About this episode
In this heart-opening episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro sits down with sports psychologist and resilience expert Dr. Haley Perlus to explore a new way of leading under pressure. Drawing on real stories from the slopes to the C-suite, they uncover how high-performing leaders in Financial Services and STEM can transform stress into strategic momentum.
You will discover that resilience isn’t about bouncing back quickly, rather it’s about bouncing back with intention, clarity, and care. With honesty and humor, Dr. Ginny and Dr. Haley unpack the everyday pressures leaders face and how to meet them with presence, not panic.
By listening to this episode, you will:
Gain a fresh lens for identifying and responding to three different types of pressure
Learn a practical mindset reset that helps you and your team shift from overwhelmed to focused
Walk away with tangible strategies to lead with empathy, curiosity, and ownership
Whether you’re leading a team through transformation or simply trying to stay grounded under daily demands, this episode brings real tools and real stories to support your journey.
