Managing Workplace Anxiety - Perth
Managing Workplace Anxiety Perth
Time line by Dr. Marcus Clarkson
**Overview**
I've been working with Australian professionals for the past 15 years and one thing I have observed is that workplace anxiety is as common as morning coffee in Perth offices. Only a month ago, I talked with Rebecca from Fremantle, a talented accountant with lots of aspirations, and she shared with me that she was considering leaving her dream job because Sunday nights had begun to be intolerable. Sound familiar?
This holistic class treats the subject with the respect that anxiety in the workplace is not a character flaw, it's a challenge that millions of talented professionals confront on a daily basis. Through my work in Perth's business district with everyone from mining Companies to tech start ups, I've developed strategies that work in real Australian workplaces.
The programme fuses evidence based strategies for managing stress with around the clock application, so everyone leaves with tools to tap into straight away, whether they be delivering important presentations in the heart of Northbridge, or working in a co working space in Subiaco.
