| How
much pressure does it take to incite the evil twin?
Your
emotional resilience is evident only when you feel pressure.
Your
business relies on you making a series of decisions, some major
and considered, most made moment by moment as you implement the
strategies associated with the big decisions. No matter the size
or type of decision, the quality of your decisions determines
the quality of your output and subsequently your results. Add
pressure and the game is on!
Of
course, pressure is perceived, but when you feel it upon you,
it is very real in it’s impact on your behaviour and your
results.
Pressure
is a necessary part of challenge and engagement, allowing an environment
where you are your best self and can enjoy the game. No pressure
and entropy seeps in. However, too much pressure and you may become
your not so good other self, metaphorically like an evil twin
(a technical term!).
I
often think that a drive in the car is a good way to check whether
my good self or my evil twin is in charge. You know… when
someone cuts me off in the traffic, do I say to myself “Wow!
That person is already having a bad day!” Or “What!
You idiot…” as I feel my temperature rise. Or perhaps
that is just me?
My
work centres on helping you to discover how you make decisions
under normal circumstances and especially under pressure. My fascination
with people and their decision-making is a win for my clients
because this is the pointy end of how my expertise helps produce
improved results, which; not so incidentally; you enjoy working
toward even more.
So…
do you also have a metaphorical evil twin? How has your pressure
level been throughout the day? Has anyone pushed your evil twin
button? If so, how did this affect your behaviour and your results?
Until
next time, be emotionally resilient and enjoy the pressure!
The
newest podcast is a relative of pressure; it is all about “Overwhelm”.
