Stress and Coaching

Anne Rose

You know the situation - you're feeling positive and go into a meeting with someone who is obviously stressed. This stress impacts not just one person, but everyone in the room. It disrupts the flow of the meeting and the eventual outcome. As you make your way to another meeting you carry some of that stress with you. It spills over to others in the organization.

What we do know is that stress is on the increase. An American Management Study found that 44% of people report losing one hour or more per day in productivity due to stress. Another 37% report losing 15-30 minutes per day in productivity due to stress. Look around the people you are working with. Those numbers indicate stress is affecting more than 80% of the workforce!*

Employees continue to be asked to do more with less. When members of the organization leave, they are often not replaced immediately, and in some cases not at all. This means an additional workload for the rest of the team.
