Having low self-esteem or confidence issues can be a real challenge in life, particularly in the office and particularly for assistants. Although not all of us are blessed with unwavering self-confidence (I certainly am not!) There are areas within the role that every assistant should feel comfortable with and have confidence in their own abilities. Confidence comes from knowing what you are really good at. How do you gain confidence?

Quite often I am asked which courses I would recommend for assistants that are just starting in the profession and want to undertake some training to increase their skills and help them move up the career ladder. I always say that it is extremely important for assistants to attend training courses throughout the year. We have to be experts at IT, we have to have great people skills and we have to be assertive and confident to be able to handle all of the daily tasks asked of us!

One of the best training courses I have attended in my career was an introduction to NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) with specific training on emotional intelligence. So why is “totes emosh” training (sorry, I’m from Essex) useful for assistants? Why should assistants undertaken training in this area? All in all the training really helped me focus.

Is it really true that the more technical training and certifications you receive, the more valuable you are to clients? They don’t expect you to know everything, so have confidence in what you do know. If you think you need additional training , consider that it might be wise to instead focus on what you do best—and do it really well. If you want to have a certain specialty , yes, it helps to get good training, but there is another way. by Donna Toothaker.

I know that confidence is needed in the working world. In other words, has your confidence turned into arrogance? Now, contrast that with the definition of confidence: "A feeling of assurance or certainty." We don't think we are arrogant, just confident. I challenge you to think about whether your confidence has turned into something more damaging. When you have confidence, you're not afraid to help train or educate workers with less knowledge or skill.
