How to promote yourself.

Why self-promotion isn't self-fish!

If you often feel you’re being overlooked, underestimated, or not recognized, yet also are uncomfortable with the concept and practice of self-promotion, reframe any old belief.."

The truth is, a lot of good work falls under the radar. Often people believe they shouldn’t have to self-promote because good work will speak for itself." Promoting yourself is informing people about your skillsets. The values you retain that can benefit others. While doing this you are enabling others to determine where you fit in. Sucess requires many relationships. 

The boss can’t know everything, and facetime is limited. Keeping only your boss informed only goes so far. Many people need to know who you are and what you have to offer."

What is your persona? your persona is knowledge of you. Your daily lifestyle, how do you interact with others, and how we'll do use this information to better ourself. "Talent doesn’t equal recognition. People are busy, organizations are dispersed, and technology is changing how we work. Many high-performing individuals and groups can be overlooked with everything else that’s going on
  1. Let others know who you are
  2. Position yourself for an open conversation
  3. Attract others with your swag
  4. Don't hold back about yourself
  5. Don't be afraid of your past
  6. Express your talents
Show your qualities Expressing yourself will help you see potentials never thought about, your personality is important, it identifies who you are. Promoting yourself is not (being arrogant, or showing off, either Bragging) others would say narcissistic. It is giving back, sharing or encouraging others to know you better. 

Self-promotion is a key component to a leader’s effectiveness and long-term success. To develop strong, effective self-promotional skills, leaders need to find a balance between over-the-top, obnoxious bragging, and being overly modest – and overlooked."

These days everyone with a LinkedIn account – which means pretty much everyone – is a self-proclaimed expert, thought leader, trendsetter, or influencer.

It’s no secret that I find that sort of self-absorbed self-promotion to be self-serving, not to mention incredibly annoying and occasionally nauseating.

"There’s actually nothing wrong with self-promoting. It’s selfish people who are out to get something from others that give it a bad name. As long as you’re also benefitting the other side of the equation – whoever you’re selling yourself to – it’s all good.
