Bespoke Training: Overcoming Overthinking Training

Avoiding Analysis Paralysis

Overview

Overthinking can get to all of us, whether you lay awake at night thinking of a conversation you had that didn’t go to plan, a typo in an email you missed or a comment from a senior member of staff or colleague that’s stuck in your head.

If that sounds like you, our bespoke In-House 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.

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