THE BRAG BOOK SPREADSHEET
Wins, Feedback & Impact Tracker
A brag book is not boasting. It is an evidence file: the dated, honest record of what you actually did at work — your wins, the good words people said about your work, the times you led without the title, the training you finished, and the results you can point to. When your review comes, memory fades. This record doesn't.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Type only in the pale yellow cells. Grey cells are formulas — they count and total for you.
2. Log things while they are fresh. Two minutes at the end of a good shift beats an hour of guessing in December.
3. Keep it honest. Log only real work and real words, exactly as they happened — the record is the product, and an honest record is the only kind that holds up in the room.
4. The Evidence Summary tab pulls your whole year onto one page by formula. Print it and bring it to your review.
5. The Quarterly Roll-Up counts each quarter for you and leaves space for each quarter's top 3 wins.
THE TABS
Wins Log — date, project, your role, the result, a number that measures it, and where the evidence lives.
Feedback & Praise Keeper — the exact words, who said them, when, and the situation. Write praise down the day you hear it.
Leadership Moments — times you led, covered, calmed, taught, or fixed — title or no title.
Professional Development — courses, training, and skills, with dates and hours.
AI Wins — work where an AI tool helped, what YOU contributed, and the real result. Log only real use and real results.
Evidence Summary — your year on one page, counted by formula, with your top 5 results by measure.
Quarterly Roll-Up — per-quarter counts plus room for each quarter's top 3 wins.
PLEASE NOTE
A planning and practice tool — not career coaching. Promotions and pay decisions are always your employer's. What this workbook does is help you keep the record: your wins, your evidence, and your words, ready.

THIS IS YOUR BLANK COPY. Your purchase also includes a DEMO copy filled in with a made-up sample worker, so you can see exactly how everything works before you start.
WINS LOG
One row per win, while it's fresh. The Number / Measure column holds the size of it — units, hours, people, parcels — say what it counts inside the Result.
FEEDBACK & PRAISE KEEPER
The exact words people say about your work — written down the day you hear them, word for word.
LEADERSHIP MOMENTS
Times you led, covered, calmed, taught, or fixed — title or no title. This is the evidence promotion cases are built from.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Courses, training, and skills — with dates and hours, so growth is a record, not a claim.
AI WINS
Work where an AI tool helped. Your contribution is the headline — log only real use and real results.
