Barack Obama reveals his three tricks to remain calm even when under pressure

Barack Obama was famous during his presidency because of the always quiet and relaxed public appearance. Sometimes the media called it “No drama Obama” (No drama Obama) and not always in a positive sense.

During His Word in One The conference on technology in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A., organised by the software company “Qualtrics”, he acknowledged that there is something true in the nickname that has attached to the media. But he added that no matter how quiet others seemed to be when he was younger, he felt depressed again because of fear of some mistake.

I have a uniform temperament and I never feel too high or down with humor. But that doesn't mean that throughout my presidency and my professional career there were no moments when I wasn't nervous thinking “O My God, I don't want people to feel disappointed by me, I don't want to be seen as someone who made a mistake or failed” -- he said.

It was during his second term that he experimented with what he described as a “release from his fears”, which helped him achieve better productivity in office. “No doubt over My second term, I was a better president than in it The first, and that did not depend on the analysis or policy”- not stated Obama.

This connects with what happens in any career, whether in sports, or whatever it is - when you have it Enough experiences, enough situations Repeat, and by You know the nature of problems, you start to focus. To the task and not to how capable you are of doing it, confidence comes together With it”- stressed Obama.

He said it was the course he held during Iran's nuclear agreement negotiations, where he tried to convince Iran to It destroyed the nuclear weapons program, and the Paris Climate Accords, a historic agreement between governments throughout the world. The world.

He did not focus on polling figures or experts, but on “ahead of him This vision that I have, and I hope that there will be a place for the creation of a better US”, he said. But there is more to experience than simply self - confidence.

Obama also took some deliberate steps to stay focusedChoose a working directoryR. This included access “don't read media about you”. He has not read (and sees) social media comments, nor does he see analysts on television.

These include not only people who criticize him Him, and those who praise. If people compliment you too much, they will endSh thought I knew more than I actually know”- said Obama, stressing that this thing can lead to an inflated ego, which is equally harmful.

He began to consider it a source of distraction all those public comments about him: “Coments are not useful to me that to do the job or solve a problem, rather they are meant to fuel possible anxiety”.

And these techniques can work for anyone:

1. Spend Your Time as a student, collecting information from people who know more about a subject than you do. Obama says he constantly asks questions until he is inside the situation, sometimes asking his experts to be more understanding or explain things in plain language.

2. Focus on the activity you can make a donation. Do your homework. Do your best, and believe that if a mistake or problem occurs, you can repeat the same process to solve it and learn from it.

3. Don't fill your head with it what people say about you, good or bad. Make it Your job. Don't take anything personal. ♪ One of the ways I tell you this ♪Tip My girls is, paradoxically, removing your ego from it Which you do, you will be released and will eventually be able to behave better and more carelessly”- he said. / Business Insider World.al
