If You Need To Tell…

“Tell me about yourself” is a frequent question I ask people when I’m trying to get to know them. Most people speak humbly about themselves, telling me little about their accomplishments. Only when I probe a little deeper is when I find out what they are most proud of.

Social media has caused some people to do whatever they can to get noticed. The posts range from pictures of food or vacations to outrageous activities. Some are entertaining while others are disgusting. Either way, mission accomplished.

Then there are people who like to remind you they are a leader. These types will rattle off their professional resumes with very little prompting. If you need to tell others how great you are, you probably aren’t. But there are exceptions.

Humility doesn’t mean you go through life with your head down. Humility means you are in touch with who you are more than what you do. You do your work quietly and efficiently.

Work hard. Stay humble. People will notice your accomplishments without you having to say a word…
