#10 - Why Self-Promotion Feels Awkward (and What to Do About It)

In this conversation, Corey Wilks, Psy.D., explores the often cringeworthy nature of self-promotion and how to overcome it. He identifies three main intentions behind self-promotion: flexing, pleading, and inspiring/helping.

Wilks emphasizes the importance of understanding one's intention when engaging in self-promotion and encourages listeners to share their creations genuinely with their audience.
