Round of Applause

There's something truly satisfying about having your hard work acknowledged by others. That warm feeling of accomplishment when someone metaphorically pats you on the back.

But let's be honest, most people find tooting their own horn to be challenging, and it doesn't always come naturally. It can actually feel a bit awkward at times since most of us grew up waiting for others to sing our praises. After all, humility is often taught to be a virtue. However, I came to realize a while back that in the competitive workplace, being your own cheerleader is not just beneficial, it's a necessity.
