Authentic Self-Promotion for Women – Part 1 (Self-confidence Strategies)

by | Oct 9, 2012 | Career Development

Women walk a fine line when it comes to talking up their accomplishments. It’s far too easy for us to be too modest, so no one knows how awesome we are – or too aggressive, so we get labeled the B-word (Braggart!). Research last year showed how most of the career advancement techniques we’re all taught tend to benefit men more than women – except for two! And ONE is the key – the ability to self-confidently, openly and authentically talk up your own accomplishments.

Watch this first of three part video to get a strategy you can use to learn to walk the middle, and talk with self-confidence about yourself and your accomplishments!

If this is a subject that makes you uncomfortable, lean into it! Research says that authentic self-promotion is the most important thing a woman can do to boost her own career! I hope you’ll consider attending our webinar to learn more! Women only!

I believe I have found the chink in the armor of servant-based leadership, which is that when only some people are served, everyone does not feel protected. Instead, they feel vulnerable.
