How to Speak Confidently About Your Achievements

Can you speak confidently about your achievements? Or do you downplay your achievements in an attempt to appear humble or to not make the other person feel inadequate?

Many people downplay their achievements. Some are hindered by self-doubt, the desire to be humble or are fearful of bragging.

Whatever the reason, downplaying your achievements can have detrimental effects on your professional reputation and career progression.

Because when you downplay your achievements, people don’t know the value you bring. They don’t know you’re the competent, capable professional that you are.

And this often results in you being overlooked for high-level work, prestigious client opportunities, or promotions.

And guess what! Those opportunities are usually awarded to those people who can speak confidently about their achievements.

Those people who don’t hold back.

Those people who know how to sell themselves, promote their worth and grow their reputation at work.

You can learn how to do this too.

Speaking confidently about your achievements doesn’t have to be done in a salesy or overly self-promotional way. It can be done with class and charisma.

In the video below, I delve into four tips that will help you speak more about your achievements in a way that is confident, but not bragging.
