“People don't know what you’ve done until you tell them, so let’s get strategically loud.” - Meredith Fineman, Author of Brag Better
Join executive coach and Something Major Founder, Randi Braun, for a Let’s Do Lunch: Brag Better session with author, speaker, and all-around bragging rockstar, Meredith Fineman.
Author of Brag Better: Master the Art of Fearless Self-Promotion, we are thrilled to bring Fineman to the Something Major community for the February edition of Let’s Do Lunch on Wednesday, February 23rd at 12:00pm ET.
Join us for this conversation about:
Why our work doesn’t speak for itself and what we need to know to get the credit we deserve (spoiler: if you believe doing good work is “enough,” you are a member of what Fineman called “the qualified quiet”... and you’re probably leaving compensation and reputation points on the table)
Tips for how to get loud, proud, and strategic about your accomplishments in a way that is authentic to you
Tactics for building your brand -- both at work and in your industry
Tools for how to increase your confidence when it comes to showing other people how awesome you are and for having important conversations (e.g. that raise, that promotion, that interview...)
Registration is free and join us live to ask your questions directly to Fineman, a sought-after speaker and bragging guru for women.
