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: 

1. Changing how you’re thinking about yourself and how you think about your work
2. Bringing your focus back to what’s going well
3. Catching yourself when you’re downplaying your own work 
4. Try to transplant your confidence from previous successes! 
5. Try to be bold instead of confident: 
6. Ask questions
7. Celebrating successes and celebrating every milestone
8. 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
