Summary

This week Helen and Sarah talk about pressure and the tipping point between productive pressure and pressure that negatively affects your performance. They discuss how different types of pressure (anticipated and unanticipated) and your sense of control of a situation (high and low) affect the most useful response you can take. They share their own high pressure moments and different ideas for action that have helped them to respond with confidence.

Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Helen and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast. Every week we take a

0:08.5

different topic to do with work and we talk about ideas and tools that we hope will help you

0:13.8

and they always help us to navigate our squiggly careers with that bit more confidence and clarity.

0:19.9

And if it's the first time you've listened to the

0:21.3

podcast, you might not know about all the extra stuff that comes with this episode. So we have

0:26.3

pod sheets there, one page downloadable summaries about what we're going to be talking about so that

0:30.5

you can take some action. We have pod notes. They're sort of small, swipable, shareable things that

puts everything together in one place for you. And we also have Pod Plus, which is a conversation we

0:42.1

have on Thursday mornings, last 30 minutes. And it's a great chance to connect with a liked-minded

amazingif.com and on the podcast page, you'll be able to find everything there. And if you ever

1:06.6

can't, just email us. We're Helen sarah at squigglycareers.com.

1:16.2

And for those of you who do listen to the podcast regularly, often I think the topics give you a good insight into how Helen and I are feeling and what's going on in our world

1:21.1

and in our organisation at the moment. And this week we're talking about performing under

1:25.9

pressure. So we've had quite a lot of high pressure moments in the last month or so.

1:31.4

And we were reflecting on what helps you, what hinders you, the different types of pressure

1:37.8

and how perhaps we're better in some situations than we might be in others

1:42.1

and how we can learn the skill of coping and
