Acknowledge the presence of emotions

The algorithm helped me stay calm in the most difficult situations:

Close your eyes;
Breathe slowly;
Develop a solution;
Open your eyes and take action.
I owe partly to this algorithm my rapid promotion from intern to leading specialist. And it is this algorithm that I still recommend to my mentees, being a team mentor at the educational intensive that I once completed, or an individual mentor for students of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, my Alma Mater.

There is another technique that

As Mark describes, helps everywhere. It is called “The Unexpected Question”. In the book, he gives the example of sales, but I will give bank database my own: I used this technique as a coach in sessions with my clients. A person talks about a goal that seems unrealistic to him. Here I can sometimes say: “You think this is unattainable.
