Do you have a hard time recognizing your own accomplishments or feeling comfortable when talking about them to others? Today's episode is a game-changer when it comes to bragging, as our guest, Meredith Fineman debunks the negative connotation of this word. Fineman has decades of experience teaching professionals how to strategically and cohesively project their work so that the right people notice it in a way that plays to their strengths. As she mentions, "a brag is a strategic piece of information to get what you want.

Throughout this episode, you'll hear Fineman outline the key elements of effective bragging, how to inspire and benefit others by sharing your accomplishments, and how to model a culture of healthy pride in which bragging isn't seen as something shameful.
