You will discover how your inner thought processes, behaviours, and self-perception influence your professional confidence level.

The need to acquire industry-specific knowledge and skills is an expected part of work and job performance. However, having confidence and belief in your own abilities and prospects is rarely considered as something required for work. Yet, it is often how confident we feel about ourselves and our abilities that influence how we feel, perform and succeed at work. This course focuses on a critical, yet undervalued, attribute needed for work success - confidence. You will discover how your inner thought processes, behaviours, and self-perception influence your professional confidence level. From there, you will practice new behaviours, communication techniques, and thinking styles to enhance and sustain professional confidence. This course also explores the role of assertive communication methods in building and expressing confidence. Occurs over two sessions. Attendance to both sessions is mandatory for successful completion. Training will be facilitated by the Gardiner Centre from the Faculty of Business Administration at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Examine how your inner thought processes and thinking styles can undermine your professional confidence
• Practice shifting away from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset to restructure how you perceive yourself and your professional capabilities
• Consider how assertive communication techniques can help you communicate in a more confident, open manner
• Develop a professional confidence plan with actionable steps to take back and implement at work
