Managing Workplace Anxiety - Brisbane

Managing Workplace Anxiety - Brisbane

Let's be honest - if you've ever felt your heart racing before a big presentation, lost sleep over a difficult conversation with your boss, or felt overwhelmed by your workload, you're not alone. Workplace anxiety affects millions of people, and it's not just about being "stressed out." It's that pit-in-your-stomach feeling when you check your emails, the way your mind races through worst-case scenarios, or how you second-guess every decision you make.

I've worked with countless professionals who thought they just needed to "toughen up" or "deal with it better." The truth is, anxiety in the workplace is real, it's common, and most importantly - it's manageable. You don't have to suffer in silence or let it derail your career.

This training isn't about meditation retreats or telling you to just breathe deeply (though breathing techniques do help). It's about practical, real-world strategies you can use when your colleague undermines you in a meeting, when you're facing a restructure, or when you're dealing with that boss who never seems satisfied with anything.

We'll tackle the stuff nobody talks about in those glossy workplace wellness posters. Like how to handle the Sunday night dread, what to do when your anxiety makes you procrastinate (which then makes you more anxious), and how to speak up for yourself without feeling like you're going to throw up. You'll learn how to recognize your personal anxiety triggers before they spiral out of control and develop a toolkit of strategies that actually work in real workplace situations.

What You'll Learn:
- How to identify your specific anxiety triggers and patterns before they derail your day
- Practical techniques for managing anxiety in high-pressure situations like meetings, presentations, and difficult conversations
- Communication strategies that help you express your needs without feeling vulnerable
- How to set boundaries that protect your mental health without damaging your career
- Ways to reframe negative thought patterns that keep you stuck in anxiety loops
- Techniques for managing the physical symptoms of anxiety during work hours
- How to have conversations with managers about workload and expectations
- Building resilience for dealing with workplace change and uncertainty
- Creating a personal action plan for ongoing professional development and anxiety management

The Bottom Line:
You don't have to let anxiety control your work life or limit your potential. This isn't about becoming a different person - it's about giving yourself the tools to thrive in challenging situations. You'll leave with concrete strategies you can implement immediately, plus the confidence to handle whatever workplace curveballs come your way. Because let's face it, work is stressful enough without your own mind working against you.
