Sales is a high-pressure job that often involves stepping out of your comfort zone and facing imposter syndrome.
To thrive, you need to develop a strong emotional muscle.
The question is:
How does emotional fitness relate to our performance under pressure and our long-term resilience in sales?
To help us with this today, we have Ben Drakes, Founder and CEO of Ben Drakes University. With an average deal size of over $150m, Ben held sales roles at Computacenter, Capita, and Serco for over 15 years. Today, Ben helps sales professionals perform at their best without sacrificing their physical or emotional well-being.

It's easy to relate to like-minded people, but what about those who are not like-minded? Those who live differently, in another part of the world, with different priorities, experiences, cultures, and contexts. They see the world differently from you, but can you understand them? Are you listening for the things that make us all more alike than we are different? In an increasingly "us and them" world, where connecting with 'like-minded' individuals is encouraged, this is a show for the non-likeminded. This is a platform that gives you the chance to understand and empathize with others. We want to inspire a reconnection of our common humanity by sharing the unheard stories and opinions around us. Why? Because listening is a skill we need to re-master if we are to fill in the gaps that exist between us. The MiMi YouYou Show's vision is to help overcome the global Empathy Deficit. To teach, encourage and imbue empathy, simply by listening in. We give every listener the chance to practice and create empathy with and towards others, every time they join us. The More The World Talks About Empathy, The More Empathy The World Will Have.

This week's guest on The Deep End is Dr. Emily Anhalt (@dremilyanhalt on Twitter). Dr. Anhalt is a psychologist, emotional fitness consultant, and the Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of Coa, which describes itself as building a gym for your mental health. Today's conversation is about how to train for emotional fitness. Just like trainers at a traditional gym might rotate clients between a leg day, chest day, and shoulder day, Dr. Anhalt and her colleagues have developed classes to train different traits of emotional fitness like resilience, empathy, and self-awareness.
In addition to discussing what exactly goes into performing the equivalent of an emotional push-up, we dive into how the pandemic has influenced the mental health landscape, analyze the stigma around seeking help, and compare & contrast in-person therapy with virtual options.

Just like physical fitness, emotional fitness has many dimensions. The goal of physical fitness is to feel good and move well. The goal of emotional fitness is for us to have a functional relationship with uncertainty. This means that we become equipped with the psychological resources to navigate life’s pressures. Similarly, we need the physical resources to handle life’s physical demands.
I am by no means an expert in physical fitness, but my own physical fitness journey has taught me that there are five key areas which seem to matter:
1. Identity - Core
Our identity is like our core strength. Core strength is what allows us to perform everyday movements like tying our shoelaces or reaching for something off a shelf. Without core strength or with a very weak core, we would experience the ripples in ways we would not enjoy.
Given the power of identity (what defines us owns us), we rarely psychologically stray from our perceived identity.
2. Life stage – Endurance.
Enduring life’s ups and downs over many decades, most certainly requires endurance of spirit, mind and body. Endurance means “to continue or last, especially despite fatigue, stress, or other adverse conditions.” Our life stage journey from ambition to meaning equips us in an array of ways to navigate the ever changing landscapes of our lives.
3. Values – Stability.
Our values serve as our emotional compass which influences decision making and how we spend our time, or make time for. In times of uncertainty, stability is what we crave. There are many different expressions of stability, one of those is performing activities which light us up. For example if going for a run turns your spirit on, then this may be one of the best things you could do whilst facing some challenges.
4. Emotional flexibility – Mobility.
Our emotions completely flavour every part of our experience. Most of our emotions don’t respond to facts. They respond to the meaning we give the facts. Becoming a conscious meaning maker gives us the mobility and flexibility to navigate stressful days.
5. Perspective- Strength.
Has anyone ever said to you, hey, you just need to get things into perspective! This matters a lot, because having a clean perspective gives us access to a bigger picture purview of our life and our place in it. Perspective is a great source of strength when something significantly challenging has occurred. Perspective will often help us get our eyes out of the details of the drama or problem we are facing, and into the bigger picture view of where we are headed overall.
