During my coaching discussions, I often noticed the underlying issue to many problems encountered in both personal and professional lives is our degree of SELF WORTH.Β
When it comes to SELF-WORTH, there are 3 things we should always keep in mind
1. ππππ ππππ πππππ
Defining your worth is very important. If you don’t understand your worth and the value you bring to the table, why should anyone else?
Questions to ask:
βWhat is your natural talent? What are your inherent abilities?
βWhat unique blend of skills, expertise and experience do you possess?
βWhat’s your βUnfair Advantageβ in the workplace/job market?
βWhat problems do you solve? What is the tangible impact of solving them?
2. πππππππππππ ππππ πππππ
Once you know your worth, it’s equally essential to be able to communicate it to others. Some of the ways to do this are:
β
Have a compelling βelevator pitchβ ready during hiring discussions
β
Articulate your results with measurable impact during performance appraisals
β
Donβt shy away from speaking about your achievements and results
β
Engage in meaningful career discussions with your manager and clearly state expectations

Knowing your worth and communicating it wonβt naturally make everything fall in place. π
π Do not allow others to decide or diminish your self-worth
π Donβt try to shrink yourself or blend in; rather be proud to stand out and hone your authenticity
πSetting healthy boundaries helps reinforce self-worth and self-love; learn to say βNoβ when you must
π Know when to leave the table and go where you are appreciated
