How to demonstrate Confidence for Professional Success

Let me rephrase the question. Is this your current situation at work?

• You’re good at your job responsibilities (actually more than meeting expectations) and ready for the next level up the corporate ladder but aren’t considered because you lack Executive Presence
• You’ve been labelled as lacking confidence whereas that is not the issue at all!
• Despite your efforts, you’re just not able to position yourself as a confident professional
• This entire situation has you frustrated, the lack of opportunities that you know you are the perfect fit for and
• You are starting to wonder if you should change your job

If you answered yes, then this message is for you. Here’s why….

If you don’t take steps to present yourself and the value you’re providing to your employer, your career is going to go stagnant.

Job hopping is not the solution. It only provides temporary relief and the fake illusion that you are starting afresh.

Instead, you have to step out in confidence making sure you’re visible to the people who matter in deciding your career progression.

The Transformation Story

Very early in my career as a trainee-chartered accountant, I missed a promotion that meant a lot to me, in terms of opportunities, pay increment and peer competition. Being very young at the time, and it felt like apocalypse had happened.

I was a top performer, had done 2 prestigious industrial secondments, one of which was the 1988 Big Bang in London. My shock and anger are understandable.

The details of that day are still fresh in my mind. I was working on an audit assignment at a client’s premise. I got a call from the Group Secretary to let me know that the Group Manager wanted to talk to me. Could I come back to the office after lunch?

I thought it would be about some audit assignment and didn’t give it much thought. I was completely unprepared for what happened in that meeting.

My Group Manager was a great boss and our meeting started with cordiality. Then, looking out of the window, he said he wanted to share an important bit of news with me first before the rest of the department found out.

Our annual promotions were going to be announced and I was not getting promoted.

I sat there quietly with my hands clasped in my lap while I heard the reason. I was being overlooked because one of my Group Managers thought I was ‘too nice’ and needed some tough skin!

He felt he owed me an explanation because he thought I was good and ready. The Partners had decided to go with a Lady Manager on this one.

My Group Manager mumbled away about rectifying this deficiency. The solution was a 6-month transfer to the Insolvency Department to toughen me up.

His idea was that if I heard screaming creditors baying for blood on the telephone demanding money from companies that didn’t have any, I’d overcome this deficiency. I did – my way.

I took the challenge head on.

6 months later, I got the promotion, pay rise and yes, led audits and even trained new aspiring-chartered accountants.

A year later I qualified and set off to trail blaze in the deserts of Qatar as the first lady auditor in the profession and that too during the Gulf War. Many more firsts and career achievements would follow in the years to come.

I never thought I’d admit it to anyone but more than 25 years later, I’m grateful for the transfer to Insolvency. There I learned a lot as a professional discovering how to appear confident without experiencing Imposter Syndrome.

You really don’t have to go through what I’ve been, and I have a solution.
