By personal arena do you mean at work or in casual interactions?

I think it depends on the conversation. Don't be a walking resume` but if something is discussed where you have some experience, expertise, or that relates to an accomplishment, mention it if you feel comfortable enough to do so. Just mention it without taking up too much of the convo and either boring or annoying everyone else.

This is why the book I mentioned at the beginning of this thread is so valuable. There is a way to 'brag' without being obnoxious.

I bet if we were to ask the fellas about strategic bragging, they would have some interesting perspectives and tips.
