B, a talented professional transitioning to her dream job at Google, faced substantial challenges during her initial six months in the role. Responsible for managing critical accounts and engaging with C-suite stakeholders, she navigated an environment where most peers had extensive tenure. Amidst company reorganisation and layoffs, she often wrestled with feelings of insecurity, questioning her ability to fully contribute to client success.
Addressing the Inner Critic
We started by helping B navigate her self-judgment, using techniques to shift negative thoughts and celebrate her achievements. We also developed strategies that helped her clarify expectations, and confidently asking more time and help when needed.
Establishing Healthy Boundaries
B developed skills to prioritize tasks, delegate effectively, and manage her workload, ensuring she could excel without sacrificing her well-being. We also cultivated new habits to boost her mental and physical well-being, ensuring she navigates high-stress situations with resilience.
Enhancing Communication and Presence
Recording positive feedback became a source of strength for B, affirming her accomplishments and self-worth. Weekly documentation of achievements empowered her to see her growth and readiness for performance reviews. Enhanced communication strategies enabled B to connect more effectively with her boss and stakeholders, ensuring her messages were clear and impactful.
Developing Comfort with Risk-Taking:
We introduced tools that helped B distinguish between real risks and perceived fears giving her the confidence to tackle challenges head-on. Embracing calculated risks empowered her to broaden her professional horizons and break free from self-imposed limitations
B’s experience shows the incredible power of our minds. Often, our self-doubt stems from underlying patterns, negative self-talk, and the fear of criticism and judgement. By becoming aware of these factors and developing comfort in expressing our needs, saying no and asking for help, we can achieve far more than we ever thought possible.
