Develop Your Competitive Edge

“Fall seven times, rise eight”  - Japanese Proverb


Do you want to be be able to....

  • Hit your sales and business targets faster in tough markets and high-pressure environments
  • Reduce staff turnover, absenteeism and stress leave, and keep good people?
  • Adapt quickly to unforeseeable changes without dealing with negative undercurrents or resistance? 


Anything great that's worth pursuing will require you to handle failure and pushback.  How quickly you can bounce back will determine how successful you will be.

In today’s business environment you are going to face more challenges, changes and setbacks than ever before.  You will be under greater stress to deliver more in less time with fewer resources.  

Over 65% of businesses fail in the first 10 years.   80% of sales need five follow-up interactions however 44% of salespeople give up after one rejection.  Only 20% Of the job applicants ever get to the interview round.

The last few years have left people feeling 'battle fatigued', spread thin, and overloaded.  They are now 'falling over pebbles' more easily, quietly quitting and getting caught up in negative undercurrents.    


The path to success in sales, enterprise and business lies in your speed of recovery from setbacks, your resilience to rise above your challenges, and your grit to keep getting back up again when things get tough.    


Gaining a competitive edge in sales and enterprise relies on your ability to turn your setbacks into springboards, obstacles into opportunities and strain into strength.    

To become Pressure Proof.

Research has found that resilient teams achieve:

  • Greater job satisfaction, work happiness, organisational commitment and employee engagement.
  • Improved self-esteem, sense of control over life events, sense of purpose in life and improved employee interpersonal relationships.
  • 21% higher job satisfaction, 27% less burnout and 31% lower turnover.


The Pressure Proof Institute teaches your team how to thrive in pressure environments and bounce back fast in tough and competitive markets.  

The Pressure Proof Institute gives your team a competitive edge to out-achieve their targets, out-perform their competition and out-last everyone.

Winston Churchill
