38: Bragging Rights: Why HR Leaders Must Learn to Own Their Wins
Description
Hi friends. Today’s episode is a little personal - and I hope I’m not alone and this will resonate with many of you.
Let me ask you something:
Do you ever struggle to talk about your accomplishments?
Do you cringe when someone says, “Tell me about what you’ve done”?
Do you default to phrases like “we did this” or “the team made it happen,” even when you led the entire thing?
If you’re nodding right now, you’re not alone. And good, I’m not alone.
In this episode, I’m sharing how 20 years of using “we” language - while noble - actually made it harder for me to own my impact. And more importantly, how I’ve learned to shift that without feeling like I’m bragging.
Let’s dive in.
