IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS
to advance your career
You are a sensitive and talented professional woman, who works hard and always gives her best professionally.
Your natural empathy and sense of collaboration are real assets, which makes you a colleague and partner appreciated by all.
You know how to get to the bottom of things, make thoughtful comments and innovative proposals, professional qualities that are increasingly sought after today!
However, when you are sensitive and introverted, advancing your career is not always easy.
Here’s what you may often feel:
♦ In meetings, you get lost in explanations and justifications instead of being concise and punchy
♦ You hesitate at the coffee machine to talk about what you do. Besides, it doesn’t fit at all with your introverted personality, which likes to value others.
♦ Despite your good performance, you are discouraged and disappointed because no one seems to see your professional potential.
♦ Nothing is more painful than confronting so-called “difficult” colleagues, who make you feel small.
♦ Saying “no” is often difficult for you. You like to help others, so the workload gets heavier and heavier
♦ Using and growing your professional network is not for you. You understand the value of doing it, but how do you approach complete strangers? And by the way, you don’t have time for that.
Introverted and sensitive people have to deal with a flood of emotions that hold them back professionally. They lack the tools or knowledge to be heard. Finally, they feel they have to force themselves to copy extroverts, even when it requires intense effort.
Clarity
You will be reminded of what is really important to you, where are your true talents and what motivates you. Consequently, you will :
- know what your zone of excellence is
- leverage your talents, those who bring you both happiness and fulfillment and make a real contribution to the world
You will feel lighter and at peace with yourself
This phase of introspection requires pausing to think not only about WHY we want something, but also WHO we want to be along the way to our goal, and whether being this person appeals to us.
Communication
You will know how to powerfully connect with others even if you are introvert
- be at ease to deliver your message, in writing and speaking
- Better manage your emotions and avoid feeling overwhelmed in stressful situations.
- Increase your self-confidence
This phase of communicating with impact and meet those who will make you grow, requires that you fully accept who you are. And you’ll make it!
With new beliefs, and a strategy to manage your emotions, you will be equiped to use proven communication tools to :
LOWER YOUR STRESS LEVEL
Instead of exhausting yourself trying to be perfect, you will make other conscious, more energizing and healthful choices. You’ll learn to keep perfectionism and feeling like a fraud at bay.
IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS
You will find it easier to find your words and get straight to the point in a presentation, interview or meeting. Your emotions will be under control and your message more impactful.
ASSERT YOUR AUTHORITY
You articulate your needs, without fearing rejection and/or disapproval. In this way, you appear as a responsible person, following a life which is aligned with your values and what is important to you. This is for sure inspire people!
MAINTAIN BETTER RELATIONSHIPS
Because you will be able to recognize the other person’s needs and listen to them without letting your emotions overwhelm you, you will no longer be afraid of difficult conversations. Instead, you will feel equipped to deal with them in a constructive way.
SHOWCASING YOUR SKILLS
Being more visible will no longer be a problem. You will know that you can remain authentic without feeling judged by your colleagues.
BE SEEN AN HEARD
You will be able to stand for your opinions in front of strong personalities, in so-called “difficult” discussions, or when you have to ask for a promotion.
BOOST YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE
You are exactly who you should be, naturally.
You feel valued and legitimate within the teams. You know that you can rely on your skills and experience, your intuition, your natural style, to make a difference for your organization. It will become much easier to promote your skills and achievements without feeling like you are bragging!
I know what you are going through. At the beginning of my career, I suffered from not fully taking my place at work.
I found myself in inconvenient work situations. Once, for example, I said yes to an overqualified job for fear of displeasing someone and being fired, or later accepted an under-qualified job for fear of remaining unemployed.
Introverted, sensitive and not daring to assume my true needs, I lived as a pale version of myself and often felt depleted.
Perhaps like you, at that time I was resigned…
I told myself… “What’s the use of trying to change! I have anyway to adapt to the outside world”
However, in my spare time, I sought help in books on personal development and spirituality. I took courses in communication and leadership. I was learning to manage my fears.
One day, thanks to coaching sessions focused on my feelings, I found what I no longer hoped for: a reconciliation with myself. I learned to accept my vulnerability instead of fighting it, to accept that my voice mattered and that it had an impact. At that point, I became an actress in my life and took my place professionally.
Today, I have set myself the goal of supporting women who look like me, to regain their communication power so that they can evolve professionally, while remaining authentic and true to themselves.
