Do you ever find yourself asking the following questions: “Why am I getting passed up for promotions?” “How come no one ever notices my efforts and listens to my ideas?” “Am I not smart enough to

accomplish what I want?” While those questions are normal to ask, there’s no benefit in it. You’re simply asking the wrong question! The question you SHOULD be asking yourself is this…

“What do I need to know, so that I can feel confident in being promoted, getting noticed by upper management, or accomplishing more in my life?”

Successful people

have 1 major thing in common…CONFIDENCE!!! Move your confidence up, and you’ll

move up in your career as well. The key to your success is believing in yourself because you’ll never outperform your own self-image. If you believe you can accomplish more…you will. It’s that simple.

Are you letting your low self-esteem stop you from reaching your success?

3 Ways to Boost Your Self Esteem as a Leader:

1. Write down 5 of your best attributes. If you don’t know what your best characteristics are, ask one of your family members or friends. You will most likely find that they will give 5 similar traits! Once you’ve discovered what they are, write them down and post them in areas where you’ll see them daily. This is your reminder every day that you are special and worthy of your purpose; which in return, gets you moving into action. When you know who you are and what you have to offer, it boosts your esteem up every time.

2. Replace negative thoughts with positive self-talk. We are our own worst enemies and have no problem finding the worst in ourselves. So for every negative thought you have, list 3 positive thoughts. Stop being your own worst enemy and start being your best friend.

3. Develop your skill-set confidence. You can do this by developing the skills that you need in order to reach your goals; or continue to develop the skills you already have, so that you feel more confident in your ability to achieve success. Building Your Skills = Building Your Confidence = Building Your Success.

BONUS: Start a Success Journal. There are many things you’ve accomplished up to this point in life, and that is what you want to focus on. Keep a journal of all your successes, so when doubt sets in, you can revert back to that journal and boost yourself up. It’s also a great way to remember successes that you want to share with your managers during performance reviews!
