Marketing Myself: How I’m Learning to Sell My Expertise Without Feeling Salesy

Let’s be honest, self-promotion can feel really uncomfortable. Especially coming from the nonprofit world, where humility and mission-driven work are often valued more than spotlighting individual success.

But as a consultant, I’ve learned that if I don’t talk about what I do, the people and organizations I could help might never find me.

💡 Here’s what’s helped me shift my mindset: Instead of thinking of it as selling, I now see it as helping. I’m not trying to convince anyone, I’m sharing value, offering insight, and inviting folks to connect if it resonates.

✅ What’s working for me lately:

• Storytelling that reflects real client wins

• Sharing tips that nonprofits can apply right away

• Letting testimonials speak for themselves

  
  

Because when your work creates real impact, talking about it isn’t bragging, it’s service.
