Thinking Under Pressure
Notice how assumptions and interpretations shape behaviour, then respond more deliberately
Pressure can narrow attention and speed up judgement, making it easier to react before fully understanding what is happening.
This practical half-day workshop helps leaders recognise automatic thinking, separate observation from interpretation, test assumptions and reframe difficult situations to respond with greater clarity and flexibility.
Components
What the workshop covers
Practical discussion, workplace scenarios and guided activities across four areas.
Observation versus interpretation
Distinguish what was seen or heard from the meaning added to it.
Reframing and testing assumptions
Explore alternative explanations and check the evidence behind conclusions.
Choosing a deliberate response
Use reflection and cognitive flexibility to choose a response suited to the situation, relationship and desired outcome.
