Professional Skills Gym: Working on Self-Promotion

If we don't take ownership of our own professional narrative, at best we are leaving it hands of others or leaving it to fade away in silence. Or worse, our work is presumed to be the work of others, and we miss out on opportunities for growth. 

After attending this session, participants will be able to:

• List the ways self-promotion is beneficial

• Explain the role of unconscious bias plays in who talks about achievements, and how it is received

• Discuss the backlash faced by underrepresented groups when engaging in self-promotion

• Practice the work of self-promotion
