Friday reflection – nothing but the truth – 5/15/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I had no choice but to drop truth bombs today. Let them fall where they may. I’m okay with either being fired or walk away. I won’t let anyone lie and pronounce my name in the same sentence. The sponsor sent the budget back for correction and answer some…

My co-workers battle – 5/14/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Sweet lady, very giving, and I have worked closely with her and I help her willingly, it’s a give and take. She was so worried today that she had done something wrong. Why? I ask. She explained someone emailed her about not meeting deadlines and she was confused. She…

Too nice?! – 5/13/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I do too much for others outside my official role. I always extend a hand to assist others and help when they ask and get them ahead. I ask myself, “Do I have a tattoo on my forehead that asks to come to me I will help you?” I…

Missed the party – 5/6/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. It is not easy to agree with me or to agree with the ideas of others. I try to be flexible. Working for MD’s and managers is confusing because they want one thing one day and change their mind the next. We’re in agreement with most of how I’m…

Expert, not – 4/21/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. So, the Sr. Manager struck me as an HR expert, but to find out that the program teams are the ones that are the real experts and do most of the HR tasks. She’s mostly just pushing paper to our central HR team which is the “real” HR team.…

Difficult conversations – 4/2/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Having difficult conversations has become a regular thing for me. I learned to speak up for myself, but it’s ignored. At least I said it and I can move on. I’m being asked to make decisions and communicate those to the MD’s and certain things that should happen and…

Last call! – 04/01/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. The title of my blog entry is the same as the email I sent today. “Last call for budget needs.” I used this phrase to capture the attention of my audience, LOL! No other way to do it. I needed them to review their budgets to be sure they…

Was I reprimanded? And she’s MIA – 3/18/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was having a good morning getting my day organized and chatting via teams with Director 2 answering questions regarding her budgets. Then she began to explain to me that she had an awkward conversation with MD “LAU,” “I was given a directive that I am not the head…

What is she stuck on? – 3/17/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am just laughing so hard despite the annoying events of today. It’s not funny because there’s important work that takes place, but this woman takes the title “stuck on stupid.” I have never seen it anything like it before. There is one thing that you are intelligent and…

Friday reflection – pushing through – 2/13/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I have had challenges this week, but people are beginning to listen and are accepting guidance. I do have people on my side and that’s okay. Despite the many of negative responses and emotions from others I’m holding strong through my experience, facts, and authenticity. A problem-solver I’ve become…
