Confidence in Peer Relationships
Suggested Strategy: One of the best ways to build confidence is to find people who know how to encourage you and build you up. When peers know how to best support you, the more you will demonstrate growth. This comes through the process of peer group selection, which can often be a struggle for employees. Help your employee who has a lack of confidence get the peer selection piece taken care of, then watch their confidence increase.
Suggested Questions:
Î Rating Question: On a scale of one to six, with six being you feel like you have a strong support system that helps you with your confidence on a daily basis, and one being you feel like you have few to no peer connections, which diminishes your confidence, where would you rate yourself and why? What can I do to help you find better peer connections to help you do so? Î Risk Question: What risk do you assume by not building better peer relationships in connection with your confidence? What do you feel is holding you back from seeking these peer relationships? Î Dig Deeper: Avoid wasting time later by asking which personalities they work best with, and the type of people they seek friendship with outside of work.
Suggested Activities:
Î Role Play: Practice what building a peer relationship looks like. Revisit the risk question from earlier where they disclosed what is holding them back from seeking peer relationships. Then practice the things that are holding them back. For example, if the employee states they don’t seek relationships because they don’t know what to say, come up with some conversations starters and practice them together.
