Low Self Esteem and Your Career
Posted by Janine on October 23rd, 2009 | Comments Off
Matthew Hick
Have you ever noticed that the people who have successful careers also have a healthy (or even overblown) sense of themselves and their abilities? The ability to see the great things you bring to your job and being strong enough to stand up for what you believe are essential to on-the-job success.
Those who exhibit extremely meek and mild personalities naturally fall into the background. While they may in reality be more qualified and capable of doing the job, they aren’t the ones who command the respect and authority necessary for those big promotions. Strong personalities exude strength and power and tend to be the ones chosen to lead in the workforce.
So, if you are struggling to move to the next level at work, you may want to take a good hard look at your level of self esteem and whether or not it may be harming your chances of advancement by not allowing your co-workers and superiors to see the wonderful asset you are to the company.
Watch for these career busters:
Lack of Confidence.
A lack of confidence in yourself can carry over in the way others view your ability to take over a project and make sure it is completed on time, on budget and with the creativity and attention it deserves. Until you can show a sincere belief in yourself, how can you expect others to believe in you?
Lack of Control.
People who don’t have confidence in themselves often lack the control to get others to do what they need to. Those in superior positions at work have to have the power to be able to get people moving in order to get the job done.
An Inability to Take Responsibility.
Those with little self esteem often find it difficult to accept even minimal criticism or suggestions and may exhibit an inability to accept responsibility for things that have gone wrong (often placing blame on others around them), and the willingness or aptitude to tackle problems that may arise.
An Inability To Try New Things.
Being a supervisor of people and projects requires a certain sense of adventure. Those who are stuck doing everything the same old way years after year out of fear of rejection often find sales sluggish and clients unhappy.
Job-Hopping.
One way to ensure that you won’t move up in a company is to leave before you even have a chance at a promotion. People with low self-esteem are restless and often view their current job as a stepping stone to the next one, but never really stay long enough to make a real impression.
A Lack of Intimacy.
While office romances should be discouraged, you do need to be able to connect with the people you work with on a personal note to be able to move forward. Good supervisors get to know the people below them and take the time to understand what personal issues may be affecting their job performance. People with low self-esteem are uncomfortable forming close relationships either on a personal or professional level that can hurt their chances of promotion in the future.
A Lack of Energy.
People on the fast track for success are often bullets of energy who can handle multiple jobs and responsibilities with little effort. Low esteem often saps your energy levels and makes it difficult to handle any problems that may arise on the job.

Essential Self Confidence Building Points
Posted by Janine on September 13th, 2009 | Comments Off
Tomas Labas
At some point in our lives, we experience lack of self confidence due to various reasons and causes. Maybe, we are not good in the class. Maybe, we are not the sporty type trapped in group of athletes. Or maybe, we consider ourselves incapable of achieving something that others might find pretty easy. These reasons build up that we end in the situation where we have no self confidence in either hand. Aside from this reason, low self confidence can also be rooted from race, gender, or physical appearance.
If you lack self-confidence, you might also have low self-esteem. And the root of these two is your outlook on yourself. Surely, if you see yourself as ugly, incapable, and different from others, your self-confidence and self-esteem are low. Most people who lack self-confidence tend to believe every negative comment others say about them. And they would not even bother to differentiate which are constructive and which are destructive. So make sure that the moment somebody gives you criticism, never just accept every word they say.
The point is, either we root our lack of self confidence from the past experiences or internal conflict, we need to take some actions. And so, here are the essential points on how you build your self confidence.
Take responsibility. It does not have to be taking over a group and become a leader. Taking small responsibility such as assuming chores will provide a good start on building self confidence. Once you have assumed and successfully executed small responsibilities, then you can take bigger ones. The idea is, start small and work your way from there.
Set goals. On every encounter you do, draw up your goal. Start small and focus on achieving this goal. Soon, you will find yourself setting more difficult goals. This will provide you self confidence.
Be positive. You will notice that when you think often of the negative things or the negative effects on each thing or task you do, you end up disregarding the positive side. And this would further give you low self confidence. What you should do is to think of the positive side. This might be an easy thing to do but it may be very hard if you get used to thinking negative things. FORCE yourself to think of the good side rather than the bad.
Start your day by facing the mirror and praising yourself. You might think this is embarrassing, but this technique is very effective. If you start your day happy, your task will fairly lighten. Why? Because you will have a positive outlook on the whole day. Seeing yourself as a beautiful being will certainly make everything beautiful in the process. And soon, you will walk on the street happy and contented.
Stand in the middle of the crowd. This does not mean you have to be the center of attention. It only means that you have to make some contacts and get the conversation going. You don’t just sit on a party and feel sorry for yourself because no one talks to you. Approach people. self confidence is build up with communicating well.
Avoid unnecessarily stress. Your aim is to build your self confidence and you cannot do that if your trap yourself in the situation wherein tasks surround you. What you should do is to avoid these by taking each task efficiently and one at a time. This will get the things done at the same time remove the burden and the thought that you cannot finish everything in time.
Provide help to others. Your aim is to feel good about yourself that would result to self confidence. If you offer your time on helping others, you will certainly feel good about yourself.
Take care of yourself. Live healthy, eat healthy and get plenty of rest. This will make you feel good on the inside and look good on the outside.
