Confidence

A true sense of confidence not only helps us forward our careers, but it also has a positive effect on others.  But confidence doesn't come by chance, it comes by being aware of who we are and what we do best. Consider the following to strengthen your self-perception and the impact you have on the co-workers around you:

•At the end of each day, review what you have accomplished.  Write down at least 3 things to help you recognize your efforts.
•Keep a journal of all the things you do that help others.  You will be amazed how much this little tip can build your sense of self-worth.
•Align your actions to your values.  One of the biggest confidence-stealers is when we do things that go against our truths.

The most confident people are those who look inward for recognition, not outward.  So do a little self-reflecting this week and enjoy the boost it will bring to your energy.
