When Pressure Changes Attention
Many communication problems are not actually communication problems. A client told me today that he recently noticed something surprising in conversations with senior executives. “Almost immediately after the conversation begins, my breathing changes.

There is a growing sense of pause, of re-evaluation, […]
When Pressure Chooses for Us
It often happens that emotion shows up before thinking, and in that moment something else starts running us. In most situations where we feel disappointed in ourselves, it’s not really about what we did, but about what happened just before. It begins with a fast, almost unnoticed intuitive response.

What happens when we don't say what truly matters
What Happens When We Don’t Say What Truly Matters An insight from working with leaders and executives Over the years, in my work with senior leaders, I keep encountering the same moment.
