"We need to think carefully about whether it's going to be the kind of pressure that creates energy and joy and diamond-style transformation, or the sort that sucks the air out of the room and makes things buckle and break."

Pressure is the new normal - in life, at work, in leadership, and also in writing. Other people put pressure on us, we put pressure on ourselves, we put pressure on other people...

This Best Bits episode explores how we deal with that, and also whether it's possible to use it well, and to find some joy in it. (Spoiler alert: it is.)

Hear from:

Henry King on becoming 'change native'
David Sinkinson on how to enjoy pressure in the moment
George Walkley on turning negative feedback into fuel for progress
Dominic Colenso on the transformative power of career meltdown
John Amaechi on curating your own power and the discipline of writing
Zoe Arden on the pressure to do justice to others in your writing
Catherine Xiang on the pressures you don't even know are there.

Pressure is inevitable, how we respond is down to us.
