Power Up Your Workplace Influence: 3 Proven Methods to Boost Credibility

Here are 3 actionable tips that you can apply today to boost your credibility and influence at work especially if you’re starting out with little to no work experience. These are tips that I use in my job as a marketing manager at Microsoft.

Own Up to Mistakes: Credible individuals take responsibility for errors and uncertainties. For instance, I once missed a project deadline due to a forgotten vendor quote request. By admitting my mistake, I gained my colleagues' respect.

Share Knowledge: Credibility grows when your insights benefit the wider organization. After a campaign I led resulted in 30% sales growth, I shared key takeaways with fellow marketers across the org. Credible people generously share to aid others' success.

Show Initiative: Solving unrequested problems showcases credibility. For instance, I noticed confusing strategy plans for senior leadership. I proactively streamlined content, updated materials, and created a consistent template. Credible individuals take charge and solve challenges.
