23. Why the Last 8% Matters Most with Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry

How often do you overthink things because you’re worried about impression management or file thoughts and feelings away because you’re hesitant to address something or someone in the present moment? Do you rehearse impending conversations in your mind to quell the anticipation?

If so, you’ve probably falsely fallen into the illusion that “the last 8%” – the most difficult part of something – has already taken place and you fizzle out at 92%.

JP Pawliw-Fry is a psychologist and international performance coach to senior leaders at Fortune 500 companies, the CIA, and Olympic athletes and coaches. He co-authored the bestselling book, Performing Under Pressure: The Science of Doing Your Best When It Matters Most.

Tune in as JP explains how fears, emotions, and external pressure often hinder our ability to reach “the last 8%” – the space where fundamental transformation happens – and how the consequences of not achieving “the last 8%” are often more significant than the fear or apprehension of the action itself.

Using science and research to ignite people to perform under pressure and tackle their biggest challenges, JP shares how top performers can identify key moments when they feel genuinely alive and act on that positive energy. For them, courage becomes the reward for overcoming fear.

Do you give the voice in your head too much control and fall short of the last 8%?
