Looking back at others' supportive/complimentary comments helps me keep faith in myself. I use Google Documents and email labels/folders--usually "Comments by others" or "What others say about me" to remind me it's not my opinion. :-) Google Notebook or Evernote work great for capturing comments on the fly; but GDocs or Word keep a copy even if the online note (like a tweet or blog) is deleted. I have a few printed out, but I need to expand that file. :-) <abbr><em>mousewords’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mousewords-writing/~3/nba_zHPLQfk/" rel="nofollow">Blurbling</a></abbr></em> I started doing this about a year ago, and it’s a necessity!

You can also maintain a hard copy file, just print out the emails and stuff every time you get one worth saving and place in the folder. They are also good to review at the time of year when you have your annual review (i.e. if your company performs these). You can help your supervisor remember some of your accomplishments.

Quite sure the title is borrowed from some writer over the years. My definition of the Victory File.... Inside this file resides short write ups of the business victories I recognize. Included in my file; an abstract of a particularly satisfying sale, short description of the connection I shared and its unintended positive consequence, items I overheard acted on and the "win" this action delivered, achievements my direct reports gleefully reported that were the result of my suggestions, or coaching. The value of the Victory File should be obvious... for me, I like to be reminded of the value others gain from my participation. Enjoy! Daniel:
