Performing Under Pressure
Move through the final obstacle.
The Gap
The people I work with are hungry; starving to hit the next level. They're not your tenured executive who is looking to mail it in for the next decade. They're your mid-stage founder building something incredible. They're your senior leader who wants to break-through. They're true achievers. But oftentimes they hit a wall. They plateau at a few levels below their true ability; the ability that will bring them the results they're after from their work. This gap has almost nothing to do with skill, and has everything to do with pressure. Specifically, not being able to access the top-end of their ability under pressure. They are hijacked by their inner voice, and can't just will their way past it. I know this because I went through it at the highest levels. And I know how to close that gap.
The Shift
The mechanism of change comes from fundamentally shifting the relationship to pressure and performance. The outcome is that pressure stops being the limiting factor. The gap gets closed. The ability becomes accessible. The achievement that you know you are capable of finally gets reached.
The Work
We go through a 90-day block together. Two meetings per month. 60-90 minutes at a time. Face to face or online. Together we create art and science. The science is broken into three separate phases:
Understand
This is the diagnostic phase. I get to know more about you, your circumstances, your performance, what comes up under pressure, where your real leverage lies. We get clear on what your true ability looks like.
Shift
This is the deep work. We change your relationship to pressure and build the specific focal points for you to return to when it matters most.
Express
This is the pressure-test. We go through the execution phase together. We refine, we evaluate, we build the habit of you consistently performing at your best. More importantly, we celebrate you closing the gap and getting what you want.
The art is that we tailor these phases around you. Everyone has unique needs, abilities, and desires. We work together with this, and inject it into the entire program.
Matthew has a unique ability to understand how people perform under pressure and, more importantly, how to unlock performance when it matters most. He has become a trusted sounding board for me.
I was carrying a significant amount of personal and professional pressure that was affecting my ability to think clearly and make good decisions. Matthew helped me develop ways to manage that pressure in the moment rather than letting it compound. Since adopting it I've become clearer headed when it matters, and better equipped to lead my team through difficult projects without it costing us unnecessary time and effort.
