The Career Confidence Ladder

Aug 26, 2025
Losing a job can feel like falling into darkness.

Here are 6 rungs to climb back toward the light.

The rejection. The silence. The spiral of self-doubt.

It doesn’t just attack your career. It attacks your confidence.

I’ve coached hundreds of professionals in that darkness.

It feels permanent, like you’ll never climb out. You can.

Confidence isn’t a light switch ⚡️

It’s a ladder 

Each rung pulls you higher:

1️⃣ I’m worthless → Nobody would hire me.

2️⃣ I’m broken → Something must be wrong with me.

3️⃣ They’re just not noticing me → I have more to offer.

4️⃣ I'm safe → all of this will work out.

5️⃣ I could help them → what do they need?

6️⃣ Possibility abounds → I create miracles because I am one. 

Climbing out of that darkness isn’t always a straight line.

Sometimes you rise a few rungs and slip back down.

That doesn’t mean you’re failing - it means you’re still climbing ⛰️

That’s the journey from rejection to opportunity.

And once you reach the top, doors open 🚪

Which rung feels most familiar to you right now?
