In the know: Approach your manager with confidence

Filed under : SON Weekly

If you hesitate to approach your manager, ask yourself why.

  • What is the fear or hesitation about?
  • Did you have a bad past experience?
  • Is it just lack of experience?

Understanding and acknowledging how you feel will set the tone for communication. Feeling secure when speaking to your manager is all about your level of self-awareness. The confidence that arises when you take care of your own needs will keep you plugged into your own power—which gives you motivation to form great relationships that will keep you coming back for more.

Stating what you want or need reflects a healthy sense of self-esteem.
