PREPARING TO FACE PERFORMANCE ANXIETY!

My next three trainings are three ACMC trainings, back to back— Rio de Janeiro, Guangzhou China, and Sydney Australia. Yes three in a row. And the one thing I can always anticipate is that there will be a group of people at each one who are excellent at creating high levels of performance anxiety in themselves at the very thought of being benchmarked. Do you know what I mean? Some of you do— and some of you also have that same skill well developed. :)

Each time I face this, I think and re-think, “How can I frame things so that those so skilled in creating performance anxiety and making themselves less effective in learning and developing, and making themselves miserable along the way, so that they can try a new and different way of learning?” And because it seems to be a strong human tendency to do this, I have also had this conversation the many other trainers as well as some of the Meta-Coach trainers.
