Summary
Graham Betchart, mental performance coach, joins Rebecca Smith for a practical conversation on what it really looks like to stay steady when the moment gets loud. The framework is simple and usable: build trust in yourself and your process, accept what you cannot control, and play present on purpose. For decision makers, this is the core business translation: pressure is not the problem. Untrained attention is.
Key takeaways
Presence is a skill you can train, not a personality trait
Trust comes from reps, not pep talks
Acceptance is the fastest path back to clarity
“Play present” is a daily discipline, not a game day concept
The best leaders manage their inner state first, then lead the room
