Good Self-Promoter, an Oxymoron? (www.nytimes.com)


This week my Shifting Careers column at the New York Times online talks about getting comfortable with self-promotion, something we all need to do these days. Read the column here.

Last week, my friend Gretchen over at the Happiness-Project, wrote about reframing. That post helped me to figure out that my biggest problem with being called a good self-promoter was the language. I know I'm good at self-promotion. Just not sure I like those words. It's a lot like how I feel about networking -- essential skill, bad image.
