Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • The project is wrapping and everyone’s just drifting off to the next thing with no acknowledgment of what we built together
  • My boss took a real chance on me and advocated for me, and I just took it and moved on without ever closing the loop
  • They handled the money, or the cooking, or were just the person I leaned on
  • When something goes well I tend to quietly absorb the credit or just say "great team effort," and I never actually name who did what
  • Someone gave me real time and good advice, and weeks go by where I never circle back to tell them I actually used it
