Coach’s Corner

Pressure often reveals the stories we don’t realize we’re carrying. Assumptions about responsibility, control, or expectations can quietly drive behavior and drain momentum. This week is about noticing those internal narratives without judgement. Awareness creates space, and space creates choice.

TIDAL Tip of the Week

When you feel tension or stress, pause and ask yourself three questions:


·What am I feeling right now?

·What story am I telling myself about this situation?

·What choice do I actually have here?


Writing this down, even briefly, helps separate facts from assumptions and brings you back into intentional leadership rather than automatic reaction.
