Calm Under Pressure Workshop
At First Principles Constructors, working in high-pressure, complex environments is part of what we do.
Whether on-site or behind the scenes, staying focused and composed under pressure is a crucial skill that helps our people excel – not just professionally, but in everyday life as well.
To support this, our teams recently took part in a Calm Under Pressure workshop, led by performance coach Dave Wood.
These sessions are designed to equip our people with practical tools to manage stress, improve mental resilience, and perform at their best when it matters most.
Tools for Staying Steady in Tough Situations
The workshop provided valuable insights into:
- Breathing techniques to regulate stress and stay grounded in high-pressure moments.
- Mindset strategies to shift perspective and remain clear-headed when challenges arise.
- Practical tips for maintaining composure, making sound decisions, and keeping control in demanding situations.
The experience wasn’t just about theory – it was about hands-on learning and building habits that can make a real difference both on-site and at home.
Strengthening Our Team, One Session at a Time
“It was an awesome opportunity for the team to step back, reset, and learn new skills to use both at work and in everyday life,” says Andrew Rowden.
“The feedback’s been really positive, and we’ll definitely be looking to run more of these sessions in the future.”
A huge thank you to Dave Wood for sharing his expertise, and to our team for fully embracing the experience and making the most of it.
