This webinar previews concepts from our half-day workshop on Embracing Personal Advocacy and Self-Promotion. The full course goes further into identifying the linguistic habits that quietly undermine your communication, the connection between growth mindset and outer change, and a framework for crafting a concise, powerful personal narrative you can use to communicate your value with confidence.

About this webinar

There is a myriad of reasons why many of us struggle with openly sharing our accomplishments. But the research is clear: self-promotion is a powerful skill set that leads to career advancement and greater opportunities — and the people who do it well aren’t louder or more confident by nature. They’ve learned a small set of communication moves the rest of us never picked up.

In this webinar, Christa Kirby walks through the common stumbling blocks people experience when attempting to communicate their unique value at work. We’ll explore the linguistic habits that quietly undermine your impact, the thinking traps that keep you small, and the practical work of setting clear limits and boundaries — including how to proactively manage expectations and say “no.” You’ll walk away with a self-promotion skills checklist you can put to use immediately.

What you’ll learn

Qualifiers and apologizers — the linguistic limitations that quietly weaken your communication, and how to spot them in your own speech and writing.

Identifying and dismantling thinking traps — the internal narratives that keep you from advocating for yourself, and concrete ways to interrupt them.

Setting healthy boundaries — how to proactively manage expectations, set clear limits, and say “no” without damaging the relationship.

Knowing and communicating your value — how to identify what makes your contribution distinct and articulate it in ways that land with the people who need to hear it.

A self-promotion skills checklist — a practical takeaway you can apply right away in your next one-on-one, performance review, or visibility opportunity.

From hesitation to confidence — the mindset shift that turns self-promotion from something that feels uncomfortable into something that feels like honest communication.
