About the course

Stress is a common challenge for accounting professionals, where heavy workloads, tight deadlines, and high expectations can quickly become overwhelming. When the demands placed on you exceed the time, resources, or control you have, it can impact both your performance and your wellbeing.

This free course introduces a practical, demand-based approach to managing stress by focusing on what you can control. You’ll explore how different types of tasks contribute to stress, how to evaluate and rebalance your workload, and techniques for reducing unnecessary pressure. The course also covers how to set boundaries, manage expectations, say no when needed, and recognise when perfectionism is working against you rather than helping you.

You’ll come away with practical tools to better manage your workload and reduce day-to-day stress. It will help you take a more structured approach to demands on your time, enabling you to work more effectively and sustainably.

This free 1-hour course is part of a wider 4-hour course on stress management. You can purchase and complete the rest of the course here: Stress Management.
