I don’t need everyone to like me anymore. What a relief!

I am getting really good at saying no, and not trying to fix every problem that comes my way. 

Some examples:

Sometimes I ignore dumb email requests at work!

Sometimes people describe problems to me and I am able to resist jumping into fix-it mode!

I gave an employee negative feedback on his performance today (deserved) and didn’t even feel bad about it! Normally I would do the shit sandwich approach. (Praise + Constructive Criticism + Praise.)  Best part, I think he took it better too.   

I’ve got that sober swagger going on. 

Look out world!
