    69: Self-Promo: Journaling

    In this episode, I share my favorite journal prompts to get clear on what might be holding you back from self-promoting at work. You can take a couple of these prompts each day or have a mega-session going through all of them.

    Journal Prompts:

    How do I feel about promoting myself right now?

    What am I afraid will happen if I promote myself at work?

    What would I do if that happened?

    What's the best thing that could happen if I promote myself at work?

    What would I do if that happened?

    How do you want others to feel when you talk about yourself?

    How do I already make people feel that way?

    What's a big career goal that I have for the next quarter, year, or season?

    How much harder would my goal be if I didn't tell anyone? Why?

    How much easier would it be if I share my goals and progress with others? Why?
