Q: Have you ever wondered what you have in common with an Olympic athlete?
A: Yes! You’re an ace at what you do.
Q: Know what you don’t share with the Olympians?
A: Exactly. The preparation and performance skills you need to deliver your best every time.
We don’t often think of it this way, but nearly every career interaction is a high-stakes performance, and deserves to be prepared for as such.
Have you ever:
-
felt perfectly prepared for professional interactions, only to wish the trap door would open up and swallow you away in the moment?
-
been anxious or unable to eat or sleep properly in advance of important meetings?
-
come away from important events feeling inadequate, embarrassed, or doubting yourself, wishing you’d said something completely different?
-
felt that you delivered a perfectly honourable Silver when in fact you had first rate Gold in your pocket the whole time?
-
felt up against the clock with a deadline for a deliverable, and felt paralyzed into non-productivity?
What can you do? Train as an Olympian would train, and be prepared to deliver your best self any time. That’s where I come in.
