“It’s not bragging if you can back it up.” So said Muhammad Ali — the late boxer, social activist, and cultural icon known as The Greatest.

He was right. And yet, too many of us resist bragging when we update our leaders, write our self-appraisals and self-assessments, even introduce ourselves to others. Crown achievements—the gems of our work or career—are buried or left out.

I know why. Often it's feeling unrecognized at work or the culture we emerged from that obstructs. A feeling we're impolite or "showy" or "too work focused" if we speak excitedly about our work. Sound familiar? Then read on.

Brag Like a Boss brings you my proven process, secrets, and habits I've built as a trusted executive communications coach with Google, the US Air Force, Dell, American Express, and many global finance companies.

Since entering the coaching industry five years ago, I've coached over 1,000 leaders and 8,500+ sessions. I've helped many re-find lost confidence, become briefer, more compelling, and less awkward with sharing their wins. Most go on to get promoted. It's these tactics I bring to this workshop.

It starts with understanding why we dim our light anyway, learning tools and tactics to share the facts, context, and claim the wins in service of you, your team, and the shared work.

We've one, three-hour fast-paced workshop bringing discussion, reflection, tactics, and practice. In this time, we'll:

-Unpack our blockers to bragging like a boss. (It always runs deep--but the mindset's often shared.)

-Write a compelling bio based on facts and narrative insights, no fluff in sight

-Workshop the prompts in your self-assessment/PERF reviews or describe your work for your resume. Write and report on what you did like a journalist, using humility and confidence

-Write an update you can share with your leaders that's so gorgeous, crisp and compelling you'll want to print out and frame it.

-Notice (without judgment) the language we use to dim vs shine our light. Re-cast with active vs passive voice, real vs corporate language, and with concrete facts.

-Add in vital context. Simple adds like the numbers of employees and customers at the company where you serve boosts confidence and heightens awareness, too.

Join the next cohort. Bring your team. You'll change how you write, speak, and think about your work for the rest of your career. You will soar from the insights and tactics gained.
