“Graceful Self-Promotion: An Essential Skill You Can Learn!”
Presenter: Erin L. Guidice, MD
Many of us (especially women!) are afraid to come across like we are “bragging” about ourselves. We may find it easier to celebrate and promote the accomplishments of others than to “toot our own horn.” But, if we don’t share our accomplishments with others, we hold ourselves back from being our best selves (and from getting that next great promotion).
In this workshop, attendees will:
- Learn to speak with confidence about your accomplishments that show your capabilities and impact.
- Develop strategies to demonstrate your leadership “presence” in planned and spontaneous interactions.
- Hone your professional communications skills.
