In this episode, I welcome back my good friend Traci Duez to discuss the often uncomfortable topic of self-promotion. We explore why many people struggle with “tooting their own horn” and how to shift our mindset around sharing our accomplishments. Traci brings her unique perspective on humility versus modesty and shares practical strategies for tracking and communicating our achievements authentically.

- The Discomfort with Self-Promotion: Explores common reasons people feel uncomfortable promoting themselves, including fear of rejection, cultural norms, and lack of confidence.

I’ve recently been enjoying more focus and being more productive without increased anxiety and hurry, all due to Magic Mind.
Magic Mind is the world’s first productivity drink. It is NOT an energy drink.
After 10 to 30 minutes of taking this little 2-ounce drink, I start getting into the flow zone and stop thinking about procrastination. It’s incredible how it helps me to just calmly start getting things done.
I really recommend you give it a try.
