Overview

Overthinking can get to all of us, whether you lay awake at night thinking of a conversation you had, typo in an email you missed or a comment from senior staff that’s stuck in your head.

If that sounds like you, our Overcoming Overthinking Training course can help.

By overthinking and over analysing a situation you risk stagnation and a severe drop in productivity. Focusing intensely on a subject or issue can impact your ability to make decisions and thus, resulting in making situations more complicated which intensifies the issue.

Join esteemed Author and memory expert, Mark Channon, to learn how to better absorb relevant information and filter out not so important facts. Develop strategies and gain practical tools to avoid wasting precious time and energy on a single issue.

Leave the day with a practical toolkit to help overcome decision-making paralysis.
