Be Proud Of Your Professional ID

In a previous blog, I talked about the definition of professional identification. I hope you took some good trinkets of information from it. Here are a couple of reminders for when you doubt yourself or your accomplishments:

• You are not identified by your company or the position you held.

• You are defined by your accomplishments, experience, skills and talents.

• Don’t apologize for not having a job title or for being in-between jobs. You are waiting for the right thing to come along and do not owe anyone an apology.

• Sell yourself and your capabilities boldly or people won’t know you.

• Your professional identification grows as you gather more experience and certifications. Don’t stop learning and expanding your mind.

• Don’t minimize the value of your professional identity, it took a long time to get it.

• Journal your thoughts, feelings and emotions. It’s a great reference tool.

• Celebrate yourself and give yourself space.

• Have self-confidence because you are probably much stronger than you think you are.

• Understand what drives your energy and how to consciously shift that energy to better serve you.

• Empower yourself to do the things that bring you joy.

• Focus on being the best version of yourself.
