BRAG! THE ART OF TOOTING YOUR OWN HORN WITHOUT BLOWING IT

Brag is not a "four-letter" word to this consultant and communication coach. Too often in organizations we expect to be appreciated automatically--and compensated accordingly. The author tells how to give a balanced picture of your achievements and worth, and continually reminds you never to forget that you're responsible for how you present your value to others. This is a snappy lesson in individual marketing and a great primer on negotiating in job interviews and performance reviews. It's also a lesson on how important words and ideas are in developing a good self-image and in getting recognized for what you've achieved. The program is organized around 12 questions about one's self (listed on the package, thank you!) that are nicely developed and illustrated. T.W.
