Burnout, stress and overwhelm are all well-known symptoms of staying in a job that makes you unhappy.

But what about what it does to your confidence?

If you are in a negative work environment, it’s a daily battle to fend off all the toxic energy.

You start to question your abilities and the way you are acting at work. You berate yourself for everything you are doing wrong.

Do any of these sound familiar?

• You’ve lost focus
• You keep forgetting things
• You’re making mistakes
• It’s really hard to motivate your team
• You’ve lost the enthusiasm for the business strategy
• You are questioning whether you are really the right person for the job
• Everyone else seems to be coping except you
• You are snapping at colleagues

Your confidence slowly diminishes and seeps into other areas of your life.

Before you know it, you are a crumpled, soggy tissue of a person.
