​​​​​​​I help clients with personal branding and I often write and edit their resumes, bios, and LinkedIn profiles.

One of my clients who is quite accomplished, asked me to edit her bio last week. I tightened it up and added one line at the beginning so her educational background and work experience tied together. These minor changes made it read more powerfully.

My client’s response was, “That sounds like bragging.”
