BRAGGING BEYOND BIAS: STEPPING UP, SPEAKING UP AND SUCCEEDING AS YOUR TRUE SELF

Talking about ourselves and our accomplishments can be uncomfortable, difficult, and embarrassing. Why can we celebrate the successes of others with excitement and pride while often neglecting to mention our own successes…much to our personal and professional detriment? All of us face biases. For people of color, women, LGBTQ+ and the neuro-diverse, self-promotion comes with even greater challenges both in and out of the workplace.

But does it have to be this way? How can companies encourage “good bragging” for everyone as a way to reward talent, stay competitive and create a truly diverse workplace? How can professionals toot their own horns without sounding like a walking billboard?

It’s time to master the Art of Bragging… with consciousness, confidence and courage.

Bragging Beyond Bias: Stepping Up, Speaking Up and Succeeding as Your True Self
is a half or full-day experiential workshop that levels the playing field by providing critical tools for an inclusive culture of good bragging.

We all have success stories to tell, we just need the skills to tell them. Good bragging is good business.

BRAG! THE ART OF TOOTING YOUR
OWN HORN W/O BLOWING IT!

BRAG IS NOT A FOUR LETTER WORD. Building your career and forging more meaningful relationships with those you love is achieved by artfully sharing your professional and personal accomplishments. In this high-impact, experiential workshop, Peggy demonstrates how to brag so that you always project your best self without ever sounding like a braggadocious boor.
