Here’s the truth: Your worth isn’t defined by someone else’s acknowledgment. You don’t need anyone’s permission to feel valuable – because you already are.
As an assistant, your contributions are often behind the scenes, but that doesn’t make them any less impactful. Waiting for others to recognise your worth only holds you back. So stop. Own your value. Take up space.
When someone compliments you, don’t brush it off. When you achieve something, celebrate it. Stop downplaying the incredible things you do – from solving impossible problems to keeping entire teams afloat. Those wins? They’re yours. Recognise them.
True confidence comes from within, not from the approval of others. Focus on growing your skills, mastering your craft, and being excellent at what you do – not because someone else will notice, but because it makes you unstoppable.
Set boundaries. Your time is precious, and not every task deserves your energy. Learn to say no when it matters, because respecting yourself teaches others to do the same.
You are not just a supporter; you’re an expert in your own right. Step into that power. Walk with confidence. You don’t need permission to shine – you already have everything you need to succeed. Believe in yourself, because the work you do is exceptional and so are you!
