About this episode

Ali Piotrowski shares the survival skill of maintaining composure in high-pressure situations, drawing from her experiences as a seasoned news reporter.

Ever lost your composure right when you needed it most? In a high-pressure moment, when everyone's watching and one wrong move costs you, most people freeze. This reporter learned to do the opposite. Seasoned news reporter, Ali Piotrowski breaks down the one skill that kept her sharp through war zones, Middle East conflict, and the chaos outside Trump's indictments: calm. Not the kind you're born with. The kind you train. She explains why composure became her edge, and why it can be yours too. If you work in a fast-moving, high-pressure environment, this one's worth a few minutes of your time.
