Creating Confidence
Posted on June 26, 2020 by Julie Smith, One of Thousands of Executive Coaches on Noomii.
Periods of change and uncertainty can affect how even normally confident people feel - suddenly, they don't have control of a situation.
A Proctor & Gamble survey showed it can take 60% of those who have taken maternity leave about 4 months to regain their confidence when returning to work. Performance, productivity and engagement are affected.
It’s not just maternity returners who can experience a lack of confidence. At different stages in life and faced with varying challenges, confidence levels can ebb and flow. Redundancy, retirement, illness, changing roles, entering the workforce for the first time… and so on.
Through my coaching experience, I have met clients at all levels, in many countries, who are held back from realising their full potential by their lack of confidence, which sometimes takes even them by surprise. Once they realise their potential and get back on track again to what they want to achieve, it’s a great feeling to see them succeed.
Periods of change and uncertainty can also affect how even normally confident people feel – suddenly, they don’t have control of a situation, maybe they don’t have the answers or know what the outcome will be. This can really impact how people respond, reacting in the moment rather than taking stock and responding in a considered and thoughtful manner.
I coach clients to (re)build their confidence, enabling them to be their best and demonstrate what they are capable of.
