Book Description

Publication Date: August 29, 2008

If you feel like the professional juggler, multi-tasking and wishing for three extra pairs of hands, a new brain or if you are plotting to order a couple of clones of yourself, this book is meant for you. Millions around the world are thinking, planning, and scheming how to stretch a 24 hour-day into an endless and productive working day, an endless loop of useful time. Leading Under Pressure summarizes the many challenges executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, and road-warriors face in the current fast-paced corporate craze, where exceptional expectations in productivity and performance are the norm. These executives face the daily quandary of finding new ways to thrive in order to achieve higher goals, with increased competition, progressively limited resources, and the same manpower. Leading Under Pressure represents many hours of work as a wellness coach, corporate consultant, and medical doctor, incorporating lessons learned from the bench to the bedside to the workplace!

Editorial Reviews

Review

In her book Leading Under Pressure, Dr. Gabriela Cora depicts and addresses the most important challenges that Executives and Corporate Professionals face in their daily practices. The content of this book is as useful to the busy business executives as it is to physicians at large, and especially to psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. In this text, Dr. Cora demonstrates extremely well the role of stress and burnt-out vis-a-vis medical and psychiatric conditions. Obviously, this book is essential for everyone interested in the topic of health and well-being. --Pedro Ruiz, M.D., Past President, American Psychiatric Association

Women Business Enterprises and business women in general live under all sorts of pressure and perform daily balancing acts. Some of us have developed skills to help us cope with our roles as business and community leaders, mothers, sisters and daughters. Many of us need help - that's where Leading under Pressure comes in - a great resource for us all. Thanks, Gaby for your insight, your thoroughness and your ability to help us not only define, but refine what we are looking for and what we can expect. --Nancy Allen, President & CEO, WBDC, Florida Affiliate of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council

Entrepreneurs rarely have the opportunity to openly discuss the unique stress they experience in their lives. I was very impressed by your ability to immediately resonate with a group of business owners from around the world. I truly believe you made a difference in each of our lives that day. --Calvin Carter, Business Owner & EO Member, EO Regional Director, North America

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ FOR LEADERS AND FORTUNE 500 EXECS!, November 5, 2008

This review is from: Leading Under Pressure: Maximize Your Health While Building Your Wealth (Paperback)

I read this book on a flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles. It is full of insightful wisdom and in my opinion is a must read for Fortune 500 executives from the CEO to managerial level and even small business owner can benefit from this tome. As a executive coach that specializes in working with high-profile CEOs, celebrity experts, and individuals in the public eye I truly appreciate Dr. Cora's emphasis on the importance of maintaining high-levels of self-care above all else. Time and time again I work with clients living a life on the go, go, go that is driven without self-care in mind and with them focused solely on the demands of leading and running their business. Dr. Cora addresses this problem eloquently and offers wonderful wise sage advice that draws on her background as a doctor who also showcases extensive business acumen. Another reviewer of this book put things in perspective very well. If you are not taking care of yourself, nothing else really matters. By taking care of yourself in a way that honors your wellness, you as a leader can peak perform under all conditions and situations and truly showcase your best self.

I loved this book. Easy to read and understand. I run a small company with no employees yet everything Dr Cora presented was something I could use! I could only image what I could pull from her book if I was running a larger business. The remarkable information I gained from "Leading Under Pressure" has let me sleep better at night and let me leave business where it needs to be left (within the working hours of life). Now I cherish coming home to a house full of family, what once seemed like a chore is now a pleasure. Thank you Dr. Cora for helping me flip my success in life around!!!
