It isn’t normal to feel bad at work all the time, and you’re allowed to say so.
The hardest part isn’t always what you’re going through: it’s the inner voice that always finds a good reason to stay silent. This module exposes it, one objection at a time, then prepares you to be heard, with ready-to-use opening lines matched to your stress level.

Anyone who wants to put into words what they are going through at work, and find someone who will listen.
Learning objectives

- Prepare to speak up: precise facts, evidence, a concrete request for help, proposed solutions, and the right moment.
- Choose one of three increasingly direct opening lines, and the right contact, from manager to occupational health service.
