Visibly demonstrating impact and value of work is as important as creating impact and delivering value.
Growing up many of us have been taught that our work needs to speak for itself , not to talk of it and to stay humble.
I have seen many a competent person fail to get adequate opportunities to fulfil their potential because of this self-limiting belief.
One can stay humble, while showcasing impact. The key is to practise detaching your ego from your work and creation. Think Sundar Pichai and the way he talks of the work at google and its impact on people or AR rahman and his acceptance speech at the Oscars and you know what I am talking about.

NOT EASY. Unfortunately, of the many important attributes at workplace, humility is consistently overlooked. Maybe because it is the most misconstrued quality, as many feel that people who are humble are easily bulldozed by others and aren't willing to stick up for themselves.
