Organizations face big challenges: whether it is an accelerated rate of change, the threat of disruption, ambitious targets or aggressive competition. They can only overcome these challenges with exceptional leadership.
For over twenty years, Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry’s curiosity and passion for helping people manage their emotions has driven his research based approach (his organization surveys over 38,000 people a month) in developing science based skills and tools required to build a culture of exceptional leadership. His work with leaders from Fortune 500 companies such as Goldman Sachs, Intel, Coco-Cola and Johnson & Johnson, as well as the US Marines, Olympic athletes and NBA and NFL teams has provided him with considerable opportunities to test his science based tools in environments of high pressure. He knows what works when leaders face their most significant challenges.
As a provocative and highly captivating speaker and thought leader, JP brings engaging stories and a lot of fun to every keynote. He challenges groups to think differently about human behavior and leadership and how to manage the pressure that is overtaking so many organizations and individuals today. JP provides real tools to help teams leverage the power of the science of emotional intelligence to embrace pressure and manage the disruption and challenge they are facing.
JP is the co-author of the New York Times best seller, Performing Under Pressure: The Science of Doing Your Best When it Matters Most, published in 65 countries with multiple translations. When he is not traveling the globe, JP can be found reading, out dancing, or cherishing time with family. It is no coincidence that he loves working with professional and Olympic athletes as he is himself an avid and enthusiastic athlete. JP loves to participate in a variety of sports including running, volleyball, hockey, and swimming and considers himself a ‘professional’ rugby fan.
Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry is a keynote speaker and thought leader on the subject of high performance and managing change. Through years of research, he has closely studied individuals acting on the front-lines of organizations to determine what differentiates exceptional leaders from the rest of the pack. In the latest episode of the Eagles Talent Podcast, JP shares three tips for leaders and managers looking to maximize performance in high-pressure situations.
Dr. JP Pawliw-Fry’s Guide to Performing Under Pressure:
1) “Know your default behavior, and the impact it has on people.”
When thrown into high-pressure situations, many of us unknowingly react with “default behaviors.” A successful leader should recognize the impact their innate reactions can have on their time and adjust accordingly.
2) “Don’t confuse impact with intent.”
A successful leader should be clear when clarifying intention as to not mislead team members and employees. By doing so, the message can be communicated properly with little room for misunderstanding.
3) “Have ‘last 8 percent’ conversations.”
The last 8% of a conversation typically relays the most difficult part of the message. Many individuals tend to put the most energy into the first 92% and some skip the last 8% altogether. A good leader should not be afraid of having difficult conversations–without them an individual or organization can not improve performance or grow.

When facing a challenging conversation, most managers adequately cover the first 92% of content they want to cover. When they get to the more difficult part of the conversation, more often than not, they avoid the last 8% of the conversation. What’s missed is the critical information and feedback an individual or organization needs to improve performance, grow and achieve objectives.
Having the “Last 8% Conversation” is one of the key differentiators of world class organizations and
while having them is not easy, it is a skill that can be learned and mastered.
