Do you believe in yourself?
Since I was a little girl my favorite quote has been, "Believe in yourself and all things are possible." For the most part, throughout my life and throughout my career I have believed in myself. That belief has been the cornerstone of my success.
Yet, so many of my clients and the women I speak to at seminars, lack that innate belief in themselves that I have always taken for granted. In a recent article, Rebecca Macieira-Kaufman, President of Citibank California, said, “Don't underestimate yourself. Do a great job at whatever you do. If your job requires you to do X, Y, and, Z, do a fantastic job of X, Y, and Z. Producing fantastic results means you’ll have more opportunities.”
When you do a fantastic job, you will receive more positive recognition. When you receive more positive recognition, it adds to your confidence. When you feel more confident, you will receive more opportunities. The next thing you know, you start to believe in yourself. When you believe in yourself, so do others. It's really that simple.

I recently conducted mid year reviews with my staff and this was a big part of the conversations. I really wanted to hit home on the idea of doing their very best in their present jobs in order to get noticed for future job promotions and other opportunities within the company. If possible I would like a copy of the article that you are referring to in your blog. I think there are times we doubt ourselves and its people like you and the other great network that we surround ourselves with that enable us to pick oursevles back up and move forward.
