Build confidence with early wins.

Do you remember the last time you started with a new organization, picked up a new client, or were promoted to a new role?
You might have felt the urge to prove you were up to the task at hand, and you probably felt some pressure from your boss or client to provide quick and noticeable results.
Many of us have faced situations like this at some stage of our careers, and there's no doubt that it can be a nerve-wracking experience. This is why securing a "quick win" is so useful for building your own self-confidence, and for boosting your boss's confidence in you. We can all benefit from securing these early achievements when we step into a new situation.
In this article, we'll examine what quick wins are, we'll look at when they're most beneficial, and we'll think about how to achieve one when you really need it.
