A short talk (YouTube video) offering practical strategies to manage performance anxiety for athletes and business professionals. The speaker emphasizes that top performers feel nervous but use strategies—"buoys of objectivity"—and advises re-engaging with the world through the five senses to ground oneself during anxious moments.
It's a good thing. But I promise you, every single great athlete and businessman ever felt just as nervous, if not more nervous, than you did. The difference was they had strategies and what I call buoys of objectivity to hang onto when they're in the ocean of anxiety drowning, and they were just able to survive. So when you have these anxious moments, the first thing you need to do is re engage with the world around you from your five senses.
