A speaker argues therapy works like a personal coach for handling pressure, citing Simone Biles attending therapy the morning she won gold at the 2024 Olympics. High-earning business leaders use therapists to manage the same pressures you face.
How many in this room have ever felt pressure? And imagine having a coach that helps you understand how to handle that pressure, relieve that pressure, move forward through that pressure. Why would we not want that in our lives? By the way, do you know almost all the world-class athletes have therapists nowadays? I'll give you an example. Uh, 19— 19— go back just 12 months, about 15 months. Go to the 2024 Olympics. Who's the most decorated Olympian there? It's not even a close call, by the way. You started to say it. Simone Biles. Simone Biles. How many are aware the morning of winning the last gold, Simone Biles is in therapy? Literally the morning of winning the gold, because that just made sense. Why would I not want to do that to set myself up as a win for the day? Right. And by the way, world-class business leaders, therapists. I've sat next to people who are making hundreds of millions of dollars, therapists, because they have lots of pressure, but the same kind of pressures you have. So I open that door to invite everybody in here to try that experience, that open that door for your life. Therapy can be a gift.
