Did you know that burnout and stress are highly associated with feelings of incompetence?
Are your managers telling you that they need more?
Maybe you feel that they need to take a holiday - but they refuse because they're too concerned about how much their workload will grow in their absence. Have you noticed that their stress levels are beginning to rub off on others, and perhaps clients are noticing it too?
Is the stress taking a toll on their:
A recent study showed that workplace stress in Australia costs Australian businesses more than $14 billion a year (study by Medibank Private and Australian Productivity Commission).

Ironically, some managers who are experiencing burnout and are close to collapse actually believe that their stress is necessary to get the job done!
This is Not True!
Stress is a helpful part of performance - to an extent. Stress can assist in achieving peak performance, however, when the stress continues to increase performance begins to dramatically decrease.
Traditional stress-management strategies tend to work at the behavioural level and do not create a lasting shift in stress levels. Techniques such as "Thought-Stopping", "Progressive Relaxation", "Guided Visualisation" and "Breathing Techniques" can all impact on stress at the time of use, but often require months or even years of constant use to create a lasting impact on the experience of stress.
What if there was a technique, a tool or a strategy that could help to create a shift in the underlying cause of stress - without impacting on policies, procedures or resources in the workplace? That's right - everything at work stays the same and the manager is able to deal with those circumstances and demands without the excessive experience of stress! What if I was to tell you that this can be achieved in far less time than it would take for traditional counselling or therapy to achieve?
