The simple truth is that colleagues do need support, especially when implementing change.
According to Neuroscientist, Mark Waldman,:
If you let chronic worry about things, real or imagined, go unchecked, you will begin to decrease activity in your frontal lobes. “This is where creative thinking and problem solving takes place,”
Waldman relates “All forms of worry, fear and anxiety interfere with the problem solving process itself. “
So, unsettling or worrying situations at work will distract colleagues and potentially reduce their performance both individually and as a team.
There is a great deal that hypnotherapy, and the understanding behind it, can contribute to organisations and their staff. This has potentially wide-ranging benefits ensuring that we are operating in the best way to achieve the solutions that we need and in other ways such as by:
• reducing employee and team stress and anxiety levels;
• increasing performance and overcoming performance issues;
• raising awareness and understanding of the issues we face;
• empowering and developing teams and individuals; and
• supporting complex organisational change programmes.
This can be done on a one-to-one basis or in groups and can be aimed at all staff, from senior leasders to team members.
I have worked in all three sectors and have always wanted to better understand my working environments. To achieve this I have studied both the Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and its public sector equivalent, Masters in Public Administration (MPA) at the Open University Business School.
I have also read a Diploma in Digital Marketing and have been on numerous programme, project and business change courses including the Cabinet Office / Cranfield University Project Leadership Programme (or PLP), Prince2 and MSP.
All this, plus a lot of experience has given me a really good understanding of business needs and requirements and the pressures that this places on modern leaders, managers and teams.
I also know the impact of the impact of personal stress and anxiety in the workplace and its potentially severe impact on both individual and team wellbeing and performance.
