Not over-providing info is honestly a huge life hack. It makes communicating what you need so much simpler and less awkward.
Yep, lacking confidence kills your job growth. I’ve met some incredibly talented folks who spoke exactly like you showed, and it’s so hard for them to ever be noticed for their talents.
I’m a huge over-sharer. This is very helpful. Thank you!
Something I do when I think my suggestion might get rejected is to ask “What would happen if…?” Then if there is a legitimate problem with the suggestion they have to explain what it is. Otherwise, they can imagine it happening and see the good it would do
This was something i had to hardcore unlearn— and it actually improved not just my self worth but also my relationships with other people
The context thing is common for people who have trauma from not being believed or made to believe things are their fault. They feel unsafe voicing something that may upset the boat, so they try to justify “being a problem.” Then finding out people think it’s annoying is also difficult because you’re only getting so anxious in an effort to people please and NOT ruffle feathers. It can take ages to spot this and learn to manage it. Ask me how I know. 😂
I really needed this advice, I'm a chronic over explainer! Always feels like it'll help but this video really helps illustrate how it's the opposite.
omg this is literally me. i work overseas and oftentimes i feel like i should be grateful and dont be a burden. i really need this video. thank you so much
That's so reassuring since I used to think emails should be long when I really only had two sentences to say. I love the channel and all the advice you offer!!
I have struggled with how to keep people on track at work my entire career. It has limited me. It is SO HARD for me to “tell people what to do”. Even when it’s my job. I like how you cut to the chase, Erin 💙💙💙
As a teenager who's exactly like this, tysm i really needed this video ❤.
Great tips! Im realizing people use "bump up" and "move back" differently!
Im 26 but I still struggle to learn this…just keep telling myself playing low and “soft” doesn’t make people respect you more. And taking others emotions too seriously will only sacrifice ur emotions
Please Erin do more of these 😢I have zero self confidence skills
Keeping the company profitable is my job but they still hate me for laying off uncompetitive divisions. It sucks, work can be hostile from those around me hating me for doing my job.
I so needed this. Will definitely be using these techniques! Thank you!
the last one is so true. i need to work on it really badly 😭
I have OCD and part of that is trying to perfectly form a sentence! Thanks for the tips!
Ok well you just reenacted my entire workday today 😂
