Feeling the pressure of leadership more than usual?
Tight timelines, competing priorities, and constant decision-making can take a toll. Many leaders are operating in a state of sustained stress, impacting focus, communication, and overall effectiveness.
What’s often overlooked is how stress shapes leadership in real time. The way leaders respond under pressure influences not only outcomes, but team morale, trust, and performance.
On May 19th at 7pm to 8:30pm The Sunshine Coast Chamber of Commerce and Westie Coast Counselling is co-hosting a workshop that allows managers, HR professionals, leadership coaches, and business owners to explore a different lens on leadership.
