Quiet Power: Navigating Self-Promotion for Introverts in the Workplace

Oh hi! Welcome to yapping for introverts, or how to promote yourself at work when you would literally rather do anything else. Like it or not, visible is valuable in corporate America. So here are three introvert approved ways to start yapping about your value. First, do a little bit of clout chasing. Form genuine relationships with your co workers who are just naturally more visible at your company. Humble brag to them in informal conversations and they can help spread the word about how much you do. Second, share your wins every week in writing. Send your manager or the team that you’re working on a bulleted list of everything you’ve accomplished that week and what you’ll be tackling next week. And third, create visible, high impact resources that the entire company can use, or at least more than just your team. If you create a guide, a resource, or a handbook that lots of other people in the company can benefit from, you subtly but effectively showcase your value without outright self promotion.
