07 Ways to Show Your Ability
to Handle Pressure at Work

3. 1. Remain calm, always.
Maintain a calm demeanor no matter what happens. This
takes some practice, but the more you practice, the better you
will get. Staying calm demonstrates that you have the ability
to take things in stride and complete your tasks even in the
face of difficult circumstances.

4. 2. Stay focused on what needs to be
accomplished.
Even though the day may be stressful, keep your mind firmly
focused on completing your regular responsibilities.

6. 3. Help others to get through their taxing day.
If you notice your co-workers are struggling with their tasks,
help them finish and become the leader you know you are!

7. 4. Sidestep the drama and stay positive.
Refuse to engage in arguments or other disagreements with
your colleagues. Keep busy to enable your thoughts to remain
positive and focused. We all get sucked into drama
periodically. But, if you are getting really wound up, stop and
think what you feel the final resolution should be. Stop,
breathe, take a step back, and the proceed with a clear mind.

9. 5. Get help if you need it.
Part of your job as an employee is to protect your employer.
Notice if there is something out of line and get the help that
you need immediately. Assessing the situation and taking care
of issues right away demonstrates that you can think clearly
under pressure.

10. 6. Take your breaks.
Taking short breaks helps you release pent-up stress,
rejuvenates you, and actually enables you to be more
productive. Take a walk to the restroom or just get up and
move about your office space.

12. 7. If you are feeling stressed, avoid letting it
show too much.
Carry on with your responsibilities, no matter what is going
on. Consciously bringing your mind back to your current action
in completing your important tasks will help you let go of
worrying and other stress.
