Estie Briggs, our esteemed guest and emotional intelligence coach, shares her invaluable insights into conquering imposter syndrome, especially in high-pressure environments like the construction industry. Ever wondered how to navigate the emotional turbulence of job searching or how to build confidence in your professional life? Estie’s journey, sparked by a self-assessment during her organizational development studies, led her to specialize in helping individuals overcome these very challenges. Her upcoming workshop promises strategies to combat imposter syndrome, focusing on stepping out of comfort zones and the critical, albeit uncomfortable, art of networking. Job hunting can be an emotional rollercoaster, but maintaining self-assurance and perspective is key. As we explore this terrain, we underscore the importance of recognizing your own value and determining whether a company truly merits your skills. Personal stories highlight the significance of experience in identifying mismatches and the necessity of a good fit with potential employers. Estee encourages listeners to approach career transitions with optimism, weighing self-belief against realistic expectations, and taking inspiration from the idea that understanding your worth is as essential as finding the right role. For those contemplating a career change, Estie provides practical advice on identifying transferable skills and the concept of job crafting. Drawing from Amy Wrzesniewski’s work, she emphasizes mastery, autonomy, and purpose as fundamental to job satisfaction. We also recommend tools like the Designing Your Life workbook to help you uncover tasks that energize or drain you, enabling you to pursue your true passions.
