You may not describe yourself as someone lacking in confidence, but would you be able to spot if you were?

In our experience as coaches, so many issues we come across are linked to a lack of confidence in one situation or another. That’s normal and natural. But often people don’t recognise it, which makes it hard to do something about it. And it can really get in the way or your career.

Feeling overloaded? As a manager delegation is key to helping you manage your time effectively. If you’ve been promoted and find yourself still doing parts of your old job, is it time to change?

Are there tasks you could delegate to others? Think about it. Is there something you are doing that is no longer part of your core role? If so, ask yourself this question – why haven’t I delegated this task to someone else?

When we face a challenge we’re bound to feel a bit out of our depth. If we didn’t it wouldn’t be a challenge would it?

Whether it’s getting promoted into a new role, taking on more responsibility or working on something that’s high profile in the business, we’re going to feel some doubt and uncertainty. It's often referred to as imposter syndrome. Doubting yourself, questioning that you can do something, feeling out of your depth.
