How to Talk About Your Work

A common question we’re asked:

How do I talk about my work?

Great question with many possible answers.

A few starting points:

Start with your values. What do you care about? Why are you motivated to do the work you do? What’s the impact?

Next, what parts of the work excite you most? What sparked this interest in you? Why did you solve that problem? What could you talk about for hours? Why’s it called that? Why did you choose those colors?

And, what are your customers’ challenges (or pain points)? Depending on who you serve, think of pain points you address for your team, your marketing director, company leadership, your customers. Who is buying, and how does your work impact the real people on the other end? What in the work makes life a bit better for them?

And having a sounding board to talk it out makes the whole process feel even more creative and inspiring.
