THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT SOFT SKILLS
Workplace Lessons Smart People Wish They’d Learned Sooner
By Peggy Klaus

It’s rarely a shortfall in technical expertise that limits our careers, but rather a shortcoming in social, communication, and self-management behaviors. In THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT SOFT SKILLS, Fortune 500 coach Peggy Klaus distills 54 important workplace lessons based on stories of struggles and triumphs she has collected from thousands of hours training, coaching, and interviewing people at all rungs of the corporate ladder. Readers will not only walk away with a much better understanding and awareness of soft skills and how they are woven throughout their careers, but also gain practical insights, strategies, tools, and techniques for learning or improving a particular soft skills area.

BRAG! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It

In BRAG! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It (Hachette Book Group USA), top communication and leadership coach Peggy Klaus introduces the most effective ways to sell your best asset—yourself—without turning off those you are trying to impress. Klaus's proven techniques help readers overcome common misperceptions about bragging so they can promote themselves without feeling or sounding like a walking billboard. "People either avoid bragging at all costs because they don't know how to do it gracefully, or they attempt to sell themselves like a PowerPoint presentation, making those on the receiving end want to hide," Klaus writes. Filled with personal and professional self-promotion dilemmas and solutions, BRAG! teaches readers how to put their best foot forward—while keeping it out of their mouths!   Learn more about BRAG!

BRAG! REVIEW
From Publishers Weekly

Using the same techniques that have turned thousands of professionals and executives into skillful self-promoters, Klaus, a Fortune 500 communication consultant, teaches how to make an impact in today's unstable business market by becoming "a master of artful bragging." Klaus's persuasive writing style and authentic tone combined with real-life anecdotes culled from her 10 years conducting training seminars show off the transformative effect successful bragging can have on a career (including the author's own), while deflating any fears readers may have of coming off as phony, arrogant or obnoxious. Creating a "bragalogue"(or short, enthusiastic, continually updated story showcasing strengths and accomplishments) that you can deliver comfortably and sincerely is key to "planting seeds for the future" or standing out in interviews, performance reviews or networking situations. Sample conversations, self-evaluation surveys, advice on avoiding common bragging pitfalls, hints on body language and concrete tips for stay-at-home moms, freelancers, retirees and recent college grads lend a hands-on feel to this valuable business primer.
