This session explores how habits shape the way we work under pressure, and how easily we can slip into reactive patterns in complex, fast-paced environments. When demands are high, habits such as over-preparing, constant busyness, or avoiding difficult conversations can take over, often reducing clarity, focus and effectiveness.
Through a combination of reflection and practical insights, participants will learn how to recognise these patterns and understand the role they play in day-to-day work. The session introduces simple, evidence-informed approaches to building small, intentional habits that support better decision-making, energy management and sustained performance. Participants will leave with realistic strategies to work more intentionally, even in high-pressure contexts.
