Stay or leave: either way, move confidently forward in your life and career.
Is this you? Maybe...
- As you walk from your car to the office, you feel a put of dread in your stomach. What new criticism is going to be yelled at you today that you'll just be expected to suck-up?
- You wake up in the wee-hours, your mind turning over and over-again what you could have done to stand up for yourself better.
- You open yet another demanding email from your boss and you feel like exploding. She will just not stop micromanaging you.
- As you put down the phone after a conversation with HR you feel utterly defeated. They just told you to "work it out between yourselves." You got not support or understanding. You don't know what to do next.
Now imagine...
|
You’re in your boss’s office announcing your resignation. Relief and pride and gratitude wash over you. You’re not just leaving all the misery and toxicity behind – you’re saying what needs to be said, with complete confidence and grace.
What the organization does next is up to them. You are going to be just fine. |
Morning coffee in hand you scan your emails and agenda for the day. You catch yourself humming.
Meetings don’t feel like ambushes and emails missile attacks anymore. People may be worked up – but you? You’re serene.You savor the moment, still humming. |
|
You pull into your driveway and savor the moment before getting out of the car. Six months ago work was bleak and miserable. And now…? Everything is different. You’ve have the space to actually do your job. You gather up your keys and walk into the house with the smile still on your face.
You did it. You had those hard conversations. And it worked. |
As you get back to your office after your first performance review on your new job, you do a big "Yeah!" fist pump. You had a few touch-and-go moments with your new boss. But you knew exactly how to handle it. And now he's your biggest supporter.
Tonight, you're celebrating in style! |

The mental health impacts of bullying and toxic environments are very real. Depending on how long you've been in the situation, you may very well also want to work with a therapist.
