So publicising yourself, while very uncomfortable, is really important, and understanding how you appear to others (sometimes not how you see yourself at alL!) is also important. I agree that what you do should speak most loudly, but not everyone sees everything you do, or how you do it.

It describes me to a T except I'm only now hearing about the PIE theory years after I graduated into industry. I'll start applying it this day forward now that I know the proper statistics.
