Brag Better: Building Confidence in Your Notary Practice and Beyond

In a world filled with copycats and a lack of originality, it’s more important than ever to live outside preconditioned norms and learn how to brag better. Meredith Fineman’s book, Brag Better: Mastering the Art of Fearless Self-Promotion, inspired me to reflect on how we, as notaries, professionals, and individuals, can confidently own our value and market ourselves effectively.

So, let me ask you this: What makes you unique? Beyond being a parent, a corporate executive, or an entrepreneur, how do you showcase your skills, expertise, and personal brand?

Whether you’re in a professional setting or even on a date, you’re often met with this simple yet profound question: “Tell me about yourself.” Are you prepared to answer confidently?

Through my in-person Intro to Notary Practice classes and events, I strive to empower notaries and professionals alike to embrace their individuality and develop critical skills that elevate both their personal and professional lives.

Here’s what you can expect when you attend one of my events:

1. Empowerment Through Skill-Building:

• Practice public speaking by reading aloud.

• Role-play real-world notarization scenarios to sharpen critical thinking skills.

• Learn how to calculate notary fees correctly (yes, math is involved!).

• Connect with like-minded professionals who share your goals.

  
  

2. Confidence and Community:

Teaching these classes allows me to serve as a connector, building a community of notaries who support and inspire one another. It’s a role I cherish because not only do I instill confidence in others, but I also draw strength and encouragement from them.

3. A Reminder of Your Impact:

Being a notary isn’t just about stamping a document. You’re often facilitating life’s most significant moments—helping clients navigate contracts, ensure compliance, or complete milestones. Even in corporate settings, your role is integral to moving businesses forward.

So, here’s my hope for you today: take a moment to recognize your value. Be proud of your accomplishments. Learn to brag better. Incorporate your unique skills and experiences into your personal brand and notary services.

Let’s build a community that celebrates integrity, professionalism, and confidence. And as you grow in your personal and professional life, remember that fearless self-promotion isn’t arrogance—it’s acknowledging the impact you’re making every day.
