BIG IDEA: HOW TO STAND OUT AT WORK (WITHOUT FEELING SLIMY)

It’s important to have a personal brand and advocate for yourself at work. After all, hard work alone is rarely enough. Not to mention, there are lots of biases (ex: proximity bias) that often disadvantage certain populations (ex remote workers).

Making sure you are amplifying your work and that people know your personal brand is really important, however, it's hard to 1) figure out how to do this effectively and 2) to do this in a way that doesn’t feel awkward, slimy, or inauthentic.

I’d like to have some help writing an article that shows people how they can speak up and stand out to elevate their work so they can get credit for what they do, gain exposure and opportunities, and advance their career, without feeling awkward or slimy about it.
