Sheepdog Skill: Composure

from The Mark Divine Show Hosted by Mark Divine

What happens when panic becomes a death sentence? In this episode of the Mark Divine Show, retired Navy SEAL Commander Mark Divine unpacks the eighth core skill in the Sheepdog Strong series: Composure. Discover why true composure is not about putting on a "stoic mask" to hide inner turmoil, but rather the active regulation of your emotions, body, and quality of being under extreme pressure. Mark shares the gripping survival story of Navy SEAL Platoon Chief "Big Rob" Laskey, who used deliberate physiological control to survive being trapped 60 feet underwater with no air supply. Learn how composure acts as a powerful leadership transmission to stabilize your team's emotional temperature, and discover two daily practices—the Temperature Check and the Chaos Conversion—to build your own unbreakable inner anchor.
