How to increase organisational profitability through changing your staff's relationship with anxiety

If you do what you've always done, you get what you've always got. An Einstein quote that dates back 100 years but is still relevant when we apply it to how we address anxiety and mental health today. Most speakers are still talking about coping techniques, putting sticky plasters over fear. But the plasters don't address the root cause, and the economy continues to lose billions every year to stress and anxiety. Nothing's changing. Coping techniques miss the point. Anxiety isn't going away, and a sticky plaster will ever only be a temporary solution. My approach changes the relationship with anxiety. Anxiety is a good thing. We need it. It's part of our basic survival instinct, the fight-or-flight response. Don't try and cover it up, but learn how to use it, how to lead this powerful emotion. The techniques I share are easy to implement. They help people to step outside of their comfort zone, to do things they couldn't do before, to grow. Bring them into an organisation and they can lead to increased creativity, productivity, profitability. And when they become part of an organisational culture, they can deliver a truly sustainable competitive advantage.
