SELF -BELIEVE
I, Alfonso Bucero, have been working in project management for the past forty years. When I was younger and began working in the IT industry, I was hesitant to speak in front of groups of people, felt uneasy in meetings, and lacked confidence when making choices. In the projects I oversaw, the majority of my team members were older than I was. I didn’t think highly of myself. However, I’ve discovered over the years that having confidence in oneself can help us realize our aspirations, reach our goals, and be happier. I think that when we don’t believe in ourselves, we become afraid to act, to change, or to try to improve things. That means that believing in ourselves is kind of like you charge your batteries and increase your positivism every day. We can achieve everything we believe we can. You will find some obstacles in your path but you will be able to overcome it using your passion, persistence and patience. As a project manager, I was blocked early in my career because my thoughts, attitudes, and actions were not aligned with my goals. When I discovered that having a positive thinking about myself I could break some old personal barriers regarding my feelings, my life as a project manager changed. That means that believing in ourselves is kind of like you charge your batteries and increase your positivism every day. You will find some obstacles in your path but you will be able to overcome it using your passion, persistence and patience. Ask Yourself the following questions: 1. Do you feel good about your project management skills, strengths, and abilities? 2. Do you feel good about your personal qualities? 3. Do you feel good about your judgment and level of indecisiveness? 4. Can you rely on yourself? 5. Can you trust that you\’ll do what you say you\’ll do? 6. Are you an integrity practitioner? 7. Do you feel free to do what you want to do? 8. Do you believe that no one can stop you from reaching your dreams? If you answered \”no\” or were leaning towards \”no\” to any of these questions, those are likely the areas that thwart your ability to believe in yourself. Spend some time thinking more about how you might shift these self-beliefs to believe in yourself more.
