Bold Move - How to Transform Anxiety into Power in the Workplace, with Dr. Luana Marques, 

An overwhelming 83% of US workers experience work-related stress, impacting businesses through missed workdays and healthcare costs (American Institute of Stress, 2022). This bears notable significance for Administrative Professionals, a demographic often situated in a distinct role that contributes to the exacerbation of anxiety. Dr. Luana challenges the idea that eliminating stress improves performance. Instead, she identifies something else, this one sneaky habit as the true obstacle. This is particularly pertinent for Administrative Professionals, who often find themselves in a unique position that adds to their anxiety.
