Description
Sometimes stress is unavoidable — but losing focus under pressure doesn’t have to be.
This Lunch & Learn session introduces performance techniques used by gold medal athletes, snowboarders, and ultramarathon runners — approaches designed for situations where concentration, resilience, and execution matter.
Over the years, the facilitator has collected these techniques through her professional journey and adapted them into practical strategies for business environments. The session explores how stress affects performance and offers simple, science-based methods to regulate stress, improve focus, and prepare for important meetings, presentations, or high-stakes conversations.
The session is structured as an interactive talk with reflection moments and practical examples that participants can apply in their everyday work.
