While I recognize many of you may find this hard to believe, I find it excruciatingly difficult to toot my own horn. It’s one of the reasons I have a marketing team—and why I advise you to check in with those you trust about the work you’re doing. Hearing others describe you/your work can be a lovely way to gain perspective/give yourself a boost during a rough patch.
Why am I talking about this today? Well, I did a podcast a week or so ago and it went live today. Reading the copy that was written about it, I thought to myself, “Gosh, that sounds interesting. I’d give that a listen.”
Here’s how it’s described:
“You’ve got an interview for your dream job next week and you’re nervous as all get out. You want to look polished, but not phony. Relaxed, but not careless. What do you do?
Well, my guest on today’s podcast makes her living coaching high-level executives and other media personalities in exactly those types of situations. In today’s episode, Frances and I get down to brass tacks on how to put your best foot forward in work and in life. Get your pen and notebook ready. You’ll want to take notes.”
