3 Tips to Promote Yourself with Ease
06/16/21 • 20 min
What does self-promotion mean in the first place? It’s simply sharing who you are and what you do so the world knows you exist!
Listen in as Karen walks through these three tips on how to promote yourself with ease.
- Ask yourself why it’s so hard and then come up with a message to counteract that. 80%+ is mindset, so tackle your fears and self-doubt first!
- Ask yourself: how does what I do serve the world? How can you help others? If we recognize our gifts and talents help others, then we may be more willing to share them!
- Use these two sentence prompts to help you with an exact template to talk about who you are and what you do so it can be EASY!

- How confidence is tied to moving your body and trusting what you need

- What was unanimously voted by her clients as their favorite unit in her mentorship course that surprised her
