The pressure to perform, to meet deadlines and to be seen as invincible is high. But how many of us are held back by anxiety? How many of us are afraid that others will find out about our anxiety because we fear we will be perceived as weak or unprofessional? And how many high performers are masking their anxieties in order to get by?
Businesses are realising that it’s time to create a climate where it’s OK to be anxious – even in a professional organisation. Because as soon as this happens, the potential for improved performance and improved working relationships is immense.
The course has been designed to assist with achieving an understanding of what anxiety is and how it might be handled whether as a sufferer, or as a manager or colleague of a sufferer. Its purpose is to help rove stigma whilst improving business performance.
