DeleteThe topic of this blog is very empowering and highlighting the obvious stressors at work - however how do we reduce anxiety and depression when they are emotions an employer has no control of? Maybe a transformational coach can help see it differrently?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful comment! You're absolutely right that anxiety and depression are personal emotions, and while employers may not have direct control over them, they can create a supportive work environment that helps reduce stress and promotes well-being. A transformational coach could indeed offer valuable perspectives, helping individuals reframe their thinking and develop strategies for managing those emotions more effectively. While it’s important for employees to take personal responsibility for their mental health, having access to coaching or other resources can certainly make a big difference in how they cope with work-related stress.
