Performance under pressure

by Tim O’Brien – Tim@HighVelocityCommunications.com

Hannah Kearney’s spectacular gold medal run in the women’s moguls epitomized performance under pressure. As the last hope to beat the first-place, home-crowd favorite, Hannah had not a fraction of a second for error. Flying down the hill fighting moguls with full-throttle abandon and remarkable precision, Hannah combined years of training and hard work with her indomitable will to succeed—and delivered the performance of her lifetime.

Next time you’re making an important business presentation to high-ranking officers around the table, and you think you’re facing some pressure—measure it against Hannah’s achievement.
