  • What do you say to a sales team that’s missing its targets six months before the company floats?
  • What do you say when asked to fast-track hundreds of students by two academic years? 
  • What do you say when an athlete is about to swim a final, knowing this is their one chance and 30 million people are watching?
  • What do you tell someone who’s just been asked to memorise the Sydney Yellow Pages?
