How to be confident in your career
Confidence is the number one thing that a lot of people struggle with. In fact, most of us are actually being held back not by our skills or experience but by how we think about ourselves. Being more confident is not about being better than your colleagues. It’s all about knowing your role, why you are there and how you go there. A lot of insecurities we go through in our careers are based upon things and assumptions that are not even true and, most of the time, have nothing to do with our careers.  Understanding your insecurities, role, and why you are will enable you to see your value and help you stop downplaying yourself.    
 
Join the conversation with your host, Alicia Perkins, as she shares how you can be confident in your career and work. Confidence comes from within, and the most important thing you can do is work on yourself and build your inner confidence. No amount of money or title will change how you feel about yourself. Learn how to be confident in your career. Tune in!

Notable Quotes 

Knowing that role you play is knowing why and how you got there. 
You can only go as far in your career as you have grown personally 
You need to become the person you need to be that will be able to sustain the level of success that you want.
A lot of times, you don't see success in your career when there are so many areas you need to grow. 
Sometimes you will be unable to give 100%, and that is okay: normalize seasons of rest and growth.
Even in your off-seasons, you're still great because your identity is not attached to what you do at work. 
Setting goals and achieving them gives you an extra confidence boost 
If you don't remember your wins and the impact in your off-seasons, you'll feel like a complete loser.
Sometimes people will stop cheering you on, not because you stop being great but because they are busy.
Confidence comes from within; having a certain title or amount of money is not going to change how you feel about yourself.
