The Hidden Costs of High-Functioning Anxiety in the Workplace

Speaker: Toni Horn

Description

They seem calm, capable, and in control—but beneath the surface, they’re burning out.

The Hidden Costs of High-Functioning Anxiety in the Workplace explores the often-misunderstood reality of high-functioning anxiety: the employees who appear to be thriving while silently struggling. Driven by perfectionism, fear of failure, and constant pressure to keep up, these individuals can become some of the most productive—and most at risk—members of your team.

Through lived experience and expert insight, this session unpacks the hidden emotional toll, the signs leaders often miss, and the long-term impact on wellbeing, engagement, and retention.

Attendees will gain practical tools to spot the red flags, start supportive conversations, and create a work culture where mental health isn’t just acknowledged—it’s protected.
