Services :: Workplace Counseling
Since many Silicon Valley residents spend the majority of
their time in the workplace, workplace issues are common.
Ann enjoys working with employees at all levels to manage
stress, develop workplace relationships that work for them
and balance career demands with an enjoyable personal life.
Helping clients understand formal and informal structures in the workplace, overcome aversion to office politics and learn how to cope effectively with these realities is just one way the clients and she work together to reduce stress.
Another way is to identify what it is about Jane and Bob that "pushes their buttons" and causes an internal reaction that is sometimes hard to hide, even when Bob or Jane is the boss. Being able to respond differently and not get hooked into games at work can make getting up in the morning much easier.
As clients become skilled at what is within their control and what is not AND implement effective strategies to influence desired outcomes, they find it easier to leave work at the office. Sometimes, they are even able to chuckle internally about the very behaviors from a co-worker that formerly had them cringing or boiling mad.
