Your profile
More than 1 answer: The ball of nerves
At work, you have entered the infernal spiral of stress… You panic over details that make you waste a lot of time, you accumulate delays, you are more and more stressed and less and less effective. Extremely perfectionist, too scattered or very emotional, your stress comes from a lack of efficiency or perspective on events.
Our advice
Caught in stress, you lack the method to cope with situations. Put simple things in place: list what stresses you (tasks, people). Then, prioritize your actions to regain control over these elements. Accept that time is your ally, you need it to regain your lost serenity.
And try to put things in perspective: no life depends on your work!
More than 2 answers: The zen attitude
You handle situations with the distance of people who are not concerned. Your bosses and colleagues cannot communicate their stress to you and your detachment might even tend to annoy those who work with you. But as long as it doesn’t harm your reputation as a nice person, you are satisfied!
Our advice
Be careful not to abuse your reputation as a “good colleague” to the detriment of your work. Know how to keep and cultivate your positive attitude but always keep a watchful eye on your work. Don’t hesitate to share your sense of humor by using it during breaks.
More than 3 answers: The methodical
You possess a major asset in the workplace: you are organized! Unforeseen events and delays do not scare you because you know how to deal with these kinds of problems. Your colleagues admire your composure, your method and your ability to stay focused. Instead of creating panic, stressful situations stimulate you and make you move forward.
Our advice
Take advantage of your recognized skills to give advice to others. Don’t hesitate to take the “lead” on projects when you feel the opportunity. Be careful, however, not to take on more work than you can handle. By wanting to do too much… Your colleagues envy you but might sometimes reproach you for your lack of humor… know how to put your work aside during breaks, they won’t disapprove of you for that! On the contrary…
