This effortless and unapologetic approach to self-promotion will manage your anxiety and allow you to champion yourself.
Does talking about your accomplishments feel scary or icky because you're worried people will think you're "obnoxious"?
Does it feel more natural to "put your head down and do the work"?
Are you tired of watching the loudest people in your industry get disproportionate praise and rewards?
If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, you might be self-sabotaging. You need to learn to brag better. Meredith Fineman has built a career working with "The Qualified Quiet": smart people who struggle to talk about themselves and thus go underestimated or unrecognized. Now, she shares the surefire and anxiety-proof strategies that have helped her clients effectively communicate their achievements and skill sets to others.
Bragging better doesn't require false bravado, talking over people, or pretending to be more qualified than you are. Instead, Fineman advocates finding quiet confidence in your opinions, abilities, and background and then turning up the volume.
In this audiobook, you will learn the career-changing tools she's developed over the past decade that make bragging feel easy, including:
- Get remembered by focusing your personal brand and voice on key adjectives (like "effective, subtle, and edgy").
- Practice explaining what you do in simple, sticky terms to earn respect and recognition from the public and people at work.
- Eliminate words that undermine your work and find better ones - like your bio saying you're "trying" or "attempting" to do something instead that you are doing it.
If you're ready to begin bragging better - to start telling the truth about your accomplishments with grace and confidence - this audiobook is for you.

There were some things about the book that bothered me, but they didn't overshadow everything it offered:
1) I wish the author made clear that the book is for professionals and people who want to have a significant public voice. It's fine to have a book that is directed at a specific audience but if you don't say it, it seems like you're suggesting that the book is for everyone, which it is not. Everyone is not upper middle class. The effect is that a person who does not have a professional career or public ambitions will try to listen to it and be understandably annoyed by all of the references to being on TV and "moving from 6 figures to 7 figures. " That said, there are a lot of skills here that are useful to everyone, but they would have to be packaged differently.
2) While I appreciate the discussion of race, it was limited to a diversity and inclusion framework. Diversity and Inclusion are not racial justice. Similarly, she writes that women and POC have a long way to go to catch up. An underlying assumption in the writing is that whites and men will always dominate. The problem isn't that we need to catch up. The problem is that we need systemic social change. Of course, this is not a book about making systemic social change. But, it is irritating when the author suggests that by bragging better, we can get our voices heard, and then all would be well. That is simply not the case.
A very motivating and helpful book
