In this episode, I share my favorite journal prompts to get clear on what might be holding you back from self-promoting at work. You can take a couple of these prompts each day or have a mega-session going through all of them.
I'd love to hear what you learned about yourself while journaling — Come follow me on Instagram and share your experience: https://instagram.com/amandamworthington

Journal Prompts:
How do I feel about promoting myself right now?
What am I afraid will happen if I promote myself at work?
What would I do if that happened?
What's the best thing that could happen if I promote myself at work?
What would I do if that happened?
How do you want others to feel when you talk about yourself?
How do I already make people feel that way?
What's a big career goal that I have for the next quarter, year, or season?
How much harder would my goal be if I didn't tell anyone? Why?
How much easier would it be if I share my goals and progress with others? Why?
