The meeting turns hostile, the plan collapses, the number comes in wrong, and they are still thinking clearly while everyone around them has gone quiet or gone hard.\nThat is Mental Agility. \nThe capacity to move between demands, tasks, roles and relationships while staying grounded and effective when conditions change. It is trainable, and it is the capability every organisation is now asking for without ever having taught it.\nPQ founder, Andrew May, PQ COO, Angela Poon, and Sports Psychologist, Jacqui Louder, spent 6 months building mental agility into six layers. \nWhat your brain does to you under pressure. \nWhy your body sets the ceiling on your thinking. \nHow your identity decides what an event means before conscious thought gets a say. \nThe six seconds that stop you saying the thing you regret. \nHow to actually retain what you learn. \nThe hardiness that has you growing through pressure instead of surviving it.\nNow, they are walking you through all six layers here, with one strategy from each you can use this week. Andrew brings you into his real life test of mental agility with a gripping story of being upside down, underwater, strapped inside a helicopter fuselage in the dark, with an instructor offering him a way out. \nBut what he does next is where mental agility shows up...\n\n00:00 The word everyone uses and nobody can define\n04:12 Your brain under pressure is not a character flaw\n07:21 What AI can't give you\n11:10 Elite sport, clinical psych, actual clowns\n14:24 Why an insurer is training this\n17:51 Leaving KPMG for a startup\n23:43 The three zones\n28:18 The brain runs on the body\n35:03 Why the same words land differently on different people\n39:14 Hanging up the bad day jacket\n46:55 Upside down, underwater, offered a way out\n52:25 How to work with us\nLearn more about a Mental Agility program for your team here or email us at support@performanceintelligence.com\nContact Jacqui Louder here","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}
