NatWest women in business. Channel your mind-set to boost your business

I will be the guest speaker at this is open, free network meeting for Women in Business hosted by NatWest's Business Growth Enabler, Stewart Smith.

Come along and meet business minded people from the local community and make some new connections.

I will be presenting thought provoking information on how your mind-set as you begin, or grow your business impacts every end result.

As one example, when you are stressed, you are often in your mind. 67% of business leaders are struggling with stress and managing their emotions in the workplace (2016) and stress accounted for 37% of all work related ill health cases and 45% of all working days lost due to ill health (2015/16). If you are stressed, how does this block the growth you want?

Business owners, as well as staff, often ignore the triggers and the signs with performance, security and profit being key drivers for businesses and individuals.

Equally important however is your reduction of stress and the development of consistent motivation, direction and morale through wellbeing initiatives; the government’s review of evidence on employee wellbeing and its potential impact on workplace performance suggests that key improvements in wellbeing will result in improved workplace performance, improvement in financial performance and profitability, enhanced labour productivity and better quality of outputs or services.

If the stress is in your mind, the good news is that you can challenge it and overcome with tools.
