Voici comment vous pouvez exploiter la confiance en soi pour exceller en tant que gestionnaire de programme.

Surround yourself with supportive mentors and peers who uplift you. Practice self-affirmation and stay resilient in the face of challenges. Trust your decision-making abilities and remain confident in your leadership style. Self-belief not only enhances your performance but also inspires your team to follow suit. ✨ #SelfBelief #Confidence #Leadership

Goals give you a game plan. Without goals, you are dust in the wind. Going where that wind takes you. Having a plan of action sets you on a path for success. I was recently let go from my job. Nothing I did. Project was up and there was no position for me. It hurt and my ego was a little tarnished. After a little “woe is me” time I set some goals. Applications submitted per week; what could I do to bolster my resume; networking with x amount of people each week. It gave me something to do, something to concentrate on, a way to practice my PM skill set. Now I’ve had three interviews and I’m looking at some job offers. Goals drive the game plan no matter what the scenario.

Receiving peer feedback can be a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth. Although it can be challenging, confiding in trusted individuals for honest and constructive feedback can help you avoid defensive responses. Additionally, gathering feedback from the entire team at the end of a project provides valuable insights and fosters a collaborative environment.

In nuclear power we like to say “feedback is a gift”. You can say that all you want but unless you embrace it, it’s a hollow mantra. Feedback is a gift, if you can sort the grain from the chaff. Truth be told, most people are unable to give good, let alone great feedback. If you can put your ego aside and not take it as a personal attack, even if it is delivered as such, you can learn something from every morsel of feedback. Additionally, if it was delivered less than effectively, you can help that individual get better at giving it. It all comes down to responsibility. The ability to respond. If you can’t learn from what someone has to say then you are right. And you will never get better. Embrace it and find tune your performance

As a PM you don’t always get to pick and choose the project you’re assigned. You may not be the technical expert and you may not have had any input to the charter or plan. This is when you have to leverage the strengths you have. Project management isn’t just one facet or skill. It encompasses a myriad of expertise and competencies. I was recently assigned a project and had little to no knowledge of the systems we were preparing to test. I leveraged my interpersonal and leadership skills to empower and enable the technical experts to accomplish what needed to be done. At other times, you might have to rely on your expertise. The key is being able to be fluid and adapt to each situation.
