Episode notes

The adaptability paradox is when you most need to learn, change and adapt, it's the hardest to do. In high stakes, unfamiliar territory, we feel the stress but don't have the skills to respond in the right way. This doesn't always need to be a similar extreme crisis situation as that example of Captain Silenberger. The best thing you can do is manage your stress and focus on the skills that you have. But if you go into a different situation which is unfamiliar, that's where deliberate calm comes in. Then you need to learn and adapt on the fly.

Jacqueline Brassey shares powerful tactics for facing stress and uncertainty with calm and confidence.
