Short advice from a corporate speaker on managing pressure: apply pressure when needed but recognize limits, and use brief micro-breaks (e.g., retreating to the bathroom for a few breaths) to recharge and maintain joy in a fast-paced business environment.
Pressure makes us better. But there's a limit to the pressure, right? Apply pressure when needed and especially for your teams and for yourself. And then when you don't check out, man, just go take care of yourself. I always say, in the corporate world, where's the one place you can be alone? The bathroom or the loo? You go there, you sit for like, I don't know, a couple minutes, you take in some breaths. You have a minute and then you come back out and you're recharging, right? Find those little places to recharge. But the reality is, in that world of business and fast paced and extremeness, it in my career is about finding those moments and finding the joy in all of it.
