Leading under pressure
How to develop resilience, improve performance and maintain health
Businesses all over the world are looking for a means to become more productive. Individual managers want to give of their best whilst minimising the effects of stress and pressure on themselves and their families. However, the evidence of the inexorable increase in stress in the workplace is all around us.
As a result of our human evolution, stress makes us both strong and stupid; it diverts oxygen-rich blood away from our brain and into our large muscle groups. This equips us beautifully to fight or run away but not to think clearly. In a busy office, boardroom or negotiation, it is not helpful to be strong and stupid at such times!
The HeartSpheres approach brings together well-researched techniques from medicine and psychology to teach people how to react differently under pressure. It teaches unobtrusive and simple techniques that influence the way our heart interacts with our brain in order to reverse the effects of stress as it happens, promoting clear thinking and good decision-making.
Used whenever needed these techniques help us to instantly minimise crisis situations and improve emotional responses and performance under pressure.
Used regularly and over longer periods of time, the techniques also benefit our health, bring down blood pressure and rest heart rate (where applicable), help us guard against cardio-vascular accidents, such as strokes and heart attacks, and also help us avoid diabetes and other diseases.
Most of us have learned that any claims that sound too good to be true probably are. Yet the scientific evidence for the claims made here are strong and published in mainstream medical journals:
The first key issue is heart rate variability and it can easily be brought under our control for the benefit of our work, our moods and our health.
The second key issue is managing emotional response (self-management) to develop resilience, improve performance and sustain health.
The techniques are highly effective in helping to achieve both heart arte variability improvement and emotional response management. They are also easy to learn and to practice in a busy and challenging environment.
In half-day, one-day or two-day seminars, we can teach these techniques to you and your colleagues as we have for many others at SAID Oxford Business School, Academy Schloss Krickenbeck, Norwich Union, Linde Gruppe, the National College for Leadership in Schools and Children Services, the NHS and elsewhere.
In cooperation with the Edgecumbe Group we also offer executive leadership assessments with particular emphasis on leadership capabilities and handling of pressure.
We use a wide range of well-validated psychometric tools to help us to analyse and measure talent, attitude and ability.

We also offer a 24-hour ECG Heart Rate Variability analysis (Autochronic Image) to identify health risks and the impact of pressure on the autonomic nervous system and help to further individualise the coaching process. For more information, please see Diagnostic.
