You are Getting Better!

A friend of mine was laid off in the early days of his career.

This really affected his confidence not just at work but in other areas of life.

So, he tried to boost his confidence by getting many certifications. But these did not help him overcome the self-doubt that the lay off had created in him.

It had made him believe there was a ‘glass ceiling’ limiting his career.

Not too long ago, we both got talking and by sharing about my own journey, I was able to help him overcome this self-doubt.

I helped him see how he had learnt through the experience and that the guy who got laid off is not the same guy today – HE HAS GROWN!

Today he’s a senior manager in a top north american financial services company leading a team of 6+ people.

I touched base with him more recently and he’s aiming for an Assistant Vice President role! I’m so happy for him!

Most of all he’s a more confident, happier man, husband and father.

Don’t let past mistakes prevent you from moving forward.

You are not the same you.

You have grown!
