What do the best surgeons, skiers, and speakers have in common? They all know how to be present in the moment. Their success depends on it.
As anyone who's performed surgery, skied the black diamond slope, or delivered a masterful talk knows, maintaining that focus isn't easy. It takes a more heightened presence of mind than what we're used to moment by moment. What's more, you need to think hard and continuously about everything you do: Surgery is much more than thinking about your hands; skiing is much more than thinking about your edges; and speaking is much more than thinking about your words.
