Taking credit for great work shouldn't feel awkward - it should feel normalized.

From sharing credit to using impact-based language, this collaborative article helps professionals break free from the discomfort of self-promotion while still standing in their value.
💡
"The reason taking credit gives us bad vibes is because we don’t normalize it. The perception is we celebrate in circles and reward the elite. Build a culture by being a role model. Willingly share credit. Give it freely. Find co-conspirators. The more comfortable everyone gets, you can own it when it’s just yours for the taking, too."
