“What are you working on?”

“I’m coding the front-end for the new workflow designer – it’s been really exciting work because I know our customers are going to love it. We’ve already gotten good feedback in usability reviews, and they specifically liked one of the improvements I suggested which allows them to add a new field on the fly while building a workflow.”

Are you bragging?

Tell the truth.

Your turn! Turn to the person next to you and brag. Then self-promote.
