The basics
- The quality of your work/ how good you are at what you’re doing is not a pre-condition for confidence
- The key to feeling more confident at work are in my opinion 2 things:
- Changing how you’re thinking about yourself
- & how you’re THINKING about your work (and not how good your work is objectively)
8 strategies for more confidence at work:
- Changing how you’re thinking about yourself and how you think about your work
- Bringing your focus back to what’s going well
- Catching yourself when you’re downplaying your own work
- Try to transplant your confidence from previous successes!
- Try to be bold instead of confident:
- Ask questions
- Celebrating successes and celebrating every milestone
- Kill your inner perfectionist
Professional development
- Disclaimer on new skills: I don’t believe that you need to do any better or know more skills to become more confidence
- If the way we think about our work focuses on “being worried about not being good enough YET”, it’s not going to help.
- Start with building your confidence from WITHIN!!!
Professional development: How to become successful
- Step 1: The foundation
- You are enough, what you are doing is enough.
- If this is the foundation, now we can say: ok, I WANNA learn a new skill, I WANNA boost my career → coming from a place of love
- Step 2: Identifying your top 3 skills
- What are the top 3 skills you have to master in order to be really good at your job?
- SPOILER: These can also be things you’re already good at! Actually, the likelihood is pretty high as you got the job :D
- Strengthen your strengths
- Step 3: How can I nail this skill
- My number 1 tip: Designate a month to learn and dive into this skill.
- Instead of tackling everything at once, pick one month for one skill (start next week or on the first of the next month)
- Fully dive into it and actively look for ressources online: Make it fun, make it playful: Podcasts, Books, Articles, Ted-Talks
- Important: Only use the pieces you like the most. Come up with your own toolkit for this skill
