Episode Synopsis

Cindy Esliger tackles the topic of self promotion in this episode. It’s tempting to just hope that our great work will speak for itself, but in reality nobody will realize our accomplishments unless we promote them ourselves. The art of self promotion is a balance between ego and recognition and Cindy helps us navigate that line.   Being able to speak up to address our own accomplishments is part of confidence projection and people prefer to work with someone who isn’t afraid to have a voice. This can be done without coming across as an egotistical jerk. Cindy explains how self promotion isn’t about bragging so much as about highlighting our accomplishments, networking, and demonstrating how our achievements benefit others and the company at large. Cindy shares some practical strategies for self promotion: start small, practice talking about accomplishments with a friend, get comfortable sharing wins. She demonstrates the differences between confidence in showcasing our own value and being self obsessed. Imposter syndrome can also lead us to holding back on talking up our achievements. But Cindy has advice on how to reframe our hesitation around sharing our successes so that we can benefit from promoting ourselves to the betterment of our careers. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Convincing Yourself of Your ValueAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
