‘Face to Face’ Confidence Training Speaking up is tough, it’s really tough, especially when you’re at work. No matter how stagnant your progress feels or how frustrated you are with your position, being assertive feels like a risk. Maybe you feel like your hard work isn’t being rewarded or you’re being stepped on by other employees, but you keep quiet about it because you don’t want to make anyone mad. It’s a lack of self-confidence that’s the problem, and it’s far too common. So many people miss out on promotions, pay raises and fulfilment at work because they’re afraid to be assertive. And when you think about it, it’s kind of mind-blowing isn’t it? I mean picture this scenario: You have a colleague who starts the same day as you. Let’s call him Bill. And you and Bill are pretty much the same person. Same qualifications. Same level of experience. Same paycheck You’ve even got the same tie on. But what’s also the same is that neither of you are happy with the position of your desk. You're stuffed away in a corner away from the windows and away from the atmosphere of the office. And what does Bill do? He goes straight to the boss’s office and knocks on the door. Next thing you know, you’re in that corner all alone and Bill is enjoying the sunlight and the banter. It seems like it should be so simple for you to do the same thing. Just stand up and make yourself heard. Get changes made that you think you’re entitled to. But the fact is that it’s not that simple. Even seeing others do things that cause us untold amounts of fear doesn’t necessarily reduce that fear. Confidence doesn’t come naturally. Lacking it could be the result of your childhood and upbringing, it could be a psychological consequence of anxiety, there are many reasons for it. And no matter what the root cause is, the best way to deal with it, is through a systematic plan of action, which will involve hard work and practice. Getting yourself together with people who you know face the same struggles and are also trying to overcome them. In like-minded company, you can feel more comfortable recreating situations which require assertiveness and putting confident acts into practice.

Even if you’re unhappy, and even if you know that there are some little changes that could be made to improve your working life and your progression through it, speaking up is not easy. And the worst thing about it, is that you can see other people doing it every single day and STILL you can’t find the confidence within yourself to be assertive. Bill from two desks down started the same day as you, and already he’s got a pay raise and a brand new work laptop. And all he had to do was voice his concerns to the boss. Can we all be like Bill?
