Steady Under Fire
Feel Less Drained, Think More Clearly, Lead Better Under Pressure
High performers know how to handle pressure. You may have built your life around being the person who can carry a lot, move fast, and keep going when other people would stop. But when that becomes your normal, it can start to affect how clearly you think, how quickly you react, and how you show up in your work and your life.

High performers are used to being counted on.
You’re often the person people turn to when the stakes are high, the timeline is tight, or the situation needs a steady hand. You know how to carry responsibility, make decisions, and keep moving when there’s a lot coming at you.
But there’s a difference between handling pressure and staying clear inside it.
Over time, the pace can start to change how you think, how quickly you react, and how present you’re able to be with the people around you. Not because you’re doing anything wrong. Because leading under pressure takes more than discipline, organization, or another system.
It takes the ability to recognize the state you’re operating from before it starts shaping your decisions, your communication, and the tone around you.
That’s what this free live class is about.
Jeremy Hunter, PhD, has spent nearly twenty years teaching professionals how to work with pressure in a more deliberate way. In this conversation with Tami Simon, he’ll introduce a practical framework for noticing when you’re moving from a reactive state, a depleted state, or a steadier state where more options are available.
Jeremy calls this leading from your green zone: a place of greater clarity, presence, and responsiveness under pressure.
You’ll have a chance to check in with your own state during the class and begin to recognize what red, grey, and green feel like in real work and real life.
By the end, you’ll have a clearer way to notice when pressure is starting to drive, and what becomes possible when you can catch it sooner.
In this free live class, you’ll learn:
How to recognize the state you’re operating from before it quietly drains you or starts shaping your decisions and communication.
Why the pressure you’re carrying often leaves you feeling depleted and affects the room, even when you think you’re keeping it contained.
What may actually be happening when pushing harder stops producing better results, and leaves you more worked up.
How staying present keeps you steady and clear and changes the way people experience you, your decisions, and your direction.
Why managing your own state may be one of the most important skills you were never formally taught.
Why this hour is only a starting point, and how the Inner MBA gives you the time, structure, and teachers to make this way of leading your default.
Who this is for…
This class is for people who are carrying a lot and still expected to create the best outcomes.
You may be leading a team, running your own business, managing clients, or holding responsibility that other people don’t always see. You’re probably used to being the capable one. The person who figures it out. The person others look to when things get complicated.
That ability has likely served you well.
But at a certain level, simply pushing harder stops being the best answer. The real work becomes learning how to stay clear, steady, and responsive when the pressure is high and people are counting on you, without it leaving you drained or worked up.
That’s the skill this session is designed to help you begin building.

She founded Sounds True in 1985 with a clear mission: to disseminate spiritual wisdom. What started as a project with one woman and her tape recorder has grown into a multimedia publishing company that features hundreds of leading teachers and visionaries of our time. Sounds True has produced over 3,000 titles, including events, certification programs, and transformational online learning experiences, and is North America’s leading publisher of spoken-word spiritual teachings.

Most professionals are trained to manage strategy, teams, calendars, and outcomes.
Far fewer are trained to notice the state they’re operating from, and how much that state affects how they feel and the people around them.
That’s the focus of this hour.
Join us live for Steady Under Fire and learn how to stay clearer, steadier, and more effective when the pressure is high.
