Drop a gear

on command.

FIVE WAYS OUT OF OVERDRIVE

For the leader whose engine never drops below redline.

Your nervous system shifts up when the deadline hits. That is not a flaw. The trouble is it never shifts back down. You sit down to rest and the revs stay high. You cannot drop a gear by force. You do it by working the actual controls.

What's Inside

Five moves that take your engine out of high gear

The Instant Downshift

The breath pattern that switches on your calming system within seconds. Sixty seconds in a meeting, five minutes as a daily habit.

Run the Engine Daily

Why a 20 minute walk beats a punishing workout when you are already running hot, and the two short strength sessions that lift resilience.

Let the Engine Cool Overnight

The one sleep habit that anchors your whole body clock, and the loop between stress and poor sleep that quietly runs leaders down.

Ease Off the Throttle

Five minutes of attention training for the overthinking and the harsh inner voice. Short enough that you will keep it up, plus the long gear: yoga, tai chi or qigong.
