Managing Workplace Anxiety Training

Managing Workplace Anxiety Training

Location: Perth

You know that feeling when your stomach drops before a big meeting? Or when your mind starts racing through worst-case scenarios while you're trying to focus on a deadline? You're not alone. Workplace anxiety affects nearly everyone at some point, but here's the thing - most of us just try to push through it instead of learning how to actually manage it.

I've been running workplace training for over fifteen years, and I can tell you that anxiety isn't something you just "get over." It's something you learn to work with. Whether you're dealing with presentation nerves, difficult conversations with colleagues, or that overwhelming feeling when everything seems urgent, this course gives you practical tools that actually work in real workplace situations.

We're not talking about meditation apps or breathing exercises (though they have their place). This is about understanding why your brain goes into overdrive when your boss sends that "can we chat?" email, and what you can do about it right there in the moment. You'll learn techniques that work whether you're in an open office, on a video call, or dealing with a challenging customer.

The reality is that a bit of anxiety can actually help you perform better - it's when it starts controlling your decisions or affecting your sleep that we need to step in. I've seen people transform from avoiding speaking up in meetings to confidently presenting their ideas, simply because they learned how to manage their nervous system instead of fighting against it.

What You'll Learn

How to recognize your personal anxiety triggers before they spiral out of control
Practical techniques to calm your nervous system that work in any workplace setting
Ways to reframe anxious thoughts so they become helpful rather than harmful
Strategies for stress management that you can use during busy periods
How to have difficult conversations without your anxiety taking over
Techniques to manage perfectionism and imposter syndrome
Methods to set boundaries that protect your mental energy
Quick reset strategies you can use between meetings or tasks

During the session, we'll practice these techniques with scenarios you'll actually face at work. No role-playing customer service situations when you work in accounting - we'll use examples that matter to your real job. You'll leave with a toolkit that fits in your back pocket, not a theoretical framework that sounds good but doesn't help when you're stressed.

The Bottom Line

This isn't about eliminating anxiety completely - that's not realistic or even desirable. It's about learning to work with your nervous system so anxiety becomes information rather than interference. You'll develop confidence in your ability to manage workplace anxiety in real-time, which means better decision-making, clearer communication, and probably sleeping better too. Most participants tell me they wish they'd learned these skills years earlier - but the second-best time to learn them is right now.
