“Being proud of your work and showing some self-esteem and confidence will get you a long way in life, but at the office, sometimes it’s the ability to forgive yourself and learn from your mistakes that’s more valuable than pure ego. Self-compassion can help you learn and grow, which is key to succeeding in any career.”
