I led a successful meeting where I was under a lot of pressure, and afterwards the attendees gave me a lot of praise for it. I did a lot of preparation and am proud of the outcome, but it was only me from my team so my boss has no way of knowing how well I did. If I tell him will it sound like I’m bragging?
