Do you sometimes feel insecure at work?

Read five tips and exercises here on how to become (again) more self-confident.

It's not that difficult at all.

Are you sometimes anxious at work * and do you secretly want more

self-confidence

?

Then you should take this wisdom from US motivational speaker Dale Carnegie to heart: "

You gain

confidence

by doing exactly what you are afraid of, and thereby gaining a number of successful experiences."

This one sentence

already

offers

the solution

for many

problems

.

Because behind a lack of self-confidence is often the fear of making a mistake in the job - and that in turn is often related to the (sometimes lacking and sometimes maybe bad) experience.

Where are the gaps in knowledge that are causing you concern, who can you ask?

Get help as a team if you cannot get any further on your own.

Five tips: How to become more confident in your job

Career experts also

have a few tips and exercises ready to help you strengthen your self-confidence:

1. "Allow yourself to make mistakes"

is what it says on "Karrierbibel.de", for example.

After all, it is normal for mistakes to happen.

"If you look around your team, you will find that your colleagues also make mistakes."

2. "Feel good"

, is another tip related to self-confidence. Make sure that you get on well with your colleagues, that you can be authentic and that you do not have to pretend in the office Increase example by exercising in the evening, which ultimately also helps your self-confidence.

3. Improve your body language:

Anyone hunched over, hides their face behind their hands at the desk or constantly frowns, could appear tense or insecure - at least that is how their fellow human beings could interpret it.

Make it easier for yourself if, literally speaking, you don't make yourself too small and open your eyes.

This also makes it much easier for your counterpart to respond to you.

Try it.

This body language can make you look unprofessional

4. Surround yourself with the right people.

You don't have to get along with everyone.

So surround yourself with these people who are good for you.

Be it during the lunch break with colleagues, for example.

Conversely, that means: "Keep your distance from negative people who pull you down and constantly make you bad", the experts on "Career Bible" meanwhile generally advise.

In such an environment, self-confidence cannot grow.

5. Don't take criticism personally

: Everyone should take this tip to heart as well.

Because criticism does not mean - if it is factually justified and presented - that someone does not value you because of it.

On the other hand, if you only start from the negative, that's

the biggest mistake.

Of course, it is not easy to work on yourself.

Perhaps it will help you if you view the criticism as an opportunity to develop personally.
