BUSY IN BUSINESS: on-demand

Turn your work
anxiety into fuel

Watch now ->
Australian growth-stage business owners face many challenges, navigating decisions amidst global and local market fluctuations. Balancing passion with sustainable business acumen is demanding, especially when time-critical decisions such as obtaining finance are essential for growth.

This is a session with a mission: to normalise business anxiety.

Anxiety is a natural part of business ownership. It can be harnessed into a force for good. Guest speaker Bronwyn Penhaligon, Strategic Psychotherapist, Penhaligon Applied Psychology and Guy Callaghan, CEO, Banjo Loans share stories, and research-based insights into mental health, with practical and achievable pathways.

You'll learn how to:
  • Identify your anxiety triggers so that you can recognise and avoid thought traps ​
  • Confront bad habits and unhealthy coping mechanisms​
  • Be in control and set boundaries on how you choose to expend your energy to prevent business burnout​
  • Nurture psychological safety, deal with feedback, criticism, and impostor syndrome​
  • Model and communicate healthy behaviour as a business leader
  • Recognise your progress and move forward with confidence. Be your own cheerleader!​
This session will help you turn your concerns into a source of strength for yourself, your business, and the people you need to help you lead.​
