collectedness
State of composure
Collectedness is a state of calm self-possession, especially under pressure.
Where composure emphasizes outward appearance and equanimity suggests philosophical acceptance, collectedness highlights the mental act of gathering oneself together: Her collectedness in the crisis impressed everyone.
The word implies having marshaled scattered thoughts or emotions into focused control.
