Boosting Performance and Decision Making Under Pressure

Do you or your employees unravel under pressure, crumble in conflict, avoid risk, dodge responsibility, or compulsively check email? Insist on perfectionism and instant gratification at work? Lose your cool when faced with high-pressure decisions?

If so, the reason could be your brain’s hair trigger Survival Instinct. Designed to keep you out of danger, this ancient part of us is being unnecessarily pressed into action at the slightest hint of pressure or discomfort. With our tolerance for discomfort and pressure at an all-time low, the Survival Instinct is stuck in the "ON" position and is undermining the areas of the brain that are vital for successful problem solving, decision making and performance.
