Brag Better

Talking about yourself and your accomplishments is scary and overwhelming.

Bragging, and Bragging Better is crucial for your career. Whether for a new job, a raise, or confidence, this new approach to “fearless self-promotion” will erase anxiety and provide a roadmap to champion yourself.

Many of us, The Qualified Quiet™, have done the work but don’t know how to share it. We need a place to begin. You likely prefer to “put your head down and do the work”. Bragging to propel your career is essential, difficult work. You are sabotaging yourself by not talking about your accomplishments. People don’t know what you’ve done until you tell them, so let’s get strategically loud.

You shouldn’t know how to do this. There aren’t models for Bragging Better and we have an inverse relationship between volume and merit — rewarding the loudest, not the most qualified. We need you to tell the world who you are, what you want, and to pass the microphone to others.

Brag Better™ will teach you to:

• Eliminate words that undermine your work and find better ones.
• Pitch yourself and work, from networking to press.
• Understand why bragging is difficult but necessary.
• Explain your work and use it to get bigger opportunities in public and within a company.

If you’re ready to begin a path to Bragging Better, be proud of your work, and help others shine, this book is for you.
