How to Promote Yourself With Confidence, Grace & Ease.

Self-promotion is a must do for successful entrepreneurs. However, depending on our background, it can be one of our biggest stumbling blocks. Maybe you grew up hearing that it's not polite to talk about yourself or to "brag." Or that girls were to be seen and not heard. Now you're all grown up and in business for yourself where you must talk about yourself, what you offer and how good you are at offering it. It's not always an easy transition.

Or maybe you were an excellent salesperson ...for someone else. Sales skills don't always transfer easily from selling someone else's dream. But when it's your own dream and the perceived rejection feels personal...it can stop you in your tracks.

Couple all of that with not being sure what to say and how to say it when you do talk about yourself and it can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Ginny Robertson will walk you through a process that can help you identify what it is that you're offering and how to talk about it. She will address the fears that surround this process and give you an opportunity to gain some good feedback.
