I've always loved the idea of trying something on a small scale before going all in. In my corporate days, we did this all the time with pilots. We would test a new idea, product, process, or system with a small group, see what worked, notice where things started to crack, and then decide what needed to change before taking it any further. That same approach has helped me in so many other areas of life too. Sometimes the best way to move forward is not to have everything figured out. It is simply to create a safe way to test what is calling you and pay attention to what you learn. Pressure testing can reveal a lot more than whether an idea will work. It can show us how we respond when we feel vulnerable, how other people react to change, and where we may be ready to grow. It can also teach us something about our relationships because we often learn the most about ourselves and the people around us when life gets uncomfortable. On today's Wise Walk, we explore where we may be playing it a little too safe, what we might be ready to test, and how we can use those experiences to build confidence, resilience, and deeper connections. Is there something in your life that has been calling you that you would really like to test?Is there an idea in your personal or professional life that excites you, but you have been hesitant to try?Could you pilot that idea on a small scale and see what kind of feedback you receive?What might you learn by testing the idea before making a bigger commitment?What is something you are curious about and ready to give a trial run?Who in your life could give you thoughtful, honest feedback as you test your idea?Are you willing to be brave enough to try something new and simply see what happens next?What is an area of your life where you have been playing it a little too safe lately?Have you become comfortable doing the same things because you know you will not fall?Where might you be ready to take a risk, try something new, and see how you can grow?When was the last time you cracked under pressure? Can you give yourself some self-love and self-compassion as you reflect on that experience?How were you able to move through that difficult situation?Was there someone who helped you move through it with a little more ease?Have you ever gone through a crisis with someone and felt your relationship deepen because of what you experienced together?Can you acknowledge the deeper connection you formed with someone who rose to the occasion with you?What did you learn about yourself during that difficult experience?What did you learn about the people who supported you?Can you feel gratitude for the growth and connection that came from moving through that experience together? The more we practice pressure testing, the better we get at handling what comes our way. It helps us build confidence and resilience, and over time, we may find that we are less reactive and better able to move through stressful situations with more ease. As always, I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode and what areas of your life you are excited to pilot and pressure test. Feel free to reach out and share, and be sure to tune in next Thursday for another Wise Walk. In this episode: [07:04] How the idea of pressure testing was inspired by one of my friends.[08:21] I also shared my ideas of a pilot test and charting the results.[10:07] All of these skills in having the pilot program are helping my friend grow. When we pressure test ourselves, we pilot our own ability.[11:14] We also get to see how we perform under pressure and discover our strengths.[12:55] We don't know how people will react or how the dynamics will play out unless we test them.[13:31] I'm going to pilot. I'm going to run a test. I'm going to see what comes out of it.[14:06] We should never look at a pilot failure as a personal failure. We gain so much in the process.[16:06] The other area where this comes to mind is the idea of relationships. You never really know someone until you experience a crisis together.[17:22] We all crack under pressure occasionally. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with us.[18:12] Pressure cooker careers like firefighters, police, and military professionals are often put in pressure cooker situations where they gain awareness of who has their back.[20:11] I've had my fair share of crisis situations in my life. I'm going to focus on gratitude for what I learned and gained through those experiences.[21:32] The more we work the muscle of pressure testing, the better we will get at it. Memorable Quotes: "Sometimes putting yourself out there is the pressure test that helps you find your voice." - Mary Tess"Sometimes the best way to move forward is to pilot an idea on a small scale and see what happens." - Mary Tess"Pressure reveals our strengths, our weak spots, and where we still have room to grow." - Mary Tess"The people who stand beside you under pressure can deepen your sense of connection and trust."...
