Managing Workplace Anxiety - Canberra

Managing Workplace Anxiety - Canberra

You know that knot in your stomach when your inbox is overflowing, deadlines are looming, and your manager just scheduled another "urgent" meeting? That overwhelming feeling when you're trying to juggle seventeen priorities while pretending you've got everything under control? Yeah, we've all been there. The truth is, workplace anxiety isn't just "part of the job" anymore - it's become a genuine workplace epidemic that's affecting everyone from new grads to seasoned executives.

I've been training professionals for over fifteen years, and I can tell you that the number of people struggling with workplace stress and anxiety has skyrocketed. Whether you're dealing with imposter syndrome, constant deadline pressure, difficult colleagues, or just the general chaos of modern work life, this isn't something you should have to white-knuckle your way through alone.

This course gives you real, practical tools that actually work in the heat of the moment. We're not talking about fluffy mindfulness theories here - this is about concrete strategies you can use when your heart rate spikes during a presentation, when you're dealing with a passive-aggressive team member, or when you're lying awake at 2am thinking about tomorrow's workload. You'll learn how to recognize your personal anxiety triggers before they spiral, master quick stress-busting techniques that work even in open-plan offices, and develop the confidence to set boundaries without feeling guilty about it.

We'll tackle the stuff nobody talks about in other training sessions - like how to handle that colleague who always dumps their problems on you, what to do when your perfectionism is actually making things worse, and how to have those dreaded difficult conversations without your voice shaking. Plus, you'll get strategies for managing up when your boss is part of the problem, and how to create a personal stress management system that fits your actual job, not some idealized version of work that doesn't exist.

What You'll Learn:

How to spot your early warning signs before anxiety takes over and derails your day
Quick, discreet techniques to calm your nervous system that work in meetings, at your desk, or anywhere

You'll know how to protect your mental health while still being a high performer, and you'll feel confident handling workplace challenges that used to send your stress levels through the roof. Most importantly, you'll stop feeling like you're barely keeping your head above water and start feeling like you're actually in control of your work life again.
