How I did it: I decided to do it and in a business coaching session I asked my business coach to help me.

I started writing down things I know that I'm good at and the things I've recently become more aware of.

Like I'm a good communicator for example, which I didn't used to have confidence in.

We wrote the list and I knew that it was an accurate opinion which made me feel great!

Lessons & tips: Write down regularly what skillls you have, write down and celebrate your successes, large or small!  Focus more and more with what you did right, you'll still be aware of what you'd like to improve but you'll be in a much better positive position to change what you need to when you feel good about yourself and value the qualities that you do have :)

Resources: I talked this through with my business coach and he gave me his objective opinion of what the skills and I do have which gave me even more confidence in myself.  Lack of skills is not what is holding me back, and now I'm developing the confidence to match the skills that I have there'll be no stopping me :)
