Managing Workplace Anxiety Training - Perth
You know that feeling when Sunday night rolls around and your stomach starts churning just thinking about Monday morning? Or when you see your boss's name pop up in your inbox and your heart rate spikes before you even open the email? You're not alone, and you're definitely not being dramatic. Workplace anxiety is real, it's widespread, and it's affecting more people than ever before.
I've been training teams for over fifteen years, and I can tell you that anxiety in the workplace isn't just a "millennial thing" or something people need to "just get over." It's a legitimate response to the pressures, uncertainties, and demands of modern work life. Whether it's the fear of speaking up in meetings, worrying about job security, dealing with difficult colleagues, or feeling overwhelmed by impossible deadlines, workplace anxiety can seriously impact your performance, relationships, and overall well-being.
The thing is, most of us were never taught how to manage these feelings effectively. We learned technical skills, industry knowledge, and maybe some basic communication techniques, but nobody sat us down and said, "Here's how to handle it when work stress starts taking over your life." That's exactly what this training is designed to fix.
In this session, you'll learn practical, research-backed strategies that actually work in real workplace situations. We're not talking about fluffy mindfulness exercises that sound great in theory but fall apart when your manager dumps three urgent projects on your desk at 4:30 PM on a Friday. Instead, you'll get concrete tools you can use immediately, whether you're dealing with presentation nerves, imposter syndrome, difficult conversations, or that overwhelming feeling that there's just too much to do and not enough time to do it.
You'll discover how to recognise the early warning signs of workplace anxiety before it spirals out of control, learn breathing and grounding techniques that work even in open office environments, and develop coping strategies that fit into your actual workday. We'll also cover how to communicate with your manager about workload concerns, set healthy boundaries without seeming uncooperative, and build confidence in high-pressure situations.
What You'll Learn:
How to identify your personal anxiety triggers and patterns in the workplace, so you can catch problems before they escalate. You'll understand the difference between normal work stress and anxiety that needs attention, and learn when to seek additional support.
Quick, discreet techniques for managing anxiety symptoms in the moment, including breathing exercises you can do at your desk, mental strategies for staying calm during presentations or difficult conversations, and ways to refocus when your mind starts racing.
Strategies for having productive conversations with your manager about workload, expectations, and support needs. You'll practice scripts for these conversations and learn how to frame requests in ways that focus on solutions rather than problems.
How to build long-term resilience through better time management, boundary setting, and self-care practices that actually fit into a busy work schedule. We'll focus on sustainable changes rather than complete lifestyle overhauls.
Techniques for managing anxiety around specific workplace situations like public speaking, performance reviews, conflict resolution, and career changes. You'll leave with a personalised action plan for your biggest anxiety triggers.
The Bottom Line:
This isn't about eliminating all stress from your work life, that's neither possible nor necessarily healthy. It's about developing the skills to manage anxiety so it doesn't manage you. You'll walk away with practical tools you can start using immediately, a better understanding of your own patterns and triggers, and the confidence to handle whatever workplace challenges come your way. Most importantly, you'll realise that struggling with workplace anxiety doesn't make you weak or unsuitable for your job – it makes you human, and there are definitely ways to work through it successfully.
