MANAGING WORKPLACE ANXIETY

Course overview

Imagine that you've been asked to give a presentation to your organization's board. Although the meeting is a week away, you're already filled with a profound feeling of dread. All you can think about is how you'll make a mistake and ruin your career. Because of your anxiety, you're having trouble sleeping, you feel nauseous, and you think you had a mild panic attack a couple of days ago. You're not sure how you're going to get through your presentation without crumbling. The World Health Organization estimates that 15 percent of the world's population will suffer from an anxiety disorder at some point in their lifetime. If you suffer from occasional or severe anxiety, you'll know how hard it can be to work productively with this condition. In this course, we'll look at what anxiety is and we'll explore how you can cope with it.
