Authentic self-marketing: Promote Yourself Authentically
What if, instead of constantly trying to outpace your competition, you focused on giving people clear reasons to choose you? When you have something valuable to offer, authentic self-marketing ensures you get the attention you deserve.
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde
Authentic Self-Marketing
Are you struggling to stand out in a noisy world?
Are your ideas failing to gain the traction they deserve?
Do you want to reach and resonate with more of the right people?
Are you tired of fighting for attention?
You’re not alone. Many professionals feel full of potential, believing anything is possible—until they face the reality of fierce competition. Everyone is vying for attention, and even the best ideas, products, and services can go unnoticed if they’re not presented effectively.
Your expertise, products, or services may be exceptional. But unless others see their value, they’ll remain invisible. To influence and connect, you need more than great ideas—you need a strategy, a story, and a way to communicate your uniqueness.
Where to Start
To unlock your potential, ask yourself:
- What do you stand for?
- What do you value deeply?
- What is your goal?
- What makes your proposition unique?
- Who benefits most from what you offer?
- How can you communicate the value of your ideas?
- What story do you want to tell?
Answering these questions will set the foundation for authentic self-marketing.
A Glimpse of Success: What I Offer
Creating extraordinary ideas or products takes years—but learning how to communicate their value effectively often gets overlooked. I want to help you change that.
As a coach and trainer, I’ll support you in:
- Developing a clear strategy for representing yourself professionally.
- Defining your goals and aligning them with your actions.
- Raising your profile and positioning yourself with clarity.
- Highlighting your strengths and unique value.
- Formulating the benefits of your product or service.
- Crafting an actionable implementation plan with concrete steps.
- Telling your story in a way that captivates and connects.
And if you like, I’ll even help you bring all of this to life.
Stop dreaming. Start acting. Let’s make your vision a reality.
Your Coach and Travel Companion
Since 1998, I have been helping people present themselves and their offers with clarity and confidence. Before transitioning to coaching, I worked as a manager with a focus on marketing, where I witnessed a common challenge: many great ideas and solutions remain unseen, gathering dust instead of making the impact they deserve.
Too often, professionals assume that the quality of their offer alone is enough. While admirable, this belief doesn’t reflect reality. If you believe in your offer, you must present it with the same conviction. Your message and how you deliver it are inseparable.
That’s where I come in. Drawing on my expertise in marketing, psychology, and communication, I help you craft and deliver a compelling presentation that highlights your strengths and resonates with your audience.

What is a self-marketing?
Self-marketing helps individuals improve their image and reputation to advance their careers. It is sometimes called personal branding because it uses branding tools to create an image around an employee rather than a product. It’s effective because leads are more likely to buy from a person that they know and trust than from an anonymous brand.
Is self-marketing only for extroverts?
Overall, introverts and extroverts can be equally successful with their self-marketing. It’s important to stay authentic. Good self-marketing is authentic. Bragging is not necessary!

18 tips to increase your assertiveness
Assertiveness is based on persuasiveness. What needs to be convincing is inseparably linked to the person who wants to realize his or her intentions. In addition to the quality and attractiveness of the offer, a convincing presentation is also important. The way in which we are perceived has a great impact on our assertiveness and is a major factor in determining whether we gain trust and support or whether we encounter resistance. This not only applies in the professional context, but also in the private sphere.
Self-marketing: How about your focus?
Self-marketing needs focus. You may have many strengths and talents. Don’t be tempted to focus on more than one or two, or you will dilute your message. Focus on your core message so that you are known for something that counts!
