himself.

In addition to using his background in sales to motivate and inspire audiences, Bill leverages his Mathematics and technical background to take a practical and scientific approach to helping people understand how the brain responds under pressure, and how that can help increase leadership and performance.
 
Bill is a partner at the Institute for Health and Human Potential (IHHP), a successful international research and training company, named one of the “Fastest Growing Companies” in the “Fast 100” ranking in PROFIT Magazine.
 
Bill also contributed to the New York Times and Amazon bestselling book Performing Under Pressure, co-authored by IHHP’s JP Pawliw-Fry and noted psychologist Hendrie Weisinger.
