🧠 Confidence & Communication — What’s the real connection?

If you’re a non-native English-speaking manager, you’ve likely felt it:

👉 You know what you want to say…
But in the moment, the words vanish. Doubt creeps in. Confidence slips away.

The truth is — language and confidence are deeply connected.
How you feel when you speak matters just as much as the words you choose.

Try this 1-minute confidence reset before your next meeting:

✨ Close your eyes
✨ Inhale slowly (4 seconds)
✨ Hold (4 seconds)
✨ Exhale gently (6 seconds)
✨ Repeat 3 times

Then say quietly to yourself:
💬 “My voice matters. I speak with clarity.”

🌿 Confidence doesn’t mean speaking perfectly. It means showing up — grounded, clear, and present.

If you’re ready to feel more confident in your communication, I’d love to help.

📩 DM me anytime — let’s build that confidence together.

Best Practices for Consistency EP 11

Lack of recognition occurs when an individual’s contributions, achievements, or hard work go unacknowledged or unrewarded. This oversight can significantly impact employee motivation, engagement, and job satisfaction. When employees feel undervalued, they may experience decreased morale, reduced productivity, and increased turnover. Recognition is a fundamental human need, and its absence can create a negative work environment. Organizations that fail to recognize their employees' efforts risk damaging their employer brand and hindering their ability to attract and retain top talent. Effective recognition programs are essential for fostering a positive and productive workplace culture.

Examples:

Overlooking achievements: Failing to acknowledge employee accomplishments.

Inequitable rewards: Distributing rewards unfairly or inconsistently.

Lack of public acknowledgment: Not recognizing employees in front of peers.

Ignoring employee feedback: Disregarding employee suggestions or ideas.

Insufficient appreciation: Failing to express gratitude for employees' contributions.

Employees feeling undervalued should take proactive steps. This might involve documenting accomplishments, seeking feedback on performance, and initiating conversations with supervisors about career goals and recognition expectations. It's essential to maintain a professional and constructive approach, focusing on the impact of their work rather than personal feelings.  Ultimately, advocating for oneself is crucial in a work environment where recognition might be lacking.

Addressing lack of recognition requires a multifaceted approach. Organizations should implement formal recognition programs, provide opportunities for peer-to-peer recognition, and create a culture where appreciation is valued. By investing in employee recognition, organizations can reap the benefits of increased job satisfaction, improved employee engagement, and enhanced organizational performance.
