Are You Too Cool Under Pressure?

Tip
We all handle stress differently. And while remaining cool under pressure can be an asset, your unruffled nature could also be mistaken as nonchalance or a lack of interest.
One way to counter this unfortunate impression is to over-communicate. Don’t assume that your colleagues know if and when you’re taking something seriously.Be explicit about how you’re approaching the problem — even if you don’t show outwardly that you’re sweating it.
Another option is to share the tactics you use to stay calm, whether it’s overpreparing, changing your mindset, repeating positive affirmations, or biting off small chunks of big tasks. This will help your colleagues understand you better and perhaps give them some stress-alleviation techniques they can employ for themselves.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of empathy. Asking a simple question like, “What can I do to help?” demonstrates that you recognize the stressful situation and shows that you care.

🇨🇳 你在压力下是不是太冷静了？
我们处理压力的方式不同。 虽然在压力下保持冷静可能是一种财富，但你的镇定也可能被误认为是漠不关心或缺乏兴趣。
消除这种不幸印象的一种方法是过度沟通。不要以为你的同事知道你是否认真对待某件事。要明确你是如何处理这个问题的，即使你表面上没有表现出你很着急。
另一个选择是分享你用来保持冷静的策略，无论是过度准备，改变你的心态，重复积极的肯定，或从大任务中分离出小问题。这会帮助你的同事更好地了解你，也许还会给他们一些可以为自己减轻压力的技巧。
最后，不要低估同理心的力量。 问一个简单的问题，比如“我能做什么来帮助你？” 表明你认识到了压力的情况，表明你关心。
