Mental health for entrepreneurs and businesses

More and more professionals and managers suffer from stress, burnout and anxiety disorders, especially in connection with their workplace. This has a major impact on health, quality of life, family life, but of course also on performance. Employers incur tremendous amounts of money for long-term work absences. A position that is not filled for a long time also means more work and more stress for colleagues.


We live in times marked by uncertainty and are bombarded daily with negative news, plus enormous pressure to perform. The pandemic continues to have an impact on the mental health of populations worldwide.


The WHO (World Health Organization) states in a September 2022 report that an estimated 12 billion workdays are lost annually due to depression and anxiety, costing the global economy nearly $1 trillion.


The Corona pandemic has led to a sharp rise in some mental illnesses. According to a WHO mental health report, cases of depression and anxiety disorders increased by 25 percent worldwide in the first year of the pandemic alone. According to the report, nearly one billion people are living with a mental illness.


The WHO defines a mental illness as a significant disturbance in a person's cognition, emotion regulation or behavior, usually associated with distress or impairment in important areas of functioning.


Mental health risks such as high workloads, negative behaviors, and other factors that cause stress in the workplace must be addressed.


For the first time, WHO is recommending training for managers to strengthen their ability to avoid stressful work environments and respond to workers in distress.


I offer a range of training (online and in-person) and workshops on mental health, well-being, and personal development, particularly as it relates to the workplace. Below is a list of topics.
