Women Lead

Welcome back to another exciting episode of Women Lead! I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to chat with Lauren Palmer, the Vice President of Agency Sales at Foundry.

Lauren's career journey began in the fields of journalism and psychology before transitioning into sales. She shares how each experience has played a vital role in shaping her professional trajectory.

In our discussion, Lauren and I dive deep into the captivating topic of authentic self-promotion and highlighting your career accomplishments. We explore the importance of embracing confidence and openly discussing the remarkable work you and your team are doing.

Lauren guides us through overcoming imposter syndrome and encourages us to proudly proclaim our outstanding achievements. She provides valuable insights on how we can all get more comfortable displaying our achievements and promoting ourselves.

Here are the top three key takeaways from our conversation:

1. Authentic self-promotion is a powerful tool when it stems from a place of authenticity. It's a way to acknowledge your accomplishments and inspire others.
2. It's essential to recognize and celebrate not only the significant wins but also the smaller victories of both yourself and your team. Share them with your colleagues, create a personal achievement list, and take a moment to revel in your success.
3. Document your achievements. Regularly revisit and update your accomplishments in various platforms such as internal newsletters, public and personal social profiles, and during one-on-one meetings with senior management.

Join us as we delve into this enlightening conversation with Lauren Palmer, where we explore strategies to unleash your self-promotional prowess and propel your career to new heights.
