190. Feeling Stuck at Work? A Client Story About Rebuilding Confidence

Have you ever felt stuck at work?This week’s episode is a client story exploring how certain work environments can trigger self-doubt, low confidence, procrastination, and burnout — even in highly capable professionals.When one professional joined an organisation to drive change, she found herself in a culture that operated very differently from her preferred working style. Instead of recognising this as a potential workplace fit issue, she began to internalise the struggle.What followed was a familiar cycle: overthinking, second-guessing decisions, losing confidence, procrastinating, and feeling trapped in her own head. The more she doubted herself, the harder it became to take action — leading to increased stress and burnout.This episode explores why confidence at work is often shaped by environment, not ability, and how capable professionals can start to rebuild clarity, self-trust, and effectiveness without changing who they are.You’ll learn:• Why capable professionals can start doubting themselves at work• How workplace fit influences confidence and performance• The “low confidence cycle” explained• How self-doubt can lead to overthinking, procrastination, and burnout• How to recognise when it’s a fit issue rather than a capability issue• Practical ways to rebuild confidence and self-trustWant to be more confident at work?Start here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠take our free: Confidence Assessment ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get private support to feel confident at work - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠book a call to explore private coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Explore and join the Confident At Work Programme - https://www.yesyoucoaching.com/confident-at-work-programmeCover art by Jacob McFaddenTheme song by Melissa Carter @ Making Audio Magic
