An Introverts Guide to Self-Promotion
In this episode, I talk about what it's like to promote ourselves as introverts, the challenges, why we get stuck, how to overcome our fears and take steps to promoting ourselves in a way that's authentic to us.
Self-Promotion is the ability for us to share who we are in front of others, to be seen and heard, to speak up in front of a group of people, to share ourselves on social media, to ask for what we want, to promote our own personal brands and businesses.
For many introverts promoting ourselves becomes a challenge, because it feels 'unnatural' and goes against our 'nature'. There are countless of men out there who are not living up to their potential and not sharing their gifts with the world right now, because of fear, discomfort and a lack of confidence. Also, because they believe they can't, due to being 'too introverted'.
This is something I have struggled with my entire life being highly introverted by nature, but something I've learned to overcome and continue to push through so I can share my gifts into the world, run a business and achieve my goals in life.
