The Secret to Building Self-Belief at Work

​I had a client recently, who was struggling with imposter syndrome, can you relate?

My client felt like she wasn't good enough for this role and her confidence had taken a hit after some disappointing feedback from a Manager she really liked.

To be honest, her self-belief pillars were totally shaken.

​We worked through a short coaching program to rebuild her confidence by reconnecting her to the 8 underlying pillars of self-belief.

Step 1 - We explored her genius zone, the way in which she does her best work, accepting and understanding her strengths and weaknesses

The secret here is to list your strengths and weaknesses, and map it across to your work.

• Are you playing to your strengths?
• Are you building up your weaknesses?
• Where are there gaps where you could ask for help?

Step 2 - We outlined her values and she did a road map of her past career achievement, while redefining what her model of success looked like.

The secret here is to identify what qualities are most important to you.

• What do you value the most?
• Are you living and working within these values?
• Or is there a disconnect?

Step 3 - We explored her fears and found the root cause of it all was actually that she was frightfully scared of failure. We did a release technique in time line therapy to  bust through her fear and we met it with forgiveness and acceptance. 

The secret here is to follow the fear.

• Ask yourself - what am I afraid of?

• See the fear for what it is, and let it go! 

Next, I suggested she use 5 x positive affirmations to help build confidence at work. A free tool anyone can use and start today.

After just one session of getting really clear on who she was and what she wanted she saw her confidence start to return and her work anxiety lessen.

That is the power of the mind!
