About this episode

Introducing the latest episode of Personal Branding With Seema, where we delve deep into a topic that often goes unspoken: the fear of talking about your skills and achievements.

Have you ever felt that sinking feeling in your stomach when it comes time to discuss your accomplishments? Do you downplay your successes to avoid coming across as arrogant or conceited? If so, you're not alone.

In this episode, we explore the reasons why many of us are hesitant to speak up about our skills and achievements. We discuss how societal norms, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome can all contribute to this fear.

Whether you're just starting your career or you're a seasoned professional trying to build an online presence, this episode is a must-listen. Join me as we unpack the fear of talking about your skills and achievements, and provide actionable steps for building confidence and advocating for yourself in the online space.
