About this webinar

Date: February 25th, 16:00PM GMT
Speakers: Dr. Seán O’Meara, Clinical Director at Zevo and Sharon Nannetti, Global Services Delivery Director at Zevo. Facilitated by Maria McCann, Digital Organisational Psychologist at Future Focus.

High-pressure roles are entering a new phase. Sustained workload, constant change, and intensified performance scrutiny mean pressure is no longer episodic, it is continuous. Across high-pressure environments, teams are being asked to deliver more with less recovery, reduced certainty, and growing personal strain.

In this conversation, our speakers share frontline insight, clinical perspective, and operational experience to unpack what Q4 revealed about working under sustained pressure. The discussion focuses on the patterns emerging across high-pressure environments and what they mean for performance, engagement, and wellbeing.

The session explores where pressure is intensifying, how psychological safety and capacity are being impacted, and what organisations can do to support sustainable performance when pressure doesn’t pause.

Key Themes:

  • Sustained performance pressure and reduced capacity
  • Psychological safety as a driver of engagement
  • Fear of boundary setting and overextension
  • Change fatigue and erosion of trust
  • Leadership strain and job preservation behaviour
  • Emotional numbing and compassion fatigue
  • Difficulty switching off and persistent cognitive load
  • Financial stress as an amplifier of strain
  • Belonging, hybrid friction, and return to office anxiety
  • Identity, self-worth, and self-silencing under pressure
