Pressure has a way of revealing patterns we'd rather not see.

• Defensiveness.
• Control.
• Avoidance.
• Reactivity.

But these experiences aren't signs that we've failed.

They're opportunities to notice what's driving our behaviour.

In this Quick Spoon, Ross explores one of the central ideas behind psychological flexibility: once we notice what's running us, we create the possibility of choosing differently.

And that's where leadership begins.

Key Quote

"Pressure doesn't reveal who we are. Pressure reveals what's running us."
