Learn to believe in yourself

Reframing confidence
Ask someone to describe a confident person, and they’re likely to paint a vivid picture. Confident people don’t hold back, whether that means expressing an opinion, speaking up at work, or addressing a crowd from a stage. We view confident people as being comfortable within themselves and unafraid to try new things. And we tend to believe that it’s something innate. A blessing bestowed, like curly hair or a great smile; you’ve either got it or you haven’t.

Beat the back-to-work blues
You probably know the feeling. Monday morning comes around, you're getting ready for another week sat at your desk, or in the classroom, or on the shop floor, or on the ward... and your heart sinks. It doesn't really matter where you work, or what you do, most people, at some point in their lives, go through a period of wondering: 'Is this it?
