Anxiety and stress are unavoidable in the workplace, as we cross paths with some many different behaviours.

What we can do is manage our anxiety with some useful techniques, such as, :

Peter Holtmann will show you how to:

• Deal with uncertainty by knowing how to manage the event and not the emotion of it;
• Balance your workload to allow sufficient time in a day to regain energy and build stamina;
• Manage perfectionism—the biggest enemy of workplace productivity, it’s not realistic to be 100 percent, 100% of the time;

For leaders it’s important to practice and demonstrate empathy in the workplace; which is different to sympathy and can be practiced. Listen to Peter Holtmann as he discusses the following:

• Ensuring staff feel valued and accepted through the use of challenge, support and recognition;
• Promote confidence by leading with gratitude;
• Build connection between team members and other teams;
• Ensuring that everyone understands that its ok to not be “OK” at times and to seek out support; and
• To ensure the workplace detracts from value-less opinions and deals with facts.

Given so many workplaces are work in hybrid conditions the ability to keep workers focussed, positive and constructive requires these human-centred skills.
