Authentic Self-Promotion: Ditch the Cringe, Own Your Value, Create Opportunities
Women in tech walk a fraught and narrow tightrope of self-promotion. You've heard it all before -- on one side, you have your well-meaning mentors and advice columns cautioning you not to be too aggressive. On the other side, you have the research that shows your work won't speak for itself and you have to self-advocate.
As a result, talking about your results feels clunky, and perhaps you default to staying quiet, doing great work and hoping that your work does speak for itself. In this session, coach Cydnee DeToy will teach you how to own your value, sharing the proven framework and simple strategies that she's used with over 100 clients.
By the end of 60 minutes, you'll have your exact words you need to share your value and be ready to do it in a way that feels confident and 100% authentic.
Target Audience:
This session is for women in tech who are high performers but feel stuck when it comes to talking about their own impact. You might be:
Someone who's been told to "speak up more"—but not too much.
Someone who consistently delivers results, yet struggles to get the recognition or visibility you deserve.
Someone who’s tired of walking the fine line between being “too quiet” or “too much,” and just wants to feel real and confident when self-advocating.
If you’ve ever hesitated to share your wins, felt like your accomplishments were being overlooked, or wished you had the right words to express your value without second-guessing yourself—this session is for you!
