How to Handle Pressure at Work Without Taking It Personally
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve ever felt your judgement questioned at work, struggled to stay calm under pressure, or found yourself over-explaining decisions in senior conversations, this episode will resonate.
As you move into more senior roles, leadership pressure changes. Visibility increases, expectations rise, and decisions carry more weight.
In this episode, Liz Boswell explores why experienced professionals (especially women) often feel greater scrutiny as responsibility increases, and how to handle pressure at work without losing your authority.
We explore:
• Why your judgement is questioned more at senior level
• How pressure and risk change how people listen
• The difference between healthy challenge and persistent doubt
• Why high-performing women can over-explain or become defensive
• How to stay calm and maintain authority under pressure
If you’re navigating leadership transition, stepping into a more senior role, or making high-stakes decisions at work, this conversation will help you think clearly and respond with confidence.
Making Bold Moves is a podcast for people who are capable, thoughtful, and quietly questioning how they’re showing up at work and in life.
I’m Liz Boswell. I work with leaders and professionals who don’t need more advice, but do need space to think clearly, especially when the pressure is on.
Each episode is a calm, mentoring-style conversation grounded in real client moments. We look at the stories people carry, the behaviours those stories create, and the small, practical shifts that change how things land day to day.
You’ll hear honest reflections, psychologically precise questions, and simple actions you can try immediately, without overhauling your life or becoming someone else.
If you’re stepping into more responsibility, more visibility, or simply feeling the weight of decisions that matter, this podcast is here to help you slow things down, think more clearly, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and real.
A quiet companion for people who want to make better moves, not louder ones.
