31: Becoming more comfortable at self-promoting yourself

from Leading Yourself · host Carolina de Arriba

Do you struggle with self-promoting yourself? Does it feel uncomfortable and salesy?  This is more common among women (without trying to generalize here); but there are many studies have been conducted that support this idea that women are less inclined to self-promote themselves. Some studies even state that this is one of the reasons that fuels the gender gap. Today I don't want to talk about the gender gap, but I want to acknowledge that self-promotion is an essential tool for career advancement, whether in job or performance review, or just networking; and I want to share with you some ideas on what you can do and where you can start to feel more comfortable self-promoting yourself. On this blog post you'll find a summary of the episode and links to the articles I referenced: https://www.leadingyourselfpodcast.com/post/how-to-be-better-at-self-promoting-yourself
