Remote work and self-promotion

We have all noticed that one person that likes to promote themselves and appears to be really obnoxious. But in the remote workplace, we're losing the tools we normally use for demonstrating our capabilities. Boasting to your boss and colleagues may be necessary to get recognition.

Voicing your own achievements can feel uncomfortable, but not doing it can have a negative impact on your career.

How to brag about yourself

  • Proud: Acknowledge what you've done and be proud of it.
  • Loud: This is about repetition and consistency.

Self-promotion: Don't insult yourself

Your self-promotion should be net positive. Don't verbally undercut yourself.

Don't add things like 'shameless plug' or 'shameless self-promotion' on your brag posts. That is insulting yourself. Instead, add, 'I'd be grateful if you read or share this.'
