I agree that often society encourages us to step back from taking ownership - or responsibility might be a better word - for what we do well. Of course, I'm not really sure that I "do" this work, but it certainly seems to be using me, so to speak, as a conduit. Which is pretty amazing, and certainly something for me to appreciate and be grateful for! Alistair – Thank you!

Sometimes we do good work. Sometimes we do a good deed. Sometimes we enable someone else's development, or progress. And sometimes we don't give into the the self deprecating mode society seems to expect, and celebrate the fact that we have done well. Good for you. Nothing wrong with modesty, or self deprecation in its place. There is, as they say, a time and a place for everything. Including feeling good about something you've done, and celebrating it.
