Pressure Management at Work

Making a sales call, giving a presentation, having a difficult conversation, meeting a project deadline, are only a few of the pressure moments that can either advance or derail a career. Pressure management enables us to perform to our full capabilities during our -pressure moments so our chances of achieving success are increased. Because the working world is becoming more and more competitive, it’s vital that one succeeds in those moments if they want to stay in the game, let alone advance.

Under pressure, we may find ourselves giving criticism harshly and ineffectively. Pressure management equips us with the skills to stay cool, calm and collected so that we can give and receive criticism effectively, making us more adept at handling crucial conversations, whether with clients or colleagues.

Pressure management also helps us harness our emotions, enabling us to self-motivate when faced with challenging situations. This skill becomes particularly valuable when things get tough.

For organizations, Pressure Management provides a profitable ROI. Benefits include unleashing creative potential, enhanced morale, reduced absenteeism, greater support among employees, increased integrity within the organization and more likely to retain top talent.
