Dane is a keynote speaker, a thought leader featured in the Harvard Business Review and the Wall Street Journal, and an educator at leading business schools in North America.

During our conversation, we delve into the world of meta-skills, the nature of pressure, and its impact on various pursuits, from the Olympics to the general workplace. Dane shares valuable insights on how pressure can be a tool for growth and performance rather than a hindrance.

We explore the concept of meta-skills, such as self-awareness, empathy, flexibility, creativity, learning capacity, and resilience, and discuss how these skills can help individuals adapt to the fast-paced changes in today's work environment. Dane emphasizes the importance of feedback, self-reflection, and developing a mindset that embraces continuous evolution.

Tune in to gain practical tips and strategies to harness pressure positively and enhance your performance at work.
