BRAG, a book by Peggy Klaus, teaches techniques and tools to brag about yourself in a variety of situations. She gives examples of her clients real life bragging clips, which I found helpful - and didn't actually sound like bragging once I read them in words. Get the tools, write out your stories, and practice them with colleagues or friends, and it'll make the entire process more comfortable.
You should self-promote your hardwork, you know be your own cheerleader and stuff. It can be just simple as acknowledging that your hardwork is getting paid off and all the growth opportunities you have received in current company. Or just the importance of recognition related to what you received.
I struggle with this too! I haven’t found the right thing to completely get me to do it but I’ve found just start with one thing and as more good things happen, share those too. Certification, finishing training, opportunities to travel and network are all great experience you can share when comfortable.
First, congratulations! You worked hard and earned the awards!
As previous posters said, it’s all in how you phrase it. Don’t fake humble, be honest, “so excited to share…” or “exciting news…” keep it brief.
Congratulations on your recognition AND your self awareness! While highlighting your successes will be important in the context of self-reviews, future promotions, and future internal/external job pursuits, I don't think you need to boast on social media at all. The encouragement you're getting to post about it is for the company's benefit, not yours. That said, if you want to appease your team, you can take the advice others have shared, but personally, I think your dread is a sign that boasting is just not authentic for you and that's ok.
Pretend you’re writing about someone else that you care for. Imagine it’s that person and the discomfort will dissipate.
Try to include some details that make your post not only about your personal recognition. If you won an award, don’t just say you’re thrilled you won an award. Was it for a project you really enjoyed? Talk about that experience. Was it a team effort where you can call out your co-collaborators? If you finished a class or earned a certificate, can you share something you learned?
