I used to interact with my clients confidently and fluently. Recently I took a break from work for some time. After that, I found myself not confident enough while talking to clients and even in internal meetings. I wonder what could be the reason. I look forward to your opinions and suggestions to regain my confidence. I appreciate any help you can provide.

Dear Divya,
It happens with some people who take a long break from work; when they get back to work, they feel that they have lost confidence, but in reality, it's the lack of practice. So don't worry, just think positive, be more focused on your work, try to speak in English as much as possible even with your friends and family, and soon you will see that you have gained the same fluency and confidence.

Hello, first of all, congratulations to you for your great hunger for success. I want to tell you one fantastic technique of mind power. You just sit peacefully and imagine those moments and scenes when you used to talk confidently. As per neuroscience, when you suspect something vividly, then you develop those habits within you. All great sportsperson and athletes follow the same system. Just try to recollect those golden moments of confidence and relive them. Feel those emotions again as if it is happening right now.
At the same time, start reading and writing the content you usually speak in job or business.
I am sure it will help you a lot.
Feel free to connect for further help
God bless you!

Time off from work of any length can shake your faith in your capability. It could deal a blow to your confidence. Various factors feed into this loss of enthusiasm.  

How to get your groove back:

1. Keep your LinkedIn profile up to date, take time off to stay updated on the latest industry developments.
2. Connecting with your former colleagues can open new doors, create new opportunities.
3. You can also consider making an elevator pitch for professional and personal encounters. Preparation will help you calm nerves, and you will be confident to speak to the other person and any situation.
4. You can consider a coach to enhance your confidence ( I have helped many of them bounce back on track).

When Allyson Felix was pregnant, Nike offered 70% less on her contract and told her, "Know your place and just run". She quit working with Nike and started her brand of running shoes, Saysh, with a slogan, " I know my place." 

She returned from Tokyo Olympics with 11 medals, and she became the most decorated American track and field medalist.

Take time to ponder your worth. Learn new skills, take chances, make mistakes ( That's how you grow).

Remember your worth. Confidence and self-belief are your best.

I wish you the best for everything. :)

Hey Divya,

You are in a professional environment when you are at work. If the language of communication is English, you tend to use it nine hours a day and five days a week. You pick up the terminology of the workplace and the workplace and enhance your vocabulary unknowingly. This daily practice keeps you on par with the language and develops it further.

When you were on a break, you had a different atmosphere compared to the work environment, and you lost touch and confidence you had before.

My suggestion: Do not worry; you will get back to your way of speaking fluently when you get into the grind again. By the time do not forget to read, listen or to watch English programmes.

Thanks!

Hi Divya,
The break has disturbed your confidence level. You are worried that there's a break in your career and wonder whether you will perform the way you used to before going on vacation.
All you need to do is brush up your content and practice a couple of times in front of a mirror.
You will be good to go a start afresh confidently.
