💪 Matt mastered it. Can you?

Real pressure. Real results. ROI you can’t ignore.

I got a message last week that made my day.

It was from Matt, one of my 1:1 coaching clients.

His conversations with a key client had turned into a tug of war - rising tension, stalled momentum, misaligned expectations.

“Thought you’d want to know how it went,” he wrote.

Instead of doing what he used to - reacting, defending, trying to control the conversation - Matt slowed everything down and applied everything we’d worked on.

✅ He stayed calm and grounded when the conversation got tense.

✅ He listened deeply for what was really being said?

✅ He focused on understanding the real issue - not just protecting his position.

“It wasn’t easy,” he told me.

“Every instinct told me to interrupt. But I remembered what we practised…”

Pause - Reflect - Choose

The result? Not magic. But momentum.

They uncovered key misunderstandings, reset expectations, and agreed a better way forward.

“My boss asked what changed in my approach,” Matt said.

“He called it the most constructive meeting we’ve had with them in months.”

This is why I do what I do.

Because when you can stay clear-headed under pressure, you start seeing options most people miss entirely.

That’s why I built Thrive Under Pressure.

It’s a live, virtual 8-week programme designed to give you the frameworks and tools I’ve refined over 20+ years of high-stakes situations - from hostage negotiations to corporate boardrooms.
