188 Luisa Baldini, Broadcast Journalist: Composure Under Fire - What Leaders Get Wrong About Handling The Pressure
from The Unlock Moment: find your purpose for leadership and life · host Luisa Baldini
What does it take to perform when there is no second take … and no margin for error? In this episode, I speak with Luisa Baldini - former BBC correspondent and co-founder of Composure Media - about what it takes to communicate under pressure. For over two decades, Luisa reported live from major global events, often with millions watching, producers speaking in her ear, and events unfolding in real time around her. She shares what those moments taught her about composure, confidence and clarity … and why pressure doesn’t disappear as you progress in your career - it simply changes shape. We explore how leaders can think more clearly, communicate more simply, and stay steady when the stakes are high. Because composure isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you learn … when it matters most. The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — master interviewer, executive coach and author. Downloaded in over 140 countries.
