The Managing Performance Anxiety at Work Training Course is a specialised corporate wellness training course designed to help professionals understand, manage, and overcome anxiety related to workplace performance. In modern organisations, employees are frequently required to present ideas, meet strict deadlines, lead discussions, and perform under observation, all of which can trigger performance anxiety. This course provides participants with practical psychological insights, evidence-based coping strategies, and behavioural techniques that enable them to transform anxiety into productive energy. Delivered by Imperial Corporate Training Institute, this programme focuses on building emotional resilience, confidence, and sustainable performance habits that support both individual wellbeing and organisational productivity.
Through an integrated learning journey, participants explore the cognitive, emotional, and behavioural dimensions of performance anxiety in professional environments. The course combines interactive discussions, guided self-reflection, role-play scenarios, and skill-building exercises to ensure real-world application. Participants will learn how to recognise anxiety triggers, regulate stress responses, strengthen self-belief, and communicate confidently in high-pressure situations. By the end of the training, learners will possess a toolkit of techniques to manage anxiety during presentations, meetings, evaluations, leadership interactions, and critical decision-making moments, allowing them to perform with clarity, composure, and confidence.
