Catch up on Session 1: Supporting Colleagues Under Pressure: Practical Tools here.
As times of uncertainty and pressure continue, stress often shows up quietly in the workplace.
It might look like distraction, irritability, withdrawal, tension in conversations, or a drop in performance.
These reactions are rarely about commitment or capability. More often, they are signs that someone’s nervous system is under strain.
In Episode 1 from our Workplace Harmonics webinar series, supported by Viatris, we sit down with Dr Robert Chandler, clinical psychologist and Managing Director of The Lighthouse Arabia, to explore practical ways leaders and colleagues can support one another during challenging periods.
One line from the conversation particularly resonated:
“The difference between hope and despair is a good night's sleep.”
