A member of the senior leadership (my manager's manager) arranged a meeting with me this week. It was a casual kind of catch-up meeting, but towards the end they said quite positive things about me (that they had heard really good things about my work, I'm an excellent [job title], etc. They then followed this by saying I need to have more confidence in myself. I'm very junior (it's a graduate-level job), and quite quiet/reserved.
I'm not sure how to interpret it, whether to take it as a thinly veiled 'warning' as such to start being more loud/speaking up more and to integrate more with the team (I'm hybrid sometimes I do feel like I don't belong/fit in when I go to the office), or whether it was just someone wanting to offer some advice/mentorship?
AIBU to be confused and ask your thoughts on how you would interpret this kind of meeting?
