Managing Workplace Anxiety Training

Managing Workplace Anxiety Training

You know that feeling when your heart starts racing before a big presentation, or when you're lying awake at night thinking about tomorrow's difficult conversation with your boss? You're not alone. Workplace anxiety is affecting more people than ever, and it's not just about being nervous - it's about feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself constantly, and sometimes even avoiding important tasks or meetings because the stress feels too much to handle.

I've been training professionals in Perth for over fifteen years, and I can tell you that anxiety in the workplace isn't a character flaw or something you just need to "get over." It's a real challenge that affects your performance, your relationships at work, and honestly, how you feel about going to work each day. The good news? There are practical, proven strategies that actually work.

This training isn't about telling you to "just relax" or do some deep breathing (though we'll cover useful techniques too). It's about understanding what triggers your anxiety, recognizing the early warning signs, and having a toolkit of strategies you can use right there in the moment when things get overwhelming. We'll look at real scenarios like handling aggressive customers, managing competing deadlines, dealing with difficult colleagues, and yes, even surviving those presentations that make your palms sweat.

You'll learn how to separate what you can control from what you can't (this one's a game-changer), how to reframe those negative thoughts that spiral out of control, and practical ways to manage stress before it manages you. We'll also cover how to communicate your needs without feeling like you're making excuses, and how to create boundaries that actually protect your wellbeing.
