With all the information that we take in everyday, it’s difficult to get a word in edgewise – so to speak. And yet unless people know what you contribute at work, all the effort you put in can pass unnoticed and unappreciated. While loving what you do can be enough at times, it’s rare to find someone who doesn’t care if anyone ever knows what they’ve contributed. Yet, bragging can be very uncomfortable. Maybe if we called it “self-praise” it wouldn’t seem to gratuitous. The truth is that it’s important to share what you do, especially at work — and equally important to do so effectively. There’s no need to pound people over the head with insistent claims of having done amazing things, but when it counts it’s good to know how to share what you’ve done well. Here are a few thoughts on how to make that happen. http://bit.ly/1ouhrDT
