Manage Your Stress to Manage Your Business

Good business management means making good decisions and taking the right actions to ensure a positive bottom line. A bad decision or a series of bad decisions can have a significant impact on your business and may make the difference between growth or shutting the doors. Unmanaged stress can have a major impact on your ability to sleep, to concentrate, to communicate and to work through tough decisions. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and several other mental health issues. This workshop will help you recognize when stress is impacting your business decisions and how to support your mental wellness to reduce the chance of closing the doors to your business.
