Brag Your Butt Off

Talking about yourself feels pretty good, right?

Sharing good news boosts your self-esteem, and helps others think better of you.

• Bragging is just part of being good at what you do — whatever that is.
• It feels distasteful but is necessary for career growth.
• Promote your own successes; assume no one else will do it for you.
• We are taught humility, but social media teaches us the opposite.
• Too much humility leads to missed sales and promotional opportunities.

Your successes, accomplishments and personal stories make you more interesting:

• Connect with others and build stronger relationships.
• Let them get to know the “real” you.
• Demonstrate the values most important to you.
• Validate the results you deliver to clients.
