how to talk about your work using purposeful self-promotion

"Shed your invisibility cloak and achieve success. "Be a good girl, put your head down, do good work, and eventually someone will notice." So many of us have been told that if we just follow the rules and work hard, then we will be rewarded. But in these transformative times, old formulas, and ideas like this don't work anymore--if they ever did! The reality is, you've already been doing excellent work, and yet opportunities have probably slipped by you. Maybe you've been waiting to get that next-level promotion, draw in higher-profile clients, or attract the people who will make partnerships that matter. Whatever you are waiting for, one thing is true: if you want the opportunities you most certainly deserve, you must learn to talk about your work using purposeful self-promotion. You can no longer wait for others simply to take notice of you and reward you accordingly. In this cutting-edge new book, acclaimed speaker and advisor Lisa Bragg examines the circumstances that have led people to believe they should stay quiet rather than speak up about their work. Drawing on the most comprehensive study on bragging done to date, along with interviews with highly successful people across multiple fields worldwide, she explains both the obstacles to self-promotion and how they can be overcome to create more opportunities for yourself and others, including those you lead. Skillfully blending extensive research with practical application, Bragging Rights is a must-read for anyone who wants to shed the invisibility cloak and achieve life-changing success."--, Provided by publisher
