Performance Psychology Pleger (He/Him)

I am passionate about helping people succeed. I want to be there when they thrive and when they go through hard times. Because it is consistently in the way of success, I specialize in STRESS. 𝐖𝐡𝐲? 1️⃣ Everyone faces stress, the people I work most with who are in leadership positions even more so. 2️⃣ Very few actually know what stress is, what it does to them, and how to effectively manage it. 3️⃣ Stress, when not handled well, is the single most destructive thing I have come across.

This is where your mind will try to push the danger away in some form: ● “This may or may not be relevant in 20 years, whatever” ● “I am not the kind of person that struggles with this” ● “What I do has worked so far, it will keep on working” PLEASE do not fall into any of the traps above, the threat is real, for all of us.
