We understand. Self-promotion sometimes feels risky and unnatural.
However, self-promotion becomes easier and effortless when viewed from a Strengths PeerSpective. When you look through your Strength-lens you will recognize situations where you feel energized and perform well. You gain the vocabulary to self-promote in a natural and compelling way.
Begin to notice situations when you are using your Strengths and share them with your friends, family, colleagues, and us. You’ll get practice self-promoting, and it will become more and more intuitive.
That’s our PeerSpective,
Stephanie and Louann
