Anxiety is normal. The way we hide it is not.

Although so much has been done (rightly) to promote diversity and wellness at work, there’s a giant hole in the understanding of how mental health plays into not just our daily grind, but the very trajectory of success.

We’re all in desperate need for better models of leadership - especially in a society that tell us mental health challenges like anxiety and depression are weaknesses. 

I wrote this book because anxiety is a constant in today’s workplace, and people need tools to manage it. If you do nothing to address it, anxiety can seriously hamper your – or your team’s – potential for high performance. However, The Anxious Achiever shows that anxiety is actually fundamental to leadership, and with the right tools, you can harness its power to turn stress into strength. Mentally healthy workforces drive ROI: Employers see a $4 return for every dollar invested in employee mental health support and treatment. 

The Anxious Achiever will help leaders and teams

• Understand and manage how anxiety shows up for them at work

• Lead and thrive through uncertainty 

• Use their leadership anxiety as an advantage

• Create guardrails that protect boundaries, time, and energy

• Create mentally healthy teams and culture
