Work-related anxiety afflicts countless workers across Adelaide and beyond, running the gamut from pre-meeting nerves to deadline-induced panic attacks.

Instead, we concentrate on developing your own personal repertoire of tried and tested tools that help you control anxiety well, therefore you can give optimum performance, even if under pressure of competition.
Based on scientific based concepts and applied in real world situations with practical steps, this course fill the gap between ideas and the workplace. You'll come to realize that coping with anxiety isn't a matter of pretending not to be who you are – but, rather, using your natural responses in a manner that's smart, and that brings you better results in your work and your life.

Summary
This course will give you the power to turn your relationship with workplace anxiety from something that dominates you to something you handle in stride. We don’t train you to suppress natural reactions; we teach you to manage your mind and body so you can be thriving professionally.
You’ll come away with a customised toolkit of tools to work with your particular work environment, and patterns of anxiety. These tactics are subtle, professional, and direct - no long winded explanations, no bullshit theories, and none of those whack ass routines that aficionados practice for months to maybe meet some hooch at the local club.
Most importantly, though, you’ll realize that having anxiety doesn’t make you weak or unprofessional. It makes you human. The ones who thrive in their careers and not-for-profit gigs are those humans who have learned how to manage their mental health in such a way that it keeps them strong and energized.
This isn’t just about better feeling at work — it’s about unlocking all your potential at work by breaking free from the restrictions that your anxiety is creating. You owe it to yourself to show up as your best self every day, and this course can help get you there.
