My spirits are a bit low but I need to make some sales, and that's hard to do when my charisma is basically zero. Any advice on how to keep a stiff upper lip when you feel like you're going nowhere in your career?

Take stock of if you really like what you do. Do you feel accomplished when you are at work, do you drag yourself into work are you happy when at work if not it's time to change figure out what you like what make you happy, and then try to find a job relating to those things.

First, make sure you're staying positive and hopeful in your personal life. That will help carry over into your work life, no matter how down you might be feeling. Second, try to take some time for yourself to recharge. Get out in nature, read a good book, or just relax with friends. Finally, focus on the good things you've accomplished, no matter how small they may seem. Remind yourself that you are capable and competent, and that will help give you the boost you need to keep going.

You might find it helpful to remember that most successful people have had their share of lows. Keep your focus on your goals, and don't get discouraged. Stay positive and keep working hard, and eventually you'll break through.

Some people recommend visualization techniques- picturing yourself succeeding in your goal, even if you don't feel like it in the moment. Other people find that positive self-talk helps- telling yourself that you can do it repeatedly until you start to believe it. And some people find that just keeping their head down and focusing on the work helps them to get through these tough times.

The best way to stay motivated when you're feeling down is to set small goals and celebrate your accomplishments. Even if your career isn't going as well as you'd like, focus on the positive things you've done and the progress you've made.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
