Come Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Getting out of your comfort zone is an excellent way to help you gain confidence in yourself at work. You can volunteer for a project that will assist you in building new skills or adding onto your current skills set. We also have fears that kill our confidence and inhibit us from growing into our roles, which is why tackling them will do wonders for you. Whether your anxiety is public speaking or becoming a team leader, facing these fears will allow you to grow in confidence.  

Speak What Is On Your Mind

A lack of confidence often reflects in the way you speak to those around you and how you stand up for them and yourself. When you are confident, you can say what you really think with assertiveness and without seeming rude and belligerent. You do not have to jump in with whatever comes to mind and not have a filter, but you can build your confidence by stative your views in a meeting and see the reactions of everyone to what you stated. Their responses will teach you how to adjust what you are saying as needed. 

Brush Off Attacks

Getting attacked at work happens to almost everyone, and it is meant to break down the other party, resulting in a loss of confidence. Instead of taking the attack to heart, don’t let that happen, rather dismiss and overlook the resentment and anger behind the statement. You can look for how you can change and grow from the criticism and avoid wallowing in bitterness and rage. The attack could be as simple as not speaking up at meetings or missing deadlines. Accept the feedback and try to speak more at a meeting or submit your work before the deadline day arrives. 

Self-confidence is essential in any sphere of life where you are dealing with people who have different personalities. It is especially important to feel assured in the workplace, be able to stand your ground and not let colleagues walk all over you.
