Is your pitch a value add? #PitchPro Lisa Bragg

This episode of Pitch Live with Amy Summers podcast features Lisa Bragg, author of, “Bragging Rights: How to Talk About Your Work Using Purposeful Self-Promotion.” Lisa flips the script on self-promotion, showing professionals how to confidently talk about their work without coming across as awkward or arrogant. A former broadcast journalist turned entrepreneur, she has advised Fortune 500 companies, global associations, and top industry leaders on how to amplify their success and increase their influence. As a sought-after speaker across the U.S. and Canada, Lisa helps leaders and businesses gain the recognition they deserve in a world where talent alone isn’t enough, teaching them how to claim credit for their achievements and turn visibility into new opportunities.

Key pitching takeaways from Lisa Bragg on this episode of “Pitch Live”:

• Lead with value: serve your audience first, then earn the right to pitch.
• Offer a “menu” of options when pitching yourself so decision-makers can choose.
• Skip the stiff elevator pitch: it’s about connection, not a script.
• Use the “Present–Past–Future” structure to keep your pitch engaging.
• Treat pitching as an ongoing conversation, not a one-and-done moment.
• Advocate for yourself — signal when you’re ready for the next step.
