Distill your bio down to key points
Talking yourself down makes others awkward. Be positive
Everyone has a brand
Communicate what you want, what you are doing and what you have achieved
Ticketing systems and email are not as effective for communication as in-person or phone conversations
Better to overcommunicate. The recipient can choose whether or not to engage
Selling yourself to the company doesn't stop when you get the job
Share your thoughts and teach others, even if you are not an expert
Promotions come through showing leadership
Sharing your knowledge and experience means that others know what you can do
Make it easy for others to work with you and manage you
Organic networking requires giving people what they want or need, not using them for your own gain
Be easy to find and communicate with
Be yourself - don't sound like a salesman. Share your thoughts and feelings, even if they don't make you look awesome
Use technology to help visibility - use tools to schedule posts
Pay attention to what other people value and learn from watching others
People work for people
Maintain awareness of how your work delivers wider value
Stretch yourself regularly
Cooperate with your colleagues, don't compete

Be realistic and honest
