Here's how you can cultivate confidence in the workplace.
Cultivating confidence in your workplace is essential for both personal and professional growth. Confidence can enhance your performance, improve relationships with colleagues, and open up opportunities for advancement. While it might seem like some people are just naturally confident, the truth is that confidence is a skill that can be developed over time. By leveraging techniques from Motivational Interviewing (MI), a counseling approach designed to elicit behavior change by helping individuals explore and resolve ambivalence, you can strengthen your self-assurance at work. MI emphasizes the importance of listening and asking open-ended questions, which can be adapted to self-dialogue and reflection in the context of building workplace confidence.
