Your boss liked it?
Your colleagues liked it?
Sam liked it?

You came through without a glitch?

You closed a deal?

Someone praised you?
Someone got angry?

No-one pulled their smartphone out of their pocket?

Someone posted a photo of a slide on LinkedIn?

You got an email from someone thanking you for how you changed their life?
