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!).

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!
