Executive Coaching to Manage Stress - Four Paths to Less Business Stress

Less Business Stress

Are you working in an organization where leaders demonstrate good stress management skills? Do the leaders in your organization help others to become more stress resilient? Does your company or law firm offer wellness or stress management programs for employees?

One of the most powerful questions one can ask is “How am I doing managing my stress?” Stress hardy leaders have high levels of energy and help others become stress resilient.

Are you a leader who models a calm and reassuring leadership style?  Are you able to create a high performance workplace by creating a workplace where employees are healthy and fully engaged? Does your organization have a healthy work-life balance?

Four Paths to Less Business Stress

We typically spend one-third to one-half of our adult lives at work. But work is a common source of unhappiness and stress. Studies have concluded that the number of burned-out, stressed-out or chronically stressed individuals is between one-fourth and one-third of the work force.

If companies are to survive the challenges of uncertainty, leaders and workers must be fully present and engaged at work, in a state of health and well-being.

A study by the Conference Board reveals only half of Americans today say they are satisfied with their jobs, down 10 percent from 1995. Among those who say they’re content, only 14 percent say they are very satisfied.

Problems at work are more strongly associated with health complaints than any other factor in people’s lives, even financial or family troubles. While they may fail to realize the health implications, people at work are acutely aware of stress. A Northwestern National Life survey shows 40 percent of workers report their jobs are very or extremely stressful, and 25 percent of employees view their jobs as the top stressor in their lives.

More than 50 percent of employees feel overwhelmed by their workloads, and 62 percent perceive their workloads to have increased in the last six months.

Working with a seasoned executive coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating leadership assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i and CPI 260 can help you become an inspiring leader who displays the qualities of calm leadership and stress resiliency. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become happily engaged with the strategy and vision of your company or law firm.
