Hintsa Expert Hour
Mindset under pressure – how the world’s top performers stay sharp when it counts.
join us on 15th January
How do you react when everything is on the line?
In this Expert Hour, CEO Annastiina Hintsa and Dr. Pete Lindsay, founder of Mindflick, explore what pressure does to decision-making, collaboration, and performance – and how leaders can build the mindset to perform when pressure is extreme.
We draw lessons from Formula 1, sailing, and the precision of ballet, turning elite performance insights into practical tools leaders can use right away. We’ll cover:
- How to make pressure measurable and manageable, not guesswork
- Common pressure responses and how they shape leadership behaviour
- When pressure profiles collide – the strengths and blind spots they create
