Final interview. Last round of funding talks. The presentation that could change everything. Five minutes before you walk into the room that determines your future.
Some people pace the hallway, feeding off the nervous energy. Others sit quietly, running through their preparation one more time. A few look completely relaxed, as if they're meeting friends for coffee. And some have no idea how they'll react until they step through that door.
Here's what changes everything: There's no single "right" way to handle the heat. There are four distinct pressure personalities, and your success has less to do with conquering pressure and more to do with understanding which type you are.
Most people spend their whole lives trying to be someone else when the stakes are high. They think courage means wanting the spotlight when they're natural system-builders. They think maturity means staying calm when they actually perform best with their heart racing.
You can spend your whole life fighting your natural pressure response, or you can learn to harness it. You can waste energy becoming someone you're not, or you can become excellent at who you are.
