How do you share your successes with your boss?

In my experience at the last 5 years almost i used to rely always on a monthly KPi progress review with my boss through a well prepared dashboard using power PI , its a fixed appointment on our calendar and i would be always ready to show up and share with him my dashboard to ensure updating him Another slot would be in the mid ywar review which is more holistic for my startegic objectives Adhoc achievments i dont need for meetings with him and i use the normal quick drop messages channels like whatsapp or online over zoom

Keep The Emphasis On Your Hard Work Say, “I worked really hard to make this happen.” Listeners will respect your triumphs when they know you put in a lot of effort. Don’t Belittle Other People Avoid disparaging remarks about other people. Give Credit Where It’s Due Acknowledge the team, friends, or family who helped you along the way. Stick To The Facts Sweeping generalizations and positive labels equate to tooting your own horn. Stick to self-disclosure, rather than self-praise and you’ll sound more authentic. Express Gratitude Make it clear that you don’t think you deserve good fortune simply because you are a great person. Expressing a little gratitude will show you are down to earth.

In my experience, it’s not bragging if it’s based on fact! Take advantage of 1:1 opportunities to fully promote yourself and display recent wins

While sitting next to my boss and keeping her in loop for most important projects i keep my mouth open and prefer to brief face to face before drafting a formal email with fact and figures. Trust between boss and subordinates is very important but documentation of fact based communication is inevitable.

Be Bold. Be Strong. Be Assertive. Be Fearless. Be Smart. Be Concise. Be on Time. Be a Thought Leader. Be Unstoppable ! Feel the Fear but Do it Anyway !

I always use the dashboard matrix designed into anpresentation using power PI And i always use either emails and/or live meetings or whatsapp channels for quick things

As you consider the format and channel that will be ideal based on the dynamics in your situation, it's important to keep track of your progress and achievements all year round. Always on conversations are great, however, most people lose talking points to showcase the great work they have done all year round when it's time for mid year or end of year reviews. One way to ensure you are keeping track is to have a live document you update periodically that serves as a growth/achievement or success tracker for you. Apart from helping you remember your contributions to your organisation within a given period, it can be a confidence booster and reminder that you can deliver much more.

Success has to be conveyed in a format, which can reach to maximum. as we are in the competitive edge. each move should be counted. Townhalls/Tech celebration has to conducted on periodic basis to showcase the team's achievements.

Think about their DISC profile here: be ready and willing to break the information down into THEIR language. D: bullet points, results first & straight forward method I: Tell the story, share details around obstacles overcome and how you got there S: Talk about the ripple effect on how this win impacts the team or long term strategic plan C: Keep it straight forward and be ready to answer a couple of questions, they’re applying the win to additional areas If you don’t know your boss’ DISC, look at how they share information, that’s typically a good indicator to how they like to receive information.

In my experience helping many women steer their careers to advancement (and increased pay), having an impact tracker (aka brag book) is ideal. Track KPI’s relevant to the job, any feedback from colleagues, project results, material savings or revenue generated, anything meaningful to the job. Align yourself with colleagues who have your best interest and be sure to note wins during meetings, both from yourself and your team. At the end of the day, being humble doesn’t pay the bills. As women we have to highlight ourselves and others so we can grow and have more opportunities.

Represent your wins accurately and clearly. - Summarize succinctly (under 90sec) with the background, contribution, and impact. "The product team and development team encountered a missed deadline due to misaligned expectations; after identifying the problem, I met with both teams and facilitated, documented, and shared agreed upon timelines; as a result, we met our next subsequent milestone and are on track for the next 2." - Keep your audience in mind, including enough detail to communicate your point. - Include your why: "this is important to me because effectively liaising between conflicting stakeholders is a skill that sets me for success in my goal to be promoted to director this year."

Sharing successes with your boss is a personal journey that reflects your dedication and contribution. Here's how I approach it: ? Preparation: I gather evidence of achievements. ? Connection: I request dedicated meetings. ? Specifics: I articulate accomplishments aligned with goals. ? Numbers Matter: I highlight quantifiable results. ? Team Recognition: Acknowledging colleagues' contributions. ? Gratitude: Expressing appreciation for support. ? Future Plans: Discussing next steps. ? Open Ears: Welcoming feedback. ? Documentation: Follow-up emails for clarity. ? This personal approach strengthens bonds and ensures recognition.

Focus and value. Both these words are like two side of a coin. Focused one brings out the value out of it. Team which is continuously focused on upskilling and demonstrating significant contributions should be recognized. Recognition shows the impact & value of each individual in bringing collective success. Also, to note that failures are also to be considered as lesson learnt and must avoid those mistakes in future.

100% give credit where credit is due, and give generously! Especially if you want to be in a leadership position. Highlighting other’s contributions and insights is paramount to being seen as having leadership potential. Being humble goes a long way.

Communication is two-way. End your sharing with your leader with: "do you agree? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this now."

As per my personal experience, I use to communicate info via email and share insights in very selected words with pictorial references and ask for feedback and suggestion for further improvement. I give my feedback too on how the situation treat me and how my organisation pave the way and appraise my boss for his continuous support.

Depending on your career goals, you should also share your successes with other key stakeholders within your organization. This allows you to knowledge share and network with others at your company. You never know where your next opportunity will come from.
