Through personal stories, honest insights, and conversations with entrepreneurial trailblazers, Emma-Louise offers the perspective and tools introverted entrepreneurs need to unlock fresh energy and momentum in their business. It’s not about chasing hacks or forcing extrovert strategies - it’s about managing your energy so the external wins follow naturally.

Episode 226: How I Think About… Performing Under Pressure
What does it really take to stay solid and grounded when the stakes feel high?
In this solo episode, I’m sharing how I think about performing under pressure - drawing from almost 2 decades in one of the world’s most stressful jobs and 6 years coaching ambitious entrepreneurs.
I explore:
- How calm confidence is actually a competitive edge in leadership
 - Why, believe it or not, introverts often thrive in high-pressure environments
 - The difference between pressure and stress (and how I avoid tipping over)
 - Why owning “enough” is more powerful than doing “everything”
 - Why pressure becomes easier with practice
 - Why your ability to deal with pressure isn’t fixed - and how rituals, routines and ‘tools in the box’ are what really separates those who perform well from those who don’t
 
🎧 Tune in now and rethink what it means to perform at your best when it matters most in your business.
