I never say “senior” in my job title (and I think it’s costing me)

Here’s my confession: I worked five years to get to a senior level position in brand management. But whenever I introduce myself in meetings… I always drop the word "senior".

Because it feels like I shouldn’t be making a fuss. Stressing this little word would feel ego driven. Like I want to make myself more important than I am.

Until I realized… it’s doing myself and the people I introduce myself to a huge disservice.

I talk all about this in what feels like a voice note episode to myself, and to the person who downplays their credentials in the same way.
