How to increase self confidence


  • Anxiety before big presentation
  • Sweaty palms before meeting stakeholders
  • Stammering in front of client even though you know the solutions
  • Feeling afraid about new responsibilities at work 
  • Feeling like running away from work now that a boss who used to protect you has quit


The above are common things which happen in the workplace,especially for employees who have less than 10 years of work experience.They feel non-confident in their abilities or suffer from self doubt.

The following are powerful methods to feel more confident at work:

a)Know you're enough:
During childhood and earlier in life there are experiences one has which make one feel one is not good enough/is shamed into believing one is not good enough.Know that you in yourself are enough.This helps silence the inner critic.

b)Practice self compassion
When you're learning new skills or at a new job, realize that becoming fully proficient at it will take some time .Be kind to yourself and practice self compassion in the process

c)Have a good mentor
Having a person who knows you well -your strengths and limitations and wants to bring out the best in you mentor you helps increase self confidence.

d)Do what you're afraid of 
If it is speaking, or making a presentation or facing clients alone,go ahead and do it without fear of failure.As you keep doing it, your self confidence will increase.
