520    "If you prefer to "just put your head down and do the work,
       " or if you feel like bragging is icky, you are sabotaging
       yourself without knowing it. Doing good work is no 
       guarantee anyone will notice it. You need a strategy for 
       communicating your achievements and skill sets to others. 
       Meredith Fineman has built a thriving career training the 
       Qualified Quiet: competent professionals who struggle to 
       communicate their worth to others. Rather than pretending 
       that you're more qualified or confident than you are, or 
       inserting self-promotion into conversations at 
       inappropriate times, Fineman advocates finding quiet 
       confidence in your opinions, abilities, and background, 
       and then turning up the volume. In this book, Fineman 
       shares the game-changing tools she's developed over the 
       past decade that make bragging feel easy, including: - 
       Eliminate words that undermine your work and find better 
       ones--like your bio saying you're "trying" or "attempting"
       to do something instead that you ARE doing it. - Get 
       remembered by focusing your personal brand and voice on 
       key adjectives (like "effective, subtle, and edgy") - 
       Practice explaining what you do in simple, sticky terms to
       earn respect and recognition from the public and people at
       work Our culture rewards loud voices over qualified ones. 
       To create a thoughtful, diverse dialogue, we need you to 
       tell the world who you are and what you want--with volume.
       If you're ready to unlock career opportunities and help 
       others shine, this book is for you"--|cProvided by
