I suppose Kamala Harris lost because just didn’t talk about her accomplishments.

Just actually believe you’re better than everyone else and it comes easy

Don’t brag about yourself. Nobody likes that. You want to be confident and passionate about yourself and your work.

It’s easy to brag about yourself. It’s much harder to highlight your worth to someone and not come out as narcissistic pos. Assuming the context here is interviews or getting visibility for work you are doing

For getting visibility, build relationships with key players and stakeholders. Have cadence with them to make them aware of what you are doing. Have your backers do the same for you with influential leaders. For interviews, create a pitch and run it by others. I would actually record it and hear it and be a judge yourself.

It’s a skill , and recognize it’s a skill.

I would recommend finding a second year hire and or new manager at Deloitte and just mimicking their behavior but I kid, I kid 😂😂😂😂

Step 1, don't brag about yourself - there's a big difference between backing yourself and having confidence vs bragging.

I made my team deliver presentations on something they're good at to get them practising this, and had a (figurative) 'swear jar' for any time they undermined themselves - loser was responsible for getting the sweet treats in for next team meeting. Like all things, it's just about practise!

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?
