## Resource

What separates great leaders from the rest when the pressure is on? In this episode of Telling My Story, I sit down with Silvia Rizzo, a high-performance leadership expert whose work bridges the worlds of elite sports and business. For years, Silvia has worked in environments where every decision matters, mistakes are visible, and leadership is tested in real time. Drawing from her experience in high-performance sports, she shares practical lessons on resilience, decision-making, managing failure, and maintaining credibility when facing uncertainty. Together, we explore what pressure reveals about leadership, why mistakes can become opportunities for growth, and how anyone can develop the mindset needed to perform at their best—both professionally and personally. Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, athlete, or someone navigating life's challenges, this conversation offers valuable insights into performing with confidence when it matters most.
