How to Stay Focused Under Pressure with Jamie Turner — Part 1

How to Stay Focused Under Pressure with Jamie Turner — Part 1

What if managing your time and energy felt less like a constant battle and more like a set of intentional choices that actually boost performance?

In this episode of Time Billionaires, Rebecca speaks with Jamie Turner, performance and leadership expert, CNN contributor, and Emory University professor whose work on flow and presence has been featured in outlets like The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Business Insider. He has also helped Fortune 500 leaders improve productivity under pressure.

They explore how to stay focused under pressure, reduce overwhelm, and improve productivity by changing how we interpret stress, identity, and performance. Jamie explains why shifting from fixed self-labels to growth-oriented “I am” statements can reshape how the brain responds to challenges, improving confidence, focus, and resilience.

They also discuss how detaching from outcomes helps unlock flow states, and why viewing setbacks as temporary “blips” can support better emotional regulation and long-term wellbeing.

If you struggle with overwhelm, perfectionism, or executive functioning challenges, this conversation offers practical mindset shifts to improve focus, time management, and productivity.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why life’s ups and downs are temporary “blips,” and how this mindset improves resilience and focus
  • How executive function challenges often show up as self-blame and how to reframe them productively
  • How flow states improve performance when you stop forcing outcomes (examples from sports and performance psychology)
  • How “I am” statements shape identity, confidence, and long-term behavioral change
  • How micromoments of pressure vs. calm affect productivity, stress, and decision-making
