\nI am not good enough for this job.
\nAny other irrational beliefs you hear yourself saying.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
5. Challenge these shoulds, musts and demands for comfort and approval.<\/p>\n
Why is it awful to remind people of my value?
\nWhy can’t I stand people thinking I am boastful if it will help my career?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n6. Replace your irrational beliefs with more rational ideas.<\/p>\n
It is useful to find ways to show my worth to the organization even if others don’t approve.
\nIf I don’t believe in myself, who will?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n

8. Don’t be discouraged or put off if others laugh at your efforts.<\/p>\n
9. Stay focused – your goal is to be recognized as a valuable employee.<\/p>\n
