How a 30-Second Brag Helps You Promote Yourself

Nov 19, 2024 | Tip for a Terrific Tuesday

It’s important for everyone to have a 30-Second Bragg to promote yourself with confidence. Here’s what Ericka Ward, a workshop participant, has to say about creating a 30-Second Bragg.

“Hi. My name is Ericka Ward, and I am the program coordinator for diversity, equity and inclusion here at Riverside Health.



And I am so happy that I came today.

I was invited by my supervisor and a coworker to come to Riverside’s Ladies Leadership Night, and I was so very, very happy that I came. 



Doctor Bragg expounded on being able to give your 30-minute brag, and she gave us some tidbits from The Brag Factor that really helped me because, as a person who likes to give and help others, often we pour out to help other people, but we also don’t always know how to talk about the things that we do.

We will boost other people up, but we always maybe shy away from sharing the good things that we do.

So she gave me the confidence tonight that there’s no shame in telling your your pitch and sharing the good things that are are notable about yourself.

So I wanna say thank you to Doctor. Bragg for pouring into my life tonight.

It really, really has made a difference, and I feel a lot more confident to go out there and give my brag.”
