You may have noticed that there is always that one person at work that just screams confidence. Everything that they do – from giving presentations to writing the perfect memo – leaves a lasting impression. Have you ever wondered how they have so much confidence? Is it because of their continued successes at work? While their work performance may attribute to their can-do attitude and self-confidence in the workplace, it isn’t the driving force.
The truth is that they were confident from the beginning, and it led them to being successful at work. We have compiled some tips for you to help boost your confidence and be just as successful, if not more, at work.
Reality check
Make sure you take the time to do a self-assessment and really examine your skillset. If you are honest about where you are in your career, and you can recognize your strengths and weaknesses, you will be able to grow your confidence. If you have a clear understanding of your strengths – and your challenges – you will be able to accept or shake off criticism or feedback with ease and that will make you appear more confident.
