In this episode we look at how individuals perform under high stress circumstances. Today I'm speaking with Ben Watts a critical care Paramedic who frequently has to perform under various levels of stress and difficulty. We examine how to get the best out of yourself under this stress by limiting human factors. Ben defines human factors and then gives examples of how these can infringe on our clarity of thought and action. Most importantly how we can mitigate human factors to consistently rise to the challenge of the task in hand.

Ben also looks at bias and heuristics and the integral relationship between these, we also examine the fragility of life and how to reframe life in a way that allows you to achieve balance and gratefulness.

I hope you enjoy this wide ranging conversation with an interesting friend and colleague.
