CAREERTIP : Overcome Intimidation to Build Confidence in the workplace

Feeling intimidated by those who appear confident, successful, or intelligent is a common human experience. However, it's crucial to remember that this feeling often stems from our internal anxieties and comparisons rather than the reality of the situation. Intimidation can hinder personal and professional growth by preventing us from seizing opportunities, expressing ourselves, and reaching our full potential. By implementing strategies to overcome intimidation and cultivate self-assurance you can overcome intimidation, build self-confidence, and navigate social interactions with greater ease and authenticity. Remember, the goal is not to be perfect but to embrace your unique strengths and engage with others in a meaningful and fulfilling way.

OPINION: How can Built Environment Professionals influence their industry? Refilwe Rapotu

July is Mandela Month in South Africa in this hardhatOPINION Candidate Structural Engineer Refilwe Rapotu reflects on the question how can Construction and Built Environment Professionals use their individual experience to make an impact in the industry, to emulate the example set for us by the late Nelson Mandela that as individuals we have the power to impact the world.

Education was very important to Nelson Mandela and contributed to the calibre of person he was, says Refilwe Rapotu. He is often quoted: “Education is THE most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

To emulate Nelson Mandela and use our individual power to make an impact in the world, Refilwe Rapotu suggests that Construction and Built Environment Professionals could set up and run an on-line career guidance seminar/platform for high school scholars and/or university students to show them how real life is in the Construction/Built Environment industry.
