Claiming Your Worth At Work

Last Updated On: 1 October 2025

Looking over the edge, terrified of heights, with a group of school-leavers looking on.

A range of looks on their faces, from delight to concern, I had no choice but to go for it.

Once I was finally on the downward climb it was so easy where reaching the bottom was met with an inflated joy at finding terra-firma.

But isn’t that what those outward-bound courses were all about?

I didn’t need to know what to do or what the outcome would be, the test was learning to trust in the process.

Showing Up For Yourself

From that moment on I began to trust myself more.

When I got back to the Training Centre I organised a meeting to review my pay, because they’d openly held me back from earning the same as other trainers, for a range of spurious reasons – without closure.

At this point I was ready to negotiate a better rate, the standard rate.

Up until then I’d showed my worth every day – in return for what – kind words?

I was going to change it.

I later realised that ‘they’d’ been waiting for me to assert my value by finding the confidence to ask for it.

Who knew?

No-one Can Do It For You

It taught me a great lesson, in terms of how I’d put up with less than, because I really hadn’t owned my worth.

I hadn’t’ worn it.

The reasons for that would take many more decades to discover.

But in that moment, I’d finally started to get the memo.

Moments That Matter

Now you’ve probably never found yourself at the top of a long drop with a bunch of adolescents willing you to make it down – or not 🙂 but showing up is what really matters.

We do this by…

Being. In. The. Moment.

In the end it’s not for them – it’s for you.

Which moves you into a new revitalised sense of yourself.

And especially welcome when you didn’t receive adequate encouragement as a child.

Or the quality of encouragement you deserved – that framed as being all about pleasing others – not yourself.

I can help you find and break with that inner theme that’s been running you for what seems like your entire life.
