Master Stress for a Balanced Life
Stress Management For High-Achievers and High-Stakes Professionals
In the fast-paced world, stress is often seen as part of the job. But for teachers, first responders, therapists, lawyers, project managers, and other high-achieving professionals, unmanaged stress can lead to burnout, decreased performance, and health issues. Even though stress is an inevitable part of our lives, it is very uncomfortable.
As a high-achieving professional, you face unique stressors:
Constant decision-making with significant consequences
High expectations from others and yourself
Emotional labor in dealing with others' traumas or challenges
Tight deadlines and heavy workloads
Balancing professional demands with personal life
BUT, what do the numbers say?
A whopping 76% of employees sometimes experience burnout, and 28% of them feel burnt out "very often" or "always" (Gallup, 2020). And CEOs aren’t immune either—60% report feeling lonely and isolated, with half saying it messes with their job performance (Harvard Business Review, 2017).
Our first responders, the real-life superheroes, aren’t spared either—30% develop conditions like depression and PTSD (SAMHSA, 2018). Executives? Yep, 71% say stress and anxiety hit their performance hard, with 50% admitting it affects the quality of their work (American Psychological Association, 2019).
If that wasn’t enough, workplace stress is costing U.S. employers around $300 billion a year. Yes, that’s billion with a “B,” thanks to absenteeism, reduced productivity, and turnover (American Institute of Stress). Chronic stress can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, with 77% of people regularly experiencing physical symptoms (American Psychological Association, 2019).
Professional athletes, you all are also feeling the pressure, with 35% reporting anxiety and depression symptoms at some point in their careers (British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2019).
And let’s talk about overworking—71% of workers do it at least one day a week, with 23% working long hours one day a week and 29% overworking two to three days a week (CFAH, 2024).
