“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.” Arab proverb

There is a taboo in the workplace. I call it ‘alright-ism’. We seem unable or unwilling to acknowledge and take control of experiences at work that sap our confidence, lower our self-esteem and batter our resilience. Things can be really going pear-shaped, and we still feel obliged to say ‘it’s alright’. because to say anything else feels like failure, and failure is too painful to admit. Not only that, we fear the response of those around us, who may get nervous or condemn our faintheartedness. So we deny the pain and carry on.

I think it’s time to break the taboo.

When your confidence and self-esteem disappear, fear, anger, distress and other negative emotions come into play. These in turn distort the way you see the world, and your responses to it. If you are worried about a situation, your worry can seriously hamper your ability to deal effectively with it. If you lack confidence, your timidity prevents you from facing and taking charge of your situation.

The good news is that you can do something about it, and you can emerge stronger. You may not be able to change the circumstances, but you can choose how you respond to them.

Recover Your Balance encourages you back towards self-belief, confidence and the positive emotions that will fuel a full recovery and literally help you ‘recover your balance’. You will understand what is going wrong, and get really clear about what you want from the situation and from your life. And you can start taking action right now to recover your self-belief and effectiveness. I will show you how.
