The 60-Second Reset

A focus tool for high-pressure moments.

Pressure narrows thinking. Structure restores it.

Before entering an interview or critical meeting, take one minute:

10 Seconds

Physical Reset

Stand still. Slow your breathing. Shoulders back. Posture influences presence.

20 Seconds

Clarify the Objective

What is the purpose of this interaction? Not “get the job.”Demonstrate capability, clarity, and commercial value.

20 Seconds

Identify Your Three Anchors

Choose three points you must communicate:

• A measurable achievement

• A leadership example

• A systems or cost improvement you implemented

This prevents reactive answering.

10 Seconds

Control the Pace

Speak deliberately. Pauses signal composure.

Pressure tests structure. Structure restores control.
