You weren’t imagining it – many choices about our jobs and the structure of our work were genuinely outside of our control. In the face of such tumult and change, it’s easy to fear that we lack agency, choice, and ideal options for the future of our careers. However, there is one thing that we can control: confidence in our skills, expertise, and value. It turns out that developing our career confidence can become a superpower to help us move from reactivity to resiliency. Instead of looking outside of ourselves for direction, we need to start with looking at ourselves and becoming more of who we are. In this experiential talk, we’ll learn how to grow career confidence through powerful practices like transforming self-talk, focusing on your strengths and successes instead of weaknesses, following curiosity and learning new things, collaboration, and sharing your knowledge. If there’s one thing that we’ve learned since 2020, it’s that many elements of life are far beyond our control. However, the tools and practices shared in this talk will help you focus on that which you can not only influence, but on things you can actually change. You’ll be on the path to develop the career confidence you need to shape your career into one where you can truly start being your brilliance and achieve your professional goals.
