Depending on situation, you might ask (or even hire) someone else to do the bragging on your behalf.
Have someone else say “You should all pay attention to Arshuni, the most awesome person in the world!”, then act like “Oh, you are embarassing me, I am just an ordinary person”, then have them list your specific achievements like “Arshuni is always so adorably humble, but in fact he achieved X, Y, and Z, isn’t that awesome?”, and then you conclude it like “I think anyone could have done the same thing (there are many other people who have Nobel price, too), and I also wouldn’t be able to do it without a bit of luck and a lot of help from my good friends (not that I am bragging about also having great social skills)… but please let’s change the topic now, and focus on the original issue of our meeting here...”
Must be done with some tact, and adjusted for specific culture or subculture, but I think many successful people do this. I think the typical solutions are (a) have allies who do this service for you, and in return you do it for them on a different day; or (b) hire professionals: art critics, or PR agencies; in addition to money, you could also pay them by flattery or sex.
