Businesses desire high
performing employees and that means you need to be more
confident at work, to get the promotion, get your bonuses, even get a job if
you are searching for a new one.
Confidence is about self
esteem and the higher your esteem level, the more likely you will succeed in
both your professional and personal life. If you do not feel confident that
means you are not. If you want greater success at work, it is up to you to
learn. Employers are spending less money on training, leaving that to you.
However, if they can see you are responsible for your own destiny and
education, they are more willing to employ or promote you. Embrace these tips.
- Be willing to change your ideas and update
views on life.
- Learn how to communicate assertively….not
passively (saying nothing or like a mouse or aggressively by shouting or
thumbing the desk)
- Understand that everyone at work has a
job…and if you are delegated to do some tasks from your manager and you do
not like it….remember that is why you are employed and if you want to be a
manager….get some training.
- Listen to other ideas and learn to discuss,
negotiate, compromise and change.
- Accept compliments when you have done
something well.
- Also - accept it if you have done something
wrong and learn from the experience.
- Do not be a gossiper, do not ‘rub it in’
about any previous decisions or laugh at others.
- Be a generous giver (but not at always at
your own expense).
- Learn to become a team player…and play your
part.
- Volunteer to learn and grow at work.
You have free will to make
choices in your life. Some of them will lead you towards you achieving your
potential in your professional life and some of the challenges may seem too
formidable and you give up. However, doing that means at some other time in
your life you will experience the same hiccup.
Your life is your ‘big
school’ so if you want the best for yourself, you need to move out of your
comfort zone and learn to embrace change. Everything that happens to you is an
opportunity to learn. Go for it and learn to Become Your Best!
