SUMMARY:Skills Series #12 – Leading Well Under Pressure: Workplace Wellbeing Skills for Modern Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Leading Well Under Pressure: Workplace Wellbeing Skills for Modern Businesses \nMost people don’t wake up planning to burn out. \nIt happens quietly. Longer days. Blurred boundaries. Always “just one more thing.”\nManagers firefighting issues they were never trained to handle.\nSole traders carrying everything alone.\nHybrid working meant to create flexibility\, yet often leaving people feeling disconnected\, stretched\, and permanently “on”. \nAcross the UK\, work-related stress\, anxiety and depression now account for over 22 million working days lost every year. Burnout rarely announces itself\, it shows up as disengagement\, presenteeism\, poor decision-making\, rising absence\, or business owners quietly running on empty while holding everything together. \nAnd here’s the uncomfortable truth: this isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a skills gap. \nThis half-day session brings together three realities modern businesses are facing: \n\nHow we manage people and ourselves under constant pressure\nHow burnout develops long before crisis point\nWhy mental health skills for leaders are no longer optional\nWhether you lead a team or you’re a business of one.\n\nYou’ll leave with a clear\, practical blueprint you can begin using immediately. You’ll know what to notice early\, how to have confident and boundaried conversations\, where responsibility begins and ends\, and how to lead without sacrificing performance\, health\, or personal resilience. \nIf you’re feeling the pressure\, or can see it building in your business\, this session will give you the clarity\, tools and confidence to handle it better. \n
