Don't mess this up ! Performance anxiety at school, work and in life

À propos de cette conférence

This conference will review why we feel anxiety generally and why it is particularly acute when something important is on the line. This can happen at all ages. Children might freak out when they have to read in class, or face a pitcher for the first time. As we age, we may worry about final exams in school. As adults, we may be spared from exams but we will certainly have to face colleagues, give speeches at our children's weddings, and of course just be good parents, friends, and employees. This conference will help us understand how performance anxiety can help us improve our results and when it starts to backfire, and will focus on ways to help us keep this anxiety in proper balance.
