    178. How To Stop Discrediting Yourself At Work

    Do you downplay your achievements, deflect praise, or constantly second-guess yourself at work? You might be discrediting yourself - a subtle habit that can quietly erode your credibility, confidence, and career growth. In this episode, we dive into what self-discrediting really looks like, why it happens, and how to stop undermining yourself without performing confidence or inflating your ego. You’ll hear a real client story of someone who spent years habitually downplaying her achievements - and the powerful realisations she had once she started showing up differently. Learn how self-discrediting shows up in daily work life, including negative self-talk, over-apologising, tentative language, and rejecting praise. Discover why these behaviours often stem from fear, imposter syndrome, and social conditioning - and the cost they have on your professional reputation. We’ll also cover practical strategies to replace self-minimising habits with grounded, confident actions. Stand behind your work, accept recognition without deflecting, and reclaim your authority, without apology. Stop making yourself invisible. Listen now to start building real self-trust at work.
