A pep talk from a coach can do wonders for an athlete struggling to rise to the occasion when the stakes are high. But all of us face moments like that in everyday life — times when we want to show up well but find our nerves or emotions taking over. This is especially true in difficult conversations, where staying grounded can feel impossible. According to communication expert Jefferson Fisher, we can be our own coach in those moments. In this video lesson, he shares how to craft personal phrases that help you steady yourself and meet the moment with intention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive content, early, ad-free access to new releases, and more. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Explore content that enlightens, inspires, and transforms. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ►Get Big Think+ for Business Engage learners like never before with high-impact video microlearning from the biggest thinkers in the world. https://bigthink.com/plus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Jefferson Fisher: Jefferson Fisher is a Texas board certified personal injury attorney, business owner, and communication expert.
