Do you ever feel like you don’t get enough credit for your accomplishments? Or wish you had more self-confidence when talking with friends, parents, teachers, bosses, teammates, and coaches? Or think that kids at school don’t know the real you?

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “Why didn’t I say ______(fill in the blank)?” Well, it’s time to take a stand! If you don’t tell people what you want them to know and think about you, who will?

By learning to self-promote like a pro (the right way, of course, without being boring or obnoxious!), you’ll impress people with your confidence and personality. Before you know it, everyone will be giving you the respect you deserve.

Your parents probably raised you to be humble and told you never to brag. But in the real world, self-promotion is a must-have skill that will make you more successful in every part of your life. Leaning to gracefully toot your own horn will remind others about your best parts while helping you to:


  • Get great letters of recommendation from teachers

  • Improve your grades

  • Earn privileges at home

  • Attract better friends

  • Get a great job—whether the pizza place, babysitting or an internship at the local hospital

  • Ask for a raise

  • Earn admission at the college of your dreams
  • Be liked by classmates or teammates

  • Get along better with brothers and sisters

  • Make the team

  • Get elected to student government

  • Be a great leader at school or in extra-curricular activities

  • Win awards and scholarships

  • Become more self-confident

By now you might be thinking, “What have I ever done that’s worth talking about?” But each of us has dozens, if not hundreds, of significant accomplishments from school, sports, creative pursuits, social relationships, or work. How do you figure out what they are? Start with the Take-12 Questionnaire. After you’ve identified your accomplishments, we’ll show you how weave them together into a short, upbeat story called a bragologue. Once you have your bragologue, you’ll be ready at a moment's notice to turn the spotlight on yourself in any situation.
