You do a very challenging job. One that requires a rare blend of influential people skills and deep technical knowledge for it to be done well. The impact you have on the business you support and on the lives of those you support is significant. It’s hard, but no doubt rewarding work. However the stresses and strains do take their toll. You probably put more time and effort into your work than you should… …especially when faced with some of those trickier issues you have to deal with.

The ones you never see coming and that require your full attention, creativity and mental energy to solve. You inevitably find a way, but do you ever struggle with imposter syndrome? The feeling that at some point someone is going to “find you out”? It’s extremely common, though rarely publicly admitted in the HR profession.

If you’re not a lawyer and you find yourself dealing with the law, there’s the potential for that nagging doubt that you might just be missing something. It can create uncertainty and undermine your confidence. That never feels good. If you’re not careful, it can fuel any insecurities you have. Especially if you feel you’re over your head with something and outside your comfort zone.

What’s the answer?

Well working harder isn’t an option if you want to stay healthy and live a balanced life. Working smarter, however, is. Archimedes once said “give me a lever big enough, and I can move the world”.  What's a powerful lever to add to your existing toolbox of skills, knowledge and experience that WILL help you work smarter, work faster and save you time…

…an addition that will raise your credibility, give you greater gravitas and authority, increase the professional respect for you AND significantly boost your confidence…?
