What is a “wall of wins”? –
Introduction 👋
A “wall of wins” is a way for you to celebrate your successes.
They’re really simple to make – just write down all of your wins! (achievements)
It comes from the idea of filling up a wall with sticky notes of cool things you’ve done. 📒
Why a “Wall of Wins” is useful 🧱
A “wall of wins” can help you to:
- Talk about your successes in job interviews or at work
- Cheer up when you’re having a bad day
- Motivate yourself when you’re feeling low
- Feel confident
- Remember the cool things you’ve done
What to write about 📃✍️
Big or small, write down as many wins as you can. 🏆
You could write about things like:
- Challenges you’ve overcome
- Things that have made you happy
- Times where you’ve improved something
- Nice things that people have said to you
- Things that you’ve done to help other people
- Certificates/qualifications you’ve gained
- Times where you’ve felt really confident and proud
- Work that you’ve done
- Goals that you’ve achieved
Work wins 💼
In particular, make sure to write down your work-related wins!
They can be difficult to remember when you need them.
You can use your work-related wins for things like:
- Talking about why you’re amazing in job interviews
- Putting together a case for getting a pay rise (How to ask for a pay rise 💸)
- Motivating yourself on a bad work day
- Showing off your performance in performance reviews and meetings with your manager
- Helping yourself to feel confident at work
You could write about times when you’ve:
- Organized something
- Identified a problem and fixed it
- Made customers really happy
- Saved money for your employer
- Saved time for your employer
- Come up with a new idea
- Worked on an interesting project
- Received an award
- Been complimented by your colleagues
- Helped your employer make money
If possible, try and include numbers in your wins to make them more impressive!
For example:
“I looked after 500 customers across 3 different locations“
sounds much more impressive than
“I looked after lots of customers”.
Think about how your wins helped your employer.
Make sure to write them down!
A really impressive example of a “win” would be –
“I looked after 500 customers across 3 different locations. Taking on additional responsibility for 2 more locations helped my employer to be more flexible with where their staff work. This saved them time and approximately £5,000, because they didn’t have to hire and train other people to work there .”
Conclusion 👍
So that’s it!
A “wall of wins” is a way for you to celebrate your successes.
They can help you to:
- Talk about your successes in job interviews or at work
- Cheer up when you’re having a bad day
- Motivate yourself when you’re feeling low
- Feel confident
- Remember the cool things you’ve done
