If we don't talk about our work, people are unlikely to understand its impact. However, we hold back from talking about our work because we are worried that we may come across as if we are bragging. On this episode, Clinician Researcher podcast host, Toyosi Onwuemene, explores the topic of how to discuss your work without feeling like you're bragging. Drawing from personal experiences and a recent coaching call, Dr. Onwuemene provides practical strategies to share your work authentically.

Key Points Discussed:

1. The discomfort many feel when discussing their work stems from a fear of coming across as arrogant or sleazy.
2. The imperative of communicating your work effectively.
3. Recognizing that you are often the best advocate for your work.
4. Openly discussing your work leads to collaboration and opportunities for growth.
5. Because people need reminders of the significance of your work, be prepared to communicate it consistently.
