To brag or not to brag, that is the question

This weekend's BostonWorks section focused on "Brag Queen," Peggy Klaus, who runs workshops and seminars for women on how to brag to get ahead.
Peggy Klaus raced down the aisle, exhorting the 150 or so women professionals and business owners packed into a meeting room at Citizens Bank to stand up, speak up -- and brag.
''Women have been hit over the head with the idea that if they talk about themselves, people won't like them,'' said Klaus. ''But if you don't talk about your accomplishments, who will?'' It's worth reading the whole article, because there are some experts at the end who question whether this is the best strategy for women in the workplace. Their fear is that women may unintentionally cross over the line and be seen as too pushy. So what's a woman to do? I suppose one solution would be to have an unofficial "Take your Grandma to Work Day" and let her do your bragging for you!
