When faced with high-pressure decision-making, an old expression applies - 'A good plan today is better than a better plan tomorrow.' Being able to swivel the focus of your project is a necessary skill for your success in most careers. The ability to react calmly under increasing pressure in a high-pressure situation requires high emotional intelligence and adaptability. Provide an example that exhibits sound judgment while thinking fast on your feet. Discuss the results of your course of action, what you learned, and how you've grown from your experience.

"I had a large project last month that was nearly complete when the client called to say that the dimensions provided were incorrect. Because of this, our team had to redo the entire proposal. It took us an additional four days of work, but, in the end, the client was delighted with our work, and because of it, we gained new opportunities with them."

"I had worked with a VP in the company, the CEO, and a board member to craft a strategic national roll-out plan that included which companies and pitches I would be responsible for and what they would handle. Two months later, after working on the strategy each week as a collaborative team, I was informed that we were putting a pause on the project until further notice. The executives thought the company wasn't ready for such big clients yet, so I had to scale the national roll-out back to be a local market strategy. After the initial sting and frustration of pulling out of the project, I was able to use that same framework to plan local market roll-outs in several major cities effectively. It proved to be a good learning experience, overall."
