Build A Pressure Proof Team

how to thrive in high pressure environments

“Fall seven times, rise eight”  - Japanese Proverb


Anything great that's worth pursuing comes with challenges, pressures and setbacks.  In today’s environment your team is going to face more challenges, changes, setbacks and failures than ever before.  They will be under greater stress to deliver more in less time and with fewer resources.   

How quickly can your team bounce back?

Every day, sales teams face pushback, setbacks, and rejections.  Customer service & project management teams deal with a revolving door of problems, resistances and changes.   Educators have to balance high expectations with limited time and resources. 

Ongoing pressure and pushback can wear down even the most experienced people, resulting in teams becoming battle fatigued, falling over pebbles more easily, quietly quitting or getting caught up in negative undercurrents.

Unfortunately most people are never taught how to deal with high pressure, constant change, operating outside of their comfort zones or the impact of hearing ‘no’, and as a result their effectiveness and productivity are diminished and the likelihood of future success reduced. 


One of the most valuable skill set your team can have today is their ability to recover quickly from setbacks, spring forward from failure and keep moving forward.  

To become Pressure Proof  


Teams that can bounce back fast have 21% higher job satisfaction, 26% higher engagement, 27% less burnout and 31% lower turnover.

The Pressure Proof Institute builds teams that can take a knock and bounce back fast to get up and achieve more, engage stronger, and stay longer - in tough and competitive markets and high pressure environments.

The Platform Details

Your annual membership includes...

a. Introduction Overview
The welcome video tutorial gives you an overview of the 6 levels of resilience (from Fractured to Pressure Proof) and explains how to navigate the platform.

In the overview, you also can download the one-page action plan that will help you to quantify the specific outcomes the strategies will help you to achieve.  


b. Pressure Proof Diagnostic
There is a Pressure Proof Self Assessment Diagnostic that highlights where your resilience strengths lie and identify where you can improve.  You can use this Diagnostic before you start the program and then again a few months later so that you can track your improvements.  

The Diagnostic is a series of 20 self reflective questions about the four Pressure Proof competencies.


c. Video tutorials 
We have taken proven resilience strategies from all of the 4 Pressure Proof competencies and chunked them down into a series of 35+ concise and easy to understand video tutorials (ranging from 3-10 minutes each) that you can watch and implement right away.  The video tutorials are based on a number of psychological principles that are used to build your confidence, extend your capacity and accelerate your implementation. 

The four core competencies are:
i. Mental Toughness – staying focused, centred and making clear headed decisions.
ii. Tenacious Motivation - how to build grit, stickability and perseverance.
iii. Adaptability and Flow - Fostering Resourcefulness in the face of failure and adversity.
iv. Sustainable Energy - Output Stamina and managing it all without burning out.

Each video tutorial comes with an action sheet so you can anchor the strategies into your day-to-day activity.  The action sheets also contain a discussion point to help you share these principles with your team.

This is an ‘on demand’ program so you can access any video tutorial from any location (on any device) at any time - so you get to learn your way and on your terms. There is no pre-reading, no forms to fill in and no tests to take.


d. Live Online Seminars 
Every month, Michael will run a 30-minute live online seminar on topics ranging from personal performance, pressure management, building resilience, creating culture, and so much more. The seminars are recorded and made available to you for 2 weeks after the session in case you are unable to get to the live event. Click here to view the upcoming online seminars.  


e. Resource Library
You also receive access to a library of articles containing tips, strategies and research on thriving in high-pressure environments, as well as a collection of audio expert interviews on topics such as mindset, motivation, succeeding against the odds, developing grit, life balance, and much more!

What makes this platform so effective?

The Pressure Proof Institute is an online, on-demand self-study platform that uses a multi-media toolkit of 35+ concise and practical video tutorials and action sheets that you can implement right away.  

  1. Efficient: each video tutorial is concise, short and contains one key principle per tutorial that is easy to understand.
  2. Accessible: Like a 24/7 gym, you can attend as often as you like, whenever you like and, in this case,  from any device you like.  
  3. Convenient: There is no travel, no group training sessions and no exams - just a series of on-demand, topic specific, practical video tutorials.  
  4. Practical: Each tutorial is accompanied with an action sheet containing steps on how to implement the strategy, so you are 'learning by doing'.   
  5. Leveraged: Saves time when onboarding new team members and provides managers with a toolkit that can be integrated into your regular meetings and existing programs
