I spent years assuming my work spoke for itself. Unfortunately, it didn’t.
Now it’s my mission to help humble professionals find their voice, build their authority and create impact at work. For themselves and their companies.

Cringe-Free Self-Promotion: How humble professionals build a reputation for results
In a reputation economy, being visible is critical to career success. But many professionals find self-promotion distasteful and off-putting. Or when they do grit their teeth to talk about their work, they come off as inauthentic.
In this presentation, attendees identify the social influences that keep them silent at work and apply psychology insights to overcome those influences. They also learn a simple formula to describe their work accomplishments without feeling arrogant or insincere.
Attendees will leave this presentation with skills to influence clients, colleagues and professional contacts - no bragging or BS required.

Breaking Through the Mid-Career Stall: The modest manager's guide to being promotable

In this session participants learn:
• The surprising reason certain people stall in their careers while others accelerate. (The reason is not technical expertise or soft skills.)
• The difference between being great at your job and being valuable to the business.
• How to use a technique called The Headline Method™ to conduct 1:1 manager meetings and executive presentations that position you for key projects and promotions.
After this workshop, participants will have simple communication templates they can use in meetings and performance reviews to advance at work without burning out.
