How well do you perform under pressure? Join Mylène Baxter, executive coach and equestrian psychologist in this latest episode of Making Sense of Work.

Jean and Mylène discuss:
- The parallels between equestrian psychology and leadership
- How mindset affects our performance at the moment and what we can do about it
- What is required of leaders to perform under pressure.
