About this listen

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.

Thank you !

I was shocked by the 1 star review. This audio book is well read, thorough with a good scope of the topic covered, a little political but VERY welcome!
Concise examples and relatable stories. I found the book enjoyable and extraordinarily helpful.

Hard to listen to

I listened to the first 100 minutes of this book but I couldn’t take any more feminist men bashing!! She just keeps repeating the same BS about how men are great at bragging and women need to speak up more. Making that point once would have been ok but the same thing for 100 minutes!!
