Quick takeaways

• One strategy for articulating strengths without sounding arrogant is to use the phrase 'People tell me.' By sharing what others say about your strengths or accomplishments, it sounds less self-promoting and more credible.

• Another strategy is to pivot the conversation after stating your strength or accomplishment. This involves shifting the focus to something else, such as what you've learned, other people, or expressing gratitude. This allows you to share your achievements while also highlighting growth, teamwork, or appreciation.
