Put on your game face and act confident. Surprising as it may sound, there can be a difference between feeling confident and acting confident. As research on the brain shows, your behavior has a powerful influence on your beliefs and attitudes. A potent way to increase confidence is to simply "act as if" you are confident. Many people find it helpful to act like a particular role model, even to behave like actors or characters. The point is not to be dishonest about who you are, rather it is to give yourself practice behaving with skill in certain areas where you want to develop better confidence. Over time, with enough practice, you will begin to naturally feel more confident.

There are certain things we all appreciate from our co-workers. We like them to be smart, courteous, and to smell nice. But each Style has more specific traits that they pay attention to and value from their co-workers.

Driving Style people look to their co-workers to be confident in their own abilities, and likewise to be competent in their performance. They will want others to prove their abilities before they will become entirely comfortable with them. Because they are focused on results, they want others to show commitment to achieving goals. They don't like to waste time, so they want their co-workers to be efficient, particularly when others' work directly impacts them. They also want others to be direct and to share their opinions in a straightforward way.

Research shows that people speak to themselves endlessly, using hundreds of words every minute. You might be surprised that it is part of our human nature to focus more on negatives than positives. Extensive research shows that humans have a bias toward negative thinking rather than positive thinking. If much of what you say to yourself is negative, this is probably affecting your outlook. You can learn to think more positively. This does not mean that you hide from unpleasantness or that you have an unrealistically positive outlook. It means that you can approach the world, including difficulty, with a positive and productive state of mind. A positive outlook increases people's ability to cope with stressful situations. ⁣

People of each Style give different signals that they are uncomfortable or feeling stress. During meetings or conversations, you can look for these signals and try to address the situation in a way that lowers tension.

Amiable Style people express their discomfort in ways that can be easily overlooked by others, so it is sometimes more difficult to notice that they are uncomfortable. They are likely to withdraw and become even less assertive than normal. They will appear to go along with whatever is happening, or with decisions that are being made. However, this acquiescence is deceptive since internally they are feeling tension. They may try to express their displeasure through brief remarks which can be passively hostile, and physically they can become fidgety and may avoid direct eye contact with others.

You can go a long way towards managing stress by dedicating time for the important stuff.
✔️ Set aside dedicated time on your office calendar for working on the important things. This will help manage the stress of trying to accomplish multiple tasks.
✔️ When possible, accomplish your difficult tasks during times that are relatively stress-free. It is not a good idea to tackle your most challenging objectives when you are under pressure in other areas of your life. This is likely to result in frustration.
➡️ Organize yourself and your time in such a way that you can manage the big projects without interference from other pressing demands or stressors.
