meeting your goals doesn't mean "go it alone"
You did it.
You’ve invested a season or more of your precious time and resources to work on your own professional development, with me as your guide.
You’ve handled shitty bosses, dead-end roles, racism and sexism in the workplace, layoffs, acquisitions, and death by a thousand reorgs.
In our work together, you’ve learned to seek your own consent first. You’ve demonstrated the ability to ask yourself “under what conditions am I willing to accept” the tasks, responsibilities, and ways of working your employers are offering in exchange for your paycheck.
You are Doing The Damn Thing.

💜 I am so stinking proud of you 💜
You have made what I've come to call the “Inner CEO Shift.”
You have honed the ability to discern what is and is not in your power to control or effect.
Instead of pointing a finger at someone or something else who needs to change, you are now using that power to advocate for yourselves and your people.
You’ve survived institutional betrayal trauma and not only lived to tell, but are thriving in your new improved life and role, with the confidence that comes from evidence that you can trust yourself to make good decisions, even under stress.

Turkeys gonna keep turkeying
I am sorry to report, however, that despite our best efforts, corporate fuckery appears to be on the rise.
Here are some of the things clients have texted me WHAT THE FUCK about this year:
꩜“ I left the company offsite on Friday, but my boss stayed and redid all of my work over the weekend! I found out Monday morning when a colleague asked me questions I couldn’t answer about work I was proud to have completed. What the actual fuck!”
꩜ “OMG Billie, they disbanded my entire project team, then mostly re-banded it after folks complained, without a few key members who had been quietly laid off. What the fuck are we supposed to do now?”
꩜ “One of my direct reports tanked my review rating, complaining that his well-documented performance problems were my fault. What the fuck? How could I possibly be any clearer about the expectations he’s been missing?”
꩜ “They posted the new org chart, and my team is someplace completely different from me, PLUS it looks like I’m in a role and department that has nothing to do with my primary area of expertise. What the fuck, this is not the job I signed up for!”
꩜ “I got poached out of my job into a higher-level role in a “better” company, but they put me under a green manager who’s threatened by my expertise. Now all I do is redo the same presentations over and over. What the fuck?”

your chief wtf officer, reporting for duty
All this pervasive corporate fuckery is why I’m now calling myself the Chief WTF Officer.
I’m “coming out” (again) and reporting for duty NOW because none of us has an extra ounce of precious energy to spend praising the Emperor’s fine invisible suit.

You have access to a sanity check, in your pocket, at all times. And I don’t mean ChatGPT.

꩜ Decode the corporate fuckery to figure out what’s really going on
꩜ Assess your options and their possible impact
꩜ Decide on the next, strategic right action that’s aligned with your goals and your nervous system
