Overcoming the Fear of Self-Promotion: Building Your Brand Without Feeling Salesy
Manage episode 490311655 series 3339120
Struggling to talk about your work without feeling "salesy"? In this episode, we tackle the fear of self-promotion—especially for women who want to be seen as experts without sounding like they’re bragging. From reframing what it means to take up space to sharing your story in a way that feels authentic, this conversation offers a much-needed reframe on confidence, visibility, and value. Whether you're in corporate, entrepreneurship, or simply advocating for yourself, you’ll walk away with mindset shifts and actionable tools to step out of hiding and speak up about your gifts.
Today we cover:
- Why so many women shrink back from self-promotion—and how to change that
- Ways to talk about your work without sounding boastful or cringey
- How to use storytelling and case studies to share value (not just accomplishments)
- The mindset shift from “promotion” to service
- Practical ways to build confidence through safe, consistent practice
