| FOR
YOUR NEXT EVENT…THINK BRAG!
- Professional development
- Sales training
- Community Outreach
- Orientations
- Annual meetings
- And more…
BRAG! training content is broad-based, building skills
for both professional development (promoting yourself and
your agenda) and business development (promoting your company
and its products). Programs range from a two-hour BRAG!
Party (a cocktail-style networking event) to a two-day
workshop. All BRAG! trainings are interactive and full
of experiential exercises. They include opportunities for
giving and receiving feedback, creating an elevator-pitch
bragologue, and learning the skills needed to become a
more dynamic communicator in all situations.
BRAG!
Parties: Highly interactive, cocktail-style affairs, where
people can network personally and professionally, and fearlessly
practice tooting their own horns without blowing it. Klaus
reveals key self-promotion techniques interspersed with
fun, experiential exercises like speed bragging, where
people change partners every few minutes.
BRAG! Workshops: An entertaining and informative way of reminding professionals
about the critical importance of
self-promotion in today's dog-eat-dog world, while giving
them an opportunity to test Klaus' techniques for better
bragging. Workshops extend the focus from promoting yourself
to promoting your company's products and services. They
can be scheduled for two hours to two days.
BRAG!
Keynotes: Klaus offers BRAG! Keynote presentations that
incorporate the interactive nature of her workshops
and parties into a format appropriate for larger groups.
Bragging
Through Diversity: Whether you are an African
American woman or an East Indian man, some combination
of cultural
stereotypes and bragging
myths are sure to get in your way while climbing the
ladder to success. And although the workplace grows more
diverse each day, the truth remains that the upper echelons
of the business world are still largely dominated by
white males. Bragging Through Diversity delivers the
self-promotion skills needed to climb past both internal
misconceptions about bragging and external stereotypes
about differences. By learning to “toot your own
horn” with style and grace, everyone can make themselves
seen, heard and valued for their accomplishments—rather
than being judged by the assumptions of others.
BRAG!
Connections Corporate Outreach: Offering companies and organizations
the opportunity to build positive relationships with the
employees and consumers of the
future, this cross-generational program expands the popular BRAG!
line-up into the realm of corporate outreach by pairing aspiring
teens or disadvantaged young adults with seasoned corporate workers
to learn critical networking and self-promotion job skills. The
Early Show on CBS recently featured a Brag Connections program
held at the Manhattan offices of event sponsor JP Morgan Chase
during which 80 high-school girls were matched with members of
100 Women In Hedge Funds.
Brag is no longer
a "four letter" word. In
fact, in today’s competitive business world, bragging
is a necessity—not a choice. Remaining quiet about
yourself, or even worse downplaying your successes, leads
to being undervalued and allowing others to take credit
for your achievements. Remaining quiet about your company
and its products, leads to lost opportunities for sales
and service.
Peggy Klaus, top Fortune 500 communication
and leadership coach, developed BRAG!workshops two years
ago as a way for corporations to teach their employees
how to talk informatively and entertainingly about their
products and services to clients, colleagues and the press.
Since then, she has taught thousands of business professionals
how to promote themselves and their products gracefully,
without feeling or sounding like a walking billboard. BRAG!
Parties, Workshops, and Keynotes show participants how
to put their best foot forward—while keeping it out
of their mouths.
Klaus has led BRAG events at a variety
of corporations and organizations including SC Johnson,
General Mills,
Credit Suisse First Boston, Ladies Home Journal, Count
Me In, GraceNet, Menttium, 100 Women In Hedge Funds, and
the Harvard Business School Alumni Association. Known for
her colorful and frank advice, Klaus has been featured
on ABC’s 20/20 and NBC’s Today show, and covered
by countless top regional and syndicated journalists across
the U.S. for articles in The Wall
Street Journal, Business
Week, Fortune, The
New York Times, Investors
Business Daily,
and Newsweek, among others.
