Lim’s 10 tips to be a better version of yourself:
1. Being on time
Being on time matters, it tells others whether they can trust and rely on you. Good time management gives others insight into how you view them and how you view yourself. Being punctual or consistently on-time allows you to make an instant good impression and it can help you reach your goals faster by helping others see you as someone worth listening to.
2. Make an effort
Minimal effort will lead to minimal results. Effort refers to whatever an individual put into a task to complete and succeed to achieve the goal. Effort is something one can personally judge and giving energy all the time does not mean it will result in the desired outcomes. If you are assigned to do a task that you are unfamiliar with, make an effort to complete it.
3. Being high energy
An employee that is fully energised, proactive, focused, driven and working their tail off to deliver as much value as possible to the company and client is called as a high energy employee. Being fully energetic helps you to finish your task efficiently and faster.
4. Have a positive attitude
Positive attitude is needed in any circumstances. It avoid you from negative thoughts. If you encountered any problem or conflict at work, try to remain positive and solve it nicely.
5. Being passionate
Some successful entrepreneurs manage to climb the career ladder quickly is because they are being passionate about their work. Being passionate helps to drive your mind and set your goal. If you are not passionate over your job, you will stay at the same place and slowly you will not have the desire to move forward.
6. Using good body language
Good body language helps you to network with other people. Facial expression like smiling, nodding can get someone to come closer. Postures like slumping, make people go away from you. Have a positive posture while talking to your colleagues or clients.
7. Being coachable
Being coachable means you are open to listening to feedback, able to receive constructive criticism without taking it personally. Having this good personality can help you to be a good employee at work. As someone who is coachable, you will not only respond well when given feedback but instead, you ask for feedback.
8. Doing a little extra
Doing a little extra will not hurt you, but always remember your limit. It’s not wrong to be moderate and put as much effort as you can, but sometimes, putting extra effort helps you to build your reputation.
9. Being prepared
Always remember to be prepared If your boss wants you to do a presentation, be prepared. Do not do things last minute as you will tend to forget over little things and do mistake. Being prepare avoid you from committing silly mistakes. If your boss asked you to do something, always follow the deadline.
10. Having a strong work ethic
An employee with a strong work ethic will ack professionally. They honour their employment agreement and adhere to the working hours, will not break any rules and work efficiently. A person with a strong work ethic is reliable, dedicated and will impress employees.
