Dear Corporate Queen, Afraid of how you will be perceived?
Scared of how you would be perceived in the workplace even when you know you are doing an AWESOME job?
Three ways to work through that fear: --Afraid of speaking: Send emails about the work you do. Do not assume anyone is seeing it..send emails and copy your manager or managers manager....wait for it...they would be coming to you soon.
-- Afraid of going out to happy hour and having nothing to say: Go out and talk about what you enjoy doing. You would either be teaching someone something new or find out you both have similar passions! The trick is not to talk about what happens in mars...talk about you!
--Afraid of coming off as a non team player: Help without being asked. Buy a gift for your team mates (birthday, anniversaries,babies, etc), compliment them. Do not let being shy stop you from saying Hi.
Do you have any more tips?
Do share!
