In this short promotional video, the author of Work Child: Living Under Pressure explains the motivation and research behind the book. She describes how she first examined her own reactions to pressure, then expanded the study by interviewing over 60 senior leaders—including CEOs, CFOs, C‑suite executives, founders, and entrepreneurs—from six continents (North America, Latin America, Europe, APAC, etc.). The interviews explored pressure patterns, reactions, and success strategies, which are distilled in the book to help readers understand the cost of pressure and how to regain control. The video concludes with a call to action, inviting viewers to scan a QR code to receive a copy of the book.
