Maybe you're doing a pitch and you've said the wrong thing, or you showed the wrong slide. Or maybe it's the fact that you didn't bring the right materials for your client. How do you recover in that moment?

Start focusing on being your best rather than being the best. That subtle shift will give back your power and it will reduce the tendency to overthink.

Choking under pressure is not based on intelligence, or motivation, or experience. Some of the most talented people on the planet suffer from choking under pressure.

I do a lot of presentations, and I have for a number of years. So, what do I do? How can I help you be your best under pressure and deliver when stage fright is negatively impacting you?

"To succeed in business, you have to be willing to do what others will not do." That sounds like an over-simplification, but it's true. To succeed in business or in your job or as an entrepreneur, or whatever it is, you have to do what others are not willing to do. For example, make the calls, put in the hours, develop the product, and go to the pitch

One of the fastest ways for you to improve is to tell the truth. Nothing crushes your improvement faster than pressure. Pressure has this killer cocktail of doubt, fear, and worry. When that killer cocktail fires off, it totally crushes your improvement, totally crushes your advancement and it will kill any deal in a heartbeat

By doing this it helps you make less mistakes, helps you bounce back faster from mistakes, and it helps you buffer yourself against the effects of pressure.
