When you’re starting out working with your new colleagues, be yourself. Don’t put on an act. Show them you’re human and making some well-intended efforts to start off on the right foot so that all of your skills, knowledge, and expertise can be shared with increasing passion and confidence as you work together more.

Connect with people

<h3>Each morning before work ask yourself:</h3>
<ul>
<li>What do I want to find out about today?</li>
<li>How can I support my team today?</li>
<li>What strengths do I need to demonstrate today?</li>
<li>What demands will I be facing today?</li>
<li>What resources do I have available to deal with the demands?</li>
</ul>

Ask the right questions

Having applied for the job, you probably know a good amount about the business anyway, but it often helps to do some more homework.  Find out about the history, philosophy, and values that have built the company you’re now part of.

Be prepared

Really enjoy finding out everything you can about your new culture. Simply show your passion for working with your new team by finding out what it really means to be part of the team and the business.

Immerse yourself

In our eagerness to impress in a new role, it’s very common to set really unrealistic goals about how much we’re going to achieve in the first few months. Set some short term personal and work goals which will help to increase your confidence.

Focus on your goals

Joining a new team can be a daunting and nerve wracking experience for any person. It is an important transition where not only do we put pressure on ourselves to deliver to our best, we also expect superb communication with people who we're building new working relationships with.
