Mike Domitrz lays out four steps: team up, check in, stay calm, stay focused. Most schools teach through statistics and "don'ts." His approach skips the fear and gives you concrete things to actually do.
Team up, check in, stay calm and focused. It's that simple. Now, whenever I share this, people go, Mike, did you do these 4 steps when you were in college? And sadly, these conversations did not exist when I was in college. Literally didn't exist. And let's get real. They're not existing in most universities still to this day. They definitely aren't existing in high schools. How many agree you probably didn't get this in-depth of a conversation back at high school? Agree that's true? Say that's true. How many got this instead? Statistics. If you got a lot of stats, say, yes, I did. Yes, I did. If you got a lot of don't do this, don't do that, say, yes, I did. Yes, I did. Have you noticed I haven't said one don't today? Every word in this program has been something you can do. There's no don'ts, right? So we're playing at a different level.
