Bold Move:
How to Transform Anxiety into Power in the Workplace, with Dr. Luana Marques

October 27, 11 AM - 12:00 PM, CDT

Join Beacon for our first Beacon Lecture with leading Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Dr. Luana Marques, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, Past President of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, and best-selling author of the critically acclaimed book, Bold Move: A 3-Step Plan to Transform Anxiety into Power.

An overwhelming 83% of US workers experience work-related stress, impacting businesses through missed workdays and healthcare costs (American Institute of Stress, 2022). This bears notable significance for Administrative Professionals, a demographic often situated in a distinct role that contributes to the exacerbation of anxiety. Dr. Luana challenges the idea that eliminating stress improves performance. Instead, she identifies something else, this one sneaky habit as the true obstacle. 

Based on Harvard research, Dr. Luana offers actionable strategies to overcome anxiety to improve productivity, workplace happiness and drive success. Her lecture simplifies complex concepts, enabling you to apply science-backed tools for immediate change. Dr. Luana's influential work is featured in esteemed platforms including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, BIG THINK, Forbes, The New York Times, Good Morning America, and Face the Nation. She frequently appears on top podcasts such as 10% Happier and The Mel Robbins Podcast.

During this Lecture you will learn:

• The one sneaky habit that is the true obstacle to overcoming your anxiety
• How to gain a clear understanding of why anxiety is impacting your productivity.
•  The evidence-based strategies to overcome what's causing anxiety and how to turn it into power.
• Develop a personalized action plan to manage stress, conquer avoidance, and enhance your performance.

Dr. Luana’s personal story of overcoming adversity, trauma, and poverty while growing up in Brazil provides authenticity and depth to her message.
