What you'll learn

Feel more comfortable owning your successes

Air the cultural lessons we learned around self-promotion. Permit ourselves to speak proudly and clearly about our work.

Learn to ground your brag in facts

Shift the focus from you to the outcome. Include who helped your efforts. See the emotional shift—and clearer language.

Practice bragging with a new take and reframe on the act

Practice applying all you've just learned by describing a recent win in five sentences. Share and celebrate.

Why this topic matters

Many of us cling to vague, corporate language and leave out crowning achievements when citing our wins. And yet few speak to the bigger blockers: Lingering childhood lessons which praised humility and discouraged self-praise. Our workshop airs and reframes those messages. We learn ways to brag with less guilt, more confidence, while still honoring our core values: Kindness, truth, and humility.
