Ep 78 – Self-Promotion: Common Mistakes That Stop You From Being Confident with Self-Promotion

Do you hate the idea of self promotion? And the idea of selling your skills and talents? Your fear, of being judged as egocentric, is unlikely to ever materialise. Here’s how to self-promote with confidence!

 

 

Do you worry about coming across as ‘arrogant’ when engaging in self promotion?

Is your fear of being negatively judged stopping you from getting ahead professionally?

Plenty of people self-promote at work without compromising themselves, their values or authenticity…

And in this episode, I’m sharing how.

 

Here’s something interesting I said in this ep about self-promotion! 🙂

“The fear of coming across as ‘arrogant’ stems from an innate human desire to fit in, to be accepted, to belong to the wider group and the belief that arrogant behaviour will threaten those deep values. which causes many people to avoid self-promotion all together.”  (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)
