Getting Comfortable with Self-Advocacy
summary
Argues that clear self-advocacy increases business results and cuts attrition, recommends a simple routine: document weekly wins with concrete metrics, coach quieter teammates to present one project per month, and run a lightweight public ritual (company Slack or LinkedIn) to normalize visibility. Gives two actionable tools: weekly win log for performance reviews and #humbleback challenge to practice voicing achievements. Claims leaders who enforce this see better resource allocation, fewer surprise resignations, and fairer promotion outcomes.
