| Brag Party with Peggy Klaus |
Dates: April 14th in New York and April 15th in Philadelphia
The annual "Brag Party" is for high school juniors from The Young Women’s Leadership Schools. We need energetic and fabulous volunteers to help teenage girls learn the art of bragging and building self-confidence! Peggy Klaus, communication guru and author, will show the girls and volunteers how to deal with two of the most difficult soft skills for women to master: the impostor syndrome, and self-promotion. This high-energy, experiential workshop provides insights, strategies, tools, and techniques for conquering the little voice inside your head that whispers self-defeating thoughts and then teaches students how to toot their own horn (the right way, of course!) about the great things they’ve accomplished. This event is taking place on April 14 in New York and April 15 in Philadelphia. Details to be announced. Sign up now.
