Mastery Under Pressure With Tina Greenbaum

With heightened uncertainty so amplified, leaders must somehow
balance their own personal challenges but also that of the
demands of the organization they lead. Everyone is being pulled
in multiple directions. 


Our response to these demands must include increased
self-responsibility and self-reflection… and a specific focus on
that which we can control… and that is our attitude.  


Tina Greenbaum works with executives who want to increase
their performance level in high- stakes, high-pressure
situations. She’s an Optimal Performance Specialist and Sports

that leaders have to grapple with in today’s pandemic, the pain

to all that is happening around us. Leaders must become diligent
self-helpers and self-healers.

Key Takeaways:


“The more aware we become of our blind spots, the better people
we are, the better leaders we are. And so we all need somebody to
work as a mirror to help us kind of see things that we just don't
see.” - Tina Greenbaum


“When we are in a period of uncertainty, the greater the
uncertainty, the greater the anxiety. The more that we have
structure, the nervous system can calm down a little bit. And we
can proceed.” - Tina Greenbaum


“Mindfulness is being aware in the present moment, without
judgment.” - Tina Greenbaum


“I like to say, 'Do my thoughts produce something useful for me?’
And if they don't, then I'm responsible for changing them.”-
Tina Greenbaum
