Every day in business is a constant battle to screen out noise, avoid interruptions and stay cool under pressure. It’s virtually impossible to be creative when you’re in “firefighting” mode, rushing in and out of meetings or feverishly reacting to messages the moment they arrive.

But if you find yourself in a tough situation or caught in the middle of a confrontational encounter, you must stay cool. The creative winners are the ones who are most positive and flexible, able to keep their heads when all those around them are losing theirs. This guarantees the fastest way back into your creative bubble.
