Coming soon
You were told to put your head down, do great work, and eventually someone would notice. But everyone around you is too busy to notice – including your boss.
Self-promotion isn’t about bragging in the negative sense. It’s about making sure the right people understand how you’re contributing and what you bring to the table. And without it, your work speaks for itself only in your own head.
In this Talk, May sits down with Lisa Bragg – author of Bragging Rights: How to Talk About Your Work Using Purposeful Self-Promotion – to unpack why high performers stay invisible and what to do about it.
You’ll discover:
- Why “put your head down and do great work” is a myth and what to do instead
- The difference between bragging and showing off (and why it matters)
- How to build a brag book that doubles as a career strategy tool
- The art of taking credit without stealing the spotlight from your team
- What to do when your boss is collecting all the credit
- How to “come in as a 10” when you’re new and why starting small backfires
- The one technique that makes self-promotion feel natural: braggitude
By the end, you’ll have a new way of thinking about self-promotion – and concrete strategies to start making your contributions visible to the people who matter.
