Confidence and self-promotion are key to women becoming influential leaders. When I started my career 20 years ago, I wasn’t a confident employee. I was hardworking, sincere, and passionate, but when it came to speaking up or expressing my opinions, I would often feel overwhelmed with doubt—questioning if I was even right or worrying about what others might think of me. At the time, I also saw self-promotion as something desperate or boastful. It wasn’t until later in my career that I truly learned the importance of both confidence and self-promotion, realizing they are essential for growth and leadership.

Women often hesitate to self-promote, fearing it may come across as boastful, but in reality, it’s essential to showcase your successes and highlight your unique contributions. For example, if you led a successful AI product launch, don’t wait for others to recognize your efforts—share the outcome and the impact you’ve made. Executive coaching often encourages women to step into their power by practicing self-promotion in a way that feels authentic, like sharing your accomplishments in meetings, adding measurable results to your resume, or even creating a personal brand on LinkedIn. Confidence in your value and the ability to articulate it will help you stand out and inspire others to do the same.
