SHINE WITHOUT BEING A BRAGGART
Couch it in a compliment
'Itsjust wonderful how your son made it through
the grueling process to get into Brown. I remem-
ber when Junior was filling Out the forms for his
Rhodes Scholarship.„.'
Overshare so it just sounds like part Of
the story
'Then we spent five days in LA. and the weather
was weirdly wet (humid hair nightmare) but then
we ran into Ryan Gosling (yes, the actor!) who
invited us back for drinks.'
Try the humble brag
'Who knew the most exhausting part Of climbing
Everest would be the flight back from Kat-
mandu!'
Know your audience. Avoid this:
'Hey guys, how about those Steelers? Listen, did
I tell you about that group reading of "Ulysses" I
did? So powerful, in fact„..'
Outsource it
'And did I tell you how my darling Charles here
was made partner injust six months?'
