46: 3 Solutions To Deal With Judgmental Co-workers

Today we’ll talk about how you can be more confident at work - specifically how to feel more confident when surrounded by colleagues that make you feel bad all day. I’ll walk you through three potential solutions to help you deal with negative comments from colleagues at work, and to help you feel more confident having those tough conversations.

Negative colleagues can drive down productivity and the mood of the team. Sometimes outside stressors can lead to a hostile work environment, or we might just have clashing personalities that don’t fit well. Since we all react to stress differently and we all have our own stuff going on outside of work, this stress can be carried over to the workplace and make the work environment a tough place to navigate.

Find out why doubting yourself can take up mental resources, how to find mental resources to deal with work problems, and how to fuel your soul. Learn how to start from a full confidence cup, and why mindset is so important when it comes to any interaction with other people, colleagues included.
