How do you overcome performance anxiety when you're supposed to be a top-notch lawyer? Performance and anxiety specialist Olivia James is here to answer all your questions.

We see lawyers as these highly confident, unstoppable machines. But in reality, many of them are struggling to keep their head above water. That's what Harley Street Performance and Anxiety Coach Olivia tells me.

She specializes in helping legal professionals overcome performance anxiety. We talk about the science behind why we can get hot and flustered and lose the ability to talk and think whilst in important meetings, pitches or presentations and how our stress levels can be linked to our ability to speak in a courtroom or in a meeting.

In this conversation, the most eye-opening part for me was understanding how firm culture can play a huge part in performance anxiety. This means that it is vital that you choose your work environment very carefully.

Olivia talks about where anxiety can come from when you're talking in front of people and tips on how to control your anxiety levels.---------------------------------------------
