隨著我在職業(yè)道路上的不斷成長和進(jìn)步，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多有助于提升信心的因素，而且對我自己和別人來說都有效。我的一條重要結(jié)論是不斷挑戰(zhàn)自我并且抓住可以讓自身能力多元化、提高領(lǐng)導(dǎo)技能并拓寬人際網(wǎng)絡(luò)的機會?！澳汩L大了想成為什么樣的人？”步入職業(yè)生涯后，我們都應(yīng)該這樣問自己。此外，以下四個問題會為我們的能力注入更多的價值和從容，并最終提升我們的信心。這四個問題是：

我要接納風(fēng)險嗎？

我的指導(dǎo)者曾告訴我要“安于不安”。她鼓勵我把自己推到安逸環(huán)境以外，以便了解新的職位，迎接新的挑戰(zhàn)，并在職業(yè)道路上繼續(xù)發(fā)展。抱負(fù)激發(fā)成長，成長又為抱負(fù)注入動力。如果我們接納風(fēng)險，而不是躲避它，我們就更有可能保持投入狀態(tài)，學(xué)到更多東西并不斷有所斬獲。只要覺得猶豫或者沒有把握，我就會告訴自己，風(fēng)險能帶來巨大回報。我承擔(dān)的一些最大的風(fēng)險對我的職業(yè)生涯和自身領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力的發(fā)展產(chǎn)生了最積極的影響。

我要發(fā)揮長處嗎？

人們往往擅長于自己最關(guān)心的東西。如果有一技之長，就不要掩飾！無論你是聯(lián)絡(luò)大客戶的最佳人選，還是辦公室里唯一知道怎樣使用掃描儀的人，大家都會記住你的能力和自信，就算你的強項不是最有魅力的那種。

我要利用變化嗎？

職場上的變化可能很難適應(yīng)，而且許多人都害怕變化的場面屢見不鮮。然而，老員工離職，新員工上崗，以及新的部門或政策取得成果之時，正是展示能力和信心的最佳機會。反過來，如果經(jīng)歷的變化不夠多，那你的首要任務(wù)就是跟上司談?wù)?，以確保自己處于成長狀態(tài)。

我要承認(rèn)自己的錯誤（并吸取教訓(xùn)）嗎？

在工作中犯錯會成為職業(yè)生涯中最打擊信心的因素之一，但承認(rèn)錯誤有助于我們下次把事情做對。為錯誤承擔(dān)責(zé)任不僅是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者應(yīng)有的關(guān)鍵技能，它還是培養(yǎng)信心的絕佳途徑。一旦你能得心應(yīng)手地運用接受批評并且恢復(fù)過來的能力，你就會對擔(dān)任項目或小組討論負(fù)責(zé)人的問題不再猶疑。如果能承認(rèn)自己的錯誤，而且是迅速承認(rèn)，不瞻前顧后，然后再提出解決辦法，人們就會重視你，而你也會獲得自信。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

As I’ve continued to grow and evolve in my own career, I’ve seen a number of factors contribute to growth in confidence – both for myself and others. One key takeaway is to keep challenging yourself and taking opportunities that allow you to diversify your capabilities, strengthen your leadership skills and build a broader network. “What do you want to be when you grow up” is a question we should ask ourselves well into our careers. Below are four other questions to instill greater value and comfort in your own capabilities, and ultimately increase your confidence:

Am I embracing risk?

My mentor once told me to “be comfortably uncomfortable.” She encouraged me to push myself just beyond my comfort zone in order to learn new roles, meet new challenges, and continue to grow in my career. Ambition sparks growth, and growth re-energizes ambition. If we embrace risk instead of hiding from it, we’re more likely to stay engaged, learn more and continue to achieve. Whenever I feel hesitant or uncertain, I remind myself that risk can come with great reward. Some of the biggest risks I’ve taken have had the best impact on my career and leadership growth.

Am I playing to my strengths?

People tend to be good at what they care most about, and if you’re good at something, don’t hide behind it! Whether you’re the best at connecting with important clients, or you’re the only one in the office who knows how to use the scanner, people will remember your skill and your confidence. Even if your expertise isn’t the most glamorous.

Am I taking advantage of change?

Change in the workplace can be hard to adapt to, and all too often many of us fear it. Yet when employees leave, new hires come on, or new departments and policies come to fruition, these are the best opportunities to showcase your skills and confidence. On the other end of the spectrum, if you’re not encountering enough change, prioritize talking with your manager to make sure you’re on a growing trajectory.

Am I owning (and learning) from my mistakes?

Making a mistake at work can be one of the most confidence-depleting aspects of your career, but owning mistakes will help you get it right the next time. Not only is taking responsibility for mistakes a crucial skill to have for leadership roles, but it’s also a great way to build your poise. Once you can get comfortable with your ability to take the blame and recover, you’ll be less hesitant when it comes to taking the lead on projects or group discussions. If you can acknowledge your mistakes — quickly, not dwelling on them — and then propose solutions, people will value you, and you’ll believe in you.
