Bianca Riemer - The Secret to Staying Calm When Everyone Is Watching

<p>Most of us spend years becoming experts.</p><p>Then we discover that expertise and influence are not the same thing.</p><p>Knowing your subject does not guarantee that people will listen. Being right does not automatically create trust. And pressure has a curious way of making even highly capable people question themselves.</p><p>Perhaps leadership is not tested when things are calm. Perhaps it is tested when expectations are high, conversations are difficult, and everyone seems to have an opinion.</p><p>On July 2nd, I look forward to welcoming Bianca Riemer to Inspiring Conversations.</p><p>Our conversation, &quot;Calm Under Pressure: Leading When Everyone Is Watching,&quot; will explore what it takes to lead with credibility, communicate with authority, and build trust when the stakes are high.</p><p>Together, we&#39;ll explore questions such as:</p><p>• Why do some people seem to become steadier under pressure while others lose confidence?</p><p>• Why isn&#39;t competence always enough?</p><p>• How do we handle difficult stakeholders and challenging conversations?</p><p>• Can leaders influence without force?</p><p>• Is calm an underrated leadership skill?</p><p>Because perhaps people are not looking for leaders who have all the answers.</p><p>Perhaps they are looking for leaders who remain human when everyone else is becoming tense.</p><p>#Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Communication #Trust #Influence #ExecutivePresence #InspiringConversations #podmatch</p><p></p>
