We developed a 2-day training program for traders from the Korean Futures Association (KOFA) who traveled long and far to visit Chicago’s CME/CBOT and participate in a training program at Northwestern University.

 

TeachMeFutures.com invited us to conduct a webinar on managing performance pressure.  Traders were facing industry changes (shifting from pit to screen) that challenged their endurance and livelihood. We compared traders execution of a trade to a golfers execution of a shot; both intend to avoid hazards & traps, find the fairway, hit the green and score big; but they also have to manage psychological pressure.

The most consistent fact of life is CHANGE. But the changes we’re living through in the wake of current economic reality is so disproportionate and volatile, that it’s triggering a cascade of fear and panic culminating in a flood of emergency 911 calls domestically and globally with a simple but desperate request.. “Rescue Me!”

If your looking for inspiration during times of pessimism, our 2.5 hour workshop will ignite optimism and provide the emotional fuel to help traders withstand adversity while enjoying learning lessons from explorers who risked life itself to find a true edge that brought them back from the brink of extinction.
