Your heartbeat is fast, you feel a little shaky and you can feel your face getting hot and red. Does this sound familiar! Well anyone who has had to give a training, presentation, a keynote… may have at some point felt like this. It is normal and doesn’t last.

However the typical advice you get when you are feeling like this is, take some deep breaths and calm down. Which comes from a good place, but doesn’t always help.

What if there was a better way, using science?

In this short and informative episode  we challenge the common advice given on how to manage stress and anxiety. Jeanne shares research by Alison Wood Brooks, revealing the limitations of traditional advice like "calm down, breathe." Instead, we explore Brooks' approach, which suggests reframing anxiety as excitement to perform under pressure.  

Join us as we uncover the science behind this perspective shift.
