RESULTS ARE IN:
Â
Your quiz score indicates that you currently have elements of both a high confidence cycle and a low confidence cycle at work.
Let's dig into your results and what to do about it...
Watch this short video to find out more about the high and low confidence cycles:
Low confidence cycles happen when someone adopts patterns, beliefs, and behaviours that cause them to set unrealistic standards for themselves, fail to acknowledge good work, manage themselves poorly.
That might look like focusing on the negatives rather than their positive achievements, struggling to tolerate failure, or being self-critical.
All of these are extremely common at work.
Based on your quiz results, you have a medium score, which indicates that you currently have elements of the high confidence cycle and elements of the low confidence cycle.
That means there are plenty of habits you can change in order to exit that low confidence cycle and start feeling more confident at work.
Here’s where you should focus your efforts in order to grow your confidence now:Â
- Manage yourself in a way that supports confidence. We all have an internal manager who oversees every piece of work, comes to every meeting and 'manages' us throughout our career. In order to grow your confidence, your internal manager needs to be supportive, encouraging and fair. Based on what we know so far, your internal manager sounds like they could use a bit of help!Â
- Learn how to consistently set realistic standards. Make sure you don't get stuck in the cycle of demanding perfection, then beating yourself up when you (like a normal human being) can’t achieve it! Check in now with how you treat yourself when things go wrong, you can still learn from your mistakes AND be fair. Beating yourself up for weeks will erode your confidence. How would your ideal boss treat you if something went wrong? Aim to manage yourself like that if you want to grow your confidence now.Â
- Acknowledge the positives and recognise your efforts. Most of us are able to recognise the positives in others, but rubbish at doing it for ourselves; but if you only focus on the negatives, you will see a very skewed picture. Imagine having a boss who only ever focused on the negatives and never acknowledged you for the things you do well? It would not help you feel confident! Aim to acknowledge yourself for one thing each day, it might feel strange at first, but I promise, being able to see things fairly and acknowledge yourself for the work you do, is key to moving into a high confidence cycle.
Switching from a low confidence cycle into a high confidence cycle is possible. I’ve helped hundreds of people do it and I would be honoured to help you too.Â
