Hi PM Hut,

Thank you for taking time to comment and for asking a great question. I agree with your statement that it’s very important to not sound like you’re bragging when sharing successes. Speaking from my own experience, I have found that successes can be shared most easily when invitations arrive.

Perhaps the easiest and most comfortable place to share successes is with other like-minded people who are attracted to someone exercising self-leadership.  I have discovered though my own work that these people will openly seek you out and want to know more.  Humility is still appropriate, but it’s a welcoming and learning environment that makes it easy to talk about successes.

Another context that arises is when others recognize your successes.  As long as that recognition is humbly received and acknowledged, I have found that very few will recognize this as bragging but there will always be some who will see it that way.

Finally, perhaps the most natural way to share successes by not bragging is by being the change.  You will be an obvious and visible success to others.

Thanks again for the great question!
