Promoting yourself involves walking a very fine line. Go too far to one side, and no-one will ever know what you care about, what you’re good at, or what you’ve accomplished. Go too far to the other, and you’re a terrible braggart who will soon understand why people say it’s lonely at the top.
How do you strike such a delicate balance between the two?
In this episode, we’ll be talking about the art of tastefully promoting yourself, along with:
- How to handle feeling competitive with or shunned by friends when trying to better yourself
- How to become a better speaker
Enjoy!
