• Performance Pressure Snapshot™

  • Discover your default relationship with pressure—and what's keeping you from performing at your best.


    Think of this as a snapshot—not the full picture.

    This short exercise is designed to help you better understand how pressure may be influencing the way you think, feel, and perform.

    Your results won't tell you everything about how you perform under pressure—but they will reveal whether pressure is quietly helping or hindering your performance and where there may be opportunities to grow.

    Answer each statement honestly using the scale below.

    1 = Never | 2 = Rarely | 3 = Sometimes | 4 = Often | 5 = Always
