Promoting yourself: the rules of success

Contrary to popular belief, your work does not always speak for itself

A diligent and hard-working project manager at a global bank was known for meeting deadlines. A functional expert and a team player, she never hesitated to work beyond the designated hours. Self-evasive and reticent, she strongly believed that her work would speak louder than words to get her the recognition she deserved. Much to her dismay, however, she was passed over for a promotion that year.

Here are a few strategies to generate more visibility:

·         Prepare your story

·         Redefine self-promotion

·         Clothe it in anecdotes

·         Impactful introduction

·         Engage beyond your core work

·         Communicate with your manager

·         Engage on social media

·         Reverse promotion
