Student WorkshopsPerformance Under Pressure
Help your students to thrive, even under the pressures of exams and academic life.
Our Performance Under Pressure workshops introduce students to the key skills needed to manage their stress. This allows them to prepare for and produce their best work under the inevitable pressure of academic life that arises whilst meeting deadlines and during the build up to exams, the exam season, interviews, presentations and in sport.
The philosophy behind our workshops is that, once you have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed at something, you are often required to reproduce them under pressure or stress.
The ability to do this can be taught; we do this using the LEAP model: Language, Emotional control, Attention, Physiology.
This workshop will help your students improve their:
- Exam nerves
- Confidence
- Stress coping skills
- Self-regulation
