Heart hammering. Sweat beading. Every mental tool in the toolkit, breathing, self-talk, all of it, failed Dr Michael Gervais in real time.\n\nMichael is one of the world's leading performance psychologists and was moments away from presenting to the international body of sports psychologists. The researcher whose theory he was challenging was sitting in the front row. And he was falling apart.\nWhat pulled him back had nothing to do with technique. It was accidental. Mundane, even. And it became the foundation of a 27-year daily practice that he still runs today.\nPresence is not a personality trait. It is not something you either have or you don't. It is a trainable skill, and most of us have never once trained it deliberately.\nThis conversation will change how you think about pressure, performance, and what it actually means to show up when the moment counts.\nYou can find Dr Michael at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmichaelgervais/\nListen to the Finding Mastery Podcast: https://findingmastery.com/\nYou can find JC at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-clarke-1152a065/?originalSubdomain=au","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/crvu0qkU_nPKdfaX6_m4Qg8iubjexgpghzQo9EZjyAU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83N2Fh/MWFmM2U1OTAyMDRj/ZDg3MTVjZTdiODM1/ZTVkYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
