And that's what I'm finding leaders saying things like, I just feel under so much pressure.
I just, I don't know what to do in the moment in that middle of that meeting, et cetera, et cetera.
So it's knowing how to handle in the moment pressure.
I think that's become very different.
Access to information, information overload, all those things.
That's been one of the, I would say, one of the top things.
Okay, first thing is just a great question.
First thing is to stand back and observe oneself.
So it's not physically stand back, but go into what I call the multiple perspective advantage, which is an actual scientific concept where you're able to, we as humans, we can train ourselves to do something that's actually very natural and that's stand back and observe ourselves and observe how we are actually functioning.
And that, so it's almost like we step back and we say to ourself, okay, and you, so you
First thing, you go into the multiple perspective advantage, which is literally, I'm going to pause for this moment.
I'm going to observe myself reacting in the situation.
So you're watching yourself, like you're watching yourself through a video camera or something or your phone.
And in that moment, you say, you acknowledge, very important to acknowledge how you are feeling in that moment, what you're thinking about in that moment, the scenario.
So it's in other words, a description.
So saying in your head, something like this person has just said this, and it's really,
frustrating me I really feel like I want to punch them in the face so you're not saying it out loud you're saying it in your head and what you do then is that you bring because that person whatever's going on that's information that's coming at you your deepest level of you which we call the non-conscious mind is absorbing all of that everything about them all the words the
The body language, et cetera, et cetera, all of that's being processed at 400 billion actions per second into the non-conscious mind, which is literally an energy force.
It's then being coded into the brain and the body, and the brain and body are only 1% of who we are.
And only then does it get filtered and bubble up into our conscious mind.
