Confidence can be a great thing, and it can take you far. However, when your ego gets in the way it can make you think you’re the only person good enough. This can create tension in the workplace, put a strain on your relationships and damage your career progression.

You may not even be aware you're coming across like this. But that is the problem with ego - it blinds you to the feelings of others. So next time you say something, ask yourself, are you bragging to the point of being obnoxious?

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
Ask for feedback.
Try out new ideas.

If you can learn to channel your self-confidence without letting your ego get in the way, you are setting yourself up for success!
