Episode 104: Don't Sell Yourself, Share Yourself

Why Self Advocating Feels Uncomfortable And How To Share Ourselves Without Being “That Person”

Highlighting your accomplishments without being cocky, is possible.

Sometimes when we think we’re being humble, we’re just being quiet and this can lead to us thinking that our actions should speak for themselves. This isn’t always possible.

In episode 104, we’re discussing why it can sometimes be pretty challenging to share our accomplishments with others, how to avoid being “that person” when it comes to bragging, and why sharing yourself is a far better move than trying to sell yourself.

In Our Conversation Today We’re Exploring:

  • Where the line is when it comes to the difference between humility and self-deprecation

  • How we can avoid bragging or being “That Person” when it comes to talking about our accomplishments

  • What it means to start sharing ourselves instead of selling ourselves, and why that matters
