Course overview

Here is the truth about how top job candidates actually secure opportunities…

Standing out in the corporate world is about so much more than just your skillset:

it's about your ability to communicate it effectively.

It's time to distinguish yourself as the competitive candidate that you deserve to be recognized as.

Are you preparing for an interview, applying for grants, or getting ready to negotiate?

Prepare to level-up with The Brag Book Method, a 3-week cohort-based program starting on March 12th, 2024, designed to help you articulate your wins and illustrate your value, skillset, impact, and potential.

You’ll walk away from this program with the ability to champion your career progression using the tangible evidence you compile in your own “Brag Book,” and a “center” to serve as your guide through pivotal career conversations!

Being humble ain't going to pay your bills.

- especially in this economy. Build a brag book to enhance your resume, LinkedIn, interviews, performance reviews, and more. It's time to stand out and get paid.

What is a Brag Book?

A brag book is a collection of your professional highlights, testimonials, and achievements that is used as a tool to guide you through career conversations.

Why do you need one?

Brag books alleviate the pressures associated with interviews and on-the-spot pitches by preparing you to advocate for your value with the support of stories, metrics, and testimonials.

This course is for you if...

You're a job seeker who wants to respond confidently to interview questions

You're an employee who wants to advocate for their ideas (and their promotion)

You're a freelancer who wants to attract more clients and opportunities
