Many people deal with a lack of self-confidence at work—from grappling with feelings of inadequacy to experiencing impostor syndrome (feeling you are a fraud). The good news is that you can grow your self-confidence and put those feelings of self-doubt at bay. According to Megan Denneny, writing for Career Contessa, there are several ways to deal with your lack of self-confidence, including: 

Choosing to take risks. Conquering an obstacle or making a change, large or small, can be a huge boost to your self-confidence. Making a decision is empowering and bolsters your sense of agency. 

Keeping track of your accomplishments. Take time to list your successes and how you achieved them. Keeping track of what you have accomplished provides tangible proof of your abilities.  

Pursue opportunities. When you spot an opportunity for career advancement, you should pursue it. By advocating for yourself and communicating your worth, you will build your self-confidence and increase your colleagues’ trust in you. 

Trying new things. When you conquer something outside of work, such as learning a new dance move or signing up for a creative writing class, you carry that feeling of accomplishment with you in whatever else you pursue. 

Self-confidence takes practice and achieving it will help you reach your career and work goals. Read  How to Face Your Lack of Confidence for more insights.
