Stay calm, build trust and inspire people when the pressure is on.
£7.99, tax included
Pressure changes how we think. Your heart races, your mind goes blank and the right words won’t come. This book shows you why that happens and what you can do about it.
It’s built on the methods I taught police negotiators for hostage and siege situations, and later used with elite athletes, business leaders, parents and children.
