Managing Workplace Anxiety Training - Perth

Preventing and Managing Workplace Anxiety Training Perth

Course Outline

Facilitator: David Smith, Leadership Coach

Course Overview

What if the very thing that is meant to give you security and purpose in life is the very thing that is stressing you out most? How many otherwise good professionals abandon promising careers simply because they never learnt to manage the kind of anxiety that's inevitable in a high pressure workplace these days?

This extensive programme covers what is one of the greatest challenges we face in today's workforce. Based on empirically validated psychological principles and examples of application in working life, the participants will, during the second training day, be given practice and tools to identify, understand and manage anxiety in professional settings.

The programme goes beyond generic stress management: enabling those who participate to recognise and manage triggers for anxiety that are prevalent in the workplace and to develop practical and intrinsic motivation to build career resilience.

Summary

Anxiety at work doesn't have to derail your career, or detract from your professional satisfaction! This training is the missing link many professionals are looking for: easy to use, research based tools that fit into real work settings.

It doesn't try to tell you to just "calm down" or "think positive" , instead, it provides you with tools that you can actually use today to make a difference, whether you have a tough conversation on your calendar at 9 AM or find yourself taking on too much of others' work because you can't say no to anyone's problem.

The aim is not to remove all stress from the workplace, that would neither be realistic nor desirable. Instead, you will learn to control your anxiety, express your needs professionally, and acquire the coping tools you need to not just grow your career…but also maintain your health and sanity.

You'll leave this training with your very own personal toolbox stronger levels of self awareness and most importantly the confidence to work. Simply because the recovery of workplace anxiety isn't just about feeling better, it's about unlocking your professional potential.
