151 - How To Talk About Myself Without Sounding Too Braggy

Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson: communication coaching for humble leaders

How do you showcase your awesomeness without sounding like an arrogant twat? Well, that’s exactly what I’m answering in today’s episode!

Most humble leaders I know DON’T like talking about themselves, and they hope ‘their work will speak for itself’.

However, we often don’t have time for our work to speak for itself, and we need to be a little more overt in letting people know how we can contribute.

In this episode I share a powerful strategy for talking about yourself without sounding like a w*nker.

Listen in to hear:

• Why your self-promotion is actually a service to others

• How you can use factual stories from your life to demonstrate your fabulousness

• How dropping ‘brag bag’ stories into your conversations will showcase your experience and expertise in a way that doesn’t feel uncomfortable

• How you can find your brag bag stories
