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?
