1. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR MISTAKE
Try to be responsible for your actions; know where you went wrong and the mistakes you are making at work. The first step to correcting your mistake is to acknowledge you made a mistake.
2. LEARN TO TAKE CORRECTIONS
Don’t feel too big to mend your ways and take corrections. Listen to your boss and your colleagues and take corrections where need be.
3. LEARN FROM EACH MISTAKE
Don’t beat yourself up because of a mistake you made, you’d only lower your morale. Instead try to learn from each mistake; let every mistake be a lesson. Look back at each mistake you make and try to make yourself better from it.
4. EARN BACK THE TRUST
When you make mistakes, people lose trust in you; they’d see you as incompetent and would avoid designating important tasks to you. After you’ve learnt from each mistake, try to rebuild the trust little by little; don’t be in a hurry to impress anyone, just try to be better with each day.
5. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Try to have a little more faith in yourself; overcoming those mistakes start from your mind. Forget what people are saying about you; just believe in yourself.
6. BE CALM
Learn to be calm; the calmer you are, the better you’d work, no matter the pressure. Remain calm and you’ll feel less pressure.
