- 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.
