FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT…THINK BRAG!

•  Professional Development

•  Sales Training

•  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’s 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.
