Conferences High Performance Under Pressure

 
 
   

In her conferences about High Performance Under Pressure addressed to business men and women, companies, universities and/or schools, Dolores offers her conference together with Valeria Torino from Gazing Performance Systems.

There are moments that are critical for us, for example, when we must make decisions we believe can be irreversible. A typical reaction under these circumstances is to feel we become paralyzed. Another can be blaming others for our bad luck. However, what really takes us to succeed or fail, succumb or prosper, is how we manage to overcome these pressures and manage them correctly to our favor, so we may reach our goals.

Here to Dolores’ conference, an analysis given by Valeria, about how to overcome mental obstacles during pressure situations, is added. Valeria analyses how Dolores’ brain works during moments of pressure and she gives us tools so that we may think clearly and be effective, instead of being overwhelmed in critical situations.
