Get the opportunities you desire—and deserve.

We've long been told, "Put your head down, do good work, and eventually someone will notice you." But that limiting and diminishing advice doesn't hold up in the noise and pace of these transformative times. The reality is, no one cares about your future the way you do. If you want to achieve remarkable results, it's up to you to talk about your successes and accomplishments.

In Bragging Rights, acclaimed speaker and advisor Lisa Bragg shows you how to get comfortable with sharing your strengths. Drawing on proprietary research, consultations with high-performing leaders, and her own rich experiences as a journalist and entrepreneur, Bragg examines why so many people are afraid to speak up about their work, illuminates why bragging is a catalyst of positive change, and offers practical advice on embracing and applying the art of authentic self-promotion.

With proven tools, techniques, and insights, Bragging Rights will help you understand and tell the world about your true superpowers, so you can access new opportunities and, along the way, elevate others.

      Bragg debuts with the quintessential guide to "talking about your successes and accomplishments in a positive way.” Acknowledging the limits society creates on “self-aggrandizing,” Bragg offers readers practical ways to self-promote, set against a backdrop of inspiring quotes, research, client success stories, and personal anecdotal advice. She explores the true meaning behind bragging and dispels the negative connotations around the word (and the action), taking time to break down some of the language barriers that keep readers from being “the loudest in the room," with humility.
      “Bragging is about your future… You have a higher aspiration that needs to be seen, heard, and shared so you can get the opportunities you deserve” Bragg writes, in an effort to explore what makes individuals special and teach them acceptable ways to highlight their potential. She even coaches leaders on helping employees shed their aversion to bragging, encouraging workplaces to create “an intentional and safe culture of bragging.” The end result of shunning our successes, according to Bragg, is stagnation, and while there is a fine line to tow when talking up accomplishments, avoiding a little humble bragging in the right moment is sure to stifle growth—both individually and companywide.
      The strength of this guide is Bragg’s interactive content paired with her inspirational calls to action. She includes prompts at the close of each chapter, offering readers the opportunity to reframe beliefs that may be holding them back, and reviews several cultural influences on bragging, urging followers to “shine the light on others” by cultivating a sense of community and engaging in collective storytelling. The featured interviews with successful business leaders ground Bragg’s advice in real-world acumen, making the guide as educational as it is motivational. This is the perfect option for anyone struggling with how to promote themselves and boost their "social currency.”
      Takeaway: A comprehensive guide on self-promotion through the subtle art of bragging.
