Self-Promotion: Your Way

When you are one of the under-represented groups at work, it is harder to self-promote; to have your story and accomplishments heard. You can and should self-promote authentically and effectively, to make sure your story is heard.

(And yes — it is possible! You can do it without bragging, exaggerating or putting others down. )

This 90-minute Online Skill Builder will be led by a professional WinSETT facilitator and include discussion, self-reflection, and experience-based learning. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore the importance of effective self-promotion for performance for your SETT career
  • Practice a simple framework for self-promotion pitches
  • Identify how gender and virtual environment impact self-promotion
  • Explore self-promotion strategies in community with like-minded peers and allies

 This Skill Builder is offered as a part of WinSETT’s Insider Essentials Series or can be purchased individually.
