The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one April 19-21, 2013. What good news will you add to the brag basket? I think we could all use some good news after a week with too much bad.
Don’t hold back because of that word, “brag.” When you hold back, you hide your good news and accomplishments that might inspire others. Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing.What can you do in the Brag Basket?
- introduce yourself
- share some great news from this week
- congratulate a friend
- laugh about something wonderful that you tried that failed
- applaud for each other
Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. It lets you meet each other a bit. Reading each others’ stories brings us a bit closer to being a community.
How does it work? You write a comment on this post. We all cheer, and everyone feels great.
This is not an ad. (I delete the ads.) If you talk more about the people involved than the things, you’ll be fine.
It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

After a year of adding Analyst Relations to my job description, I was on a call this week in which the prospect found out about the company and products through our Gartner analyst. Yippee!

Yay! Congratulations, Heidi. That’s another example of a long-term effort paying off.
