Full Course: https://www.udemy.com/performance-under-pressure-taking-action/?couponCode=PROMONOW

As promised we are not going to directly discuss section by section the topics included in this course. First a course overview, and a short - very short reminder of the previous course from this series.
The previous course from this series dealt with The Right Attitude as the starting point of achieving Performance Under Pressure.
This course helps you understand the events and situations that cause you to feel pressure. It explains how you can understand your reaction to pressure, and how excessive stress can impair your performance. And, finally, it covers the principles for managing your attitude so that you stay in control and maintain a success-oriented mentality.
Now, to shift from attitude to actions, have you ever been under pressure to give an important presentation, or impress an important client, only to perform below your abilities? Many people struggle to give their best when it counts the most. This is largely because of how pressure influences their thinking and reactions.
Pressure commonly leads people to two kinds of behavior: over-confidence, which can lead to poor judgment, and over-analysis, which can lead to paralysis. To be successful under pressure, it's important to learn to avoid these temptations, and that starts with learning how pressure influences your thinking.
People's perception of a situation or challenge can be clouded by negative thoughts that are driven by emotions. However, it's at these times that you need to think most clearly. To perform effectively under pressure, it's important to be able to recognize the real challenge presented by a situation, and to have a strategy in place to take effective action.
This course outlines some ways that you can avoid the behavior associated with over-confidence and over-analysis. Then some principles for defining the true challenge of a situation are laid out, including learning how your thoughts can be distorted, and how to revise these thoughts.
Finally, a method for taking effective action in high-pressure situations is outlined, along with opportunities to practice that action.
But, we are going to see all in detail throughout the course. You will have examples and exercises to practice, and even a short optional course project if interested. This will help you understand and get you ready to apply your newly acquired or reinforced knowledge and skills.
Next, as promised, something for a better learning experience.
