Love this Elin, and fully supporting you in your journey in growth! I think you might enjoy "Show Your Work" if you haven't already read it - it really helped me get my head out of the sand!
Another really illuminating read, thank you Elin. With my background in PR, I absolutely see the value in wholehearted, intentional promotion. I always found my job easier when I fully believed in a client and felt truly enthusiastic about their offering. You are so right that being open and telling our stories/experiences/processes are the way to connect to other people’s hearts xx
When I was consulting and selling a mental wellbeing offering to exciting brands in Europe a few years ago I definitely had major sales fright. I really struggled to get the message across initially because i was subconsciously scared of success I think as well as rejection. Understanding our beliefs and digging into the why really helps. And yes, sales and marketing aren’t dirty words, and both can be beautiful ways to create connection and and value. Bad sales and marketing does the opposite in my view and you can smell it from far which one it is.😅
I have "social-fright" ☺️ I just dislike promote anything. Mostly because I sound like a broken record. But I'm guessing I'm just doing it all wrong. Some is super good at these stuff. Others not so much. And having ASD is not helping either haha.
I love how your "marketing" doubles as practical, valuable guidance to your tribe. This post is such a good example of it. That's marketing you can and should be proud of!
One of the magical gifts of your writing Elin is your level of transparency. You don't slip in bog standard selling - you use what you're doing as teachable moments. How wonderful that is!
