How to Write about Yourself

Pete Mosley

This short masterclass will supply you with really useful tools, techniques and ways of thinking to help you write about yourself.

Writing about yourself - for your website, LinkedIn, social media or other profiles - is one of the hardest things to do.People build up their picture of who you are and what you do over time. They learn about you from a number of views, not from any single ‘perfect’ post. You need to reflect that in the way you plan to share different facets of yourself and your experiences.You've got to come across as credible and authentic, but also warm and approachable, in a limited number of words. How do you choose what to focus on?How much personal stuff do you share? You need to tell enough of your story to draw people towards you, but not over-share. That's a hard call too!In this short course I'll provide you with plenty of ideas, tools and techniques to get you enthused and keep you going. Nothing hard - just tried and tested ways to write sensible stuff about yourself and what you do in a professional, warm and highly credible style.I'll also show you how to show up in ways that will help your audience to build a really positive impression of who you are.You’ll learn how to draw on resources you already have:<ul><li>Your natural strengths.</li><li>Track Record and credibility.</li><li>Skills, knowledge and experience.</li><li>Things other people say about you.</li><li>Practical thought leadership. Things you’ve learned and wish to share.</li><li>Your personality and story - the authentic you.</li></ul>In doing this you will learn how to reduce the anxiety associated with posting about yourself, move away from trying to create perfect posts and instead work towards building a stronger, more positive impression over time.The course fee includes a PDF of resources and the key slides.Please note - content is oriented towards self-promotion and does not cover writing for CV's or job applications.What people say about the course:<ul><li>‘Excellent session packed full of really helpful writing tips - I’m inspired!’</li><li>A concise, full of content, well researched and presented course.
