I figured it would be nice to have some self love over the holidays and this is a pretty direct approach.
I can start:
I like my curiosity. I like wondering what would happen if I did things differently and so I’m open to new approaches and experiences. What about you?
a former boss called me a “leadership challenge”, which was basically code for “you don’t react when I yell at you and I don’t know any other way to be in charge”).
This is such a great power play, because it isn’t even a power play. To you, this is nothing. To your boss, it was everything.
