Be real. No more witty catchphrases, showering of praises and attention or continual pats on the back. Being in a corporate environment often makes me feel like a misshapen blob trying to into a neat mold. I wonder what it would feel like to have the corporate tones resonate (it must feel good) but then I think I am OK with not being swayed, not being neat, even though it creates a chasm.
Neat molds are over-rated. People want to appear to be powerful, confident, and capable, and in doing so, hide their fears and insecurities - everything their not sure about - and there is this illusion that every one fits in except for you - why can't you show your fear and your feelings of not being sure? Who decided that this was a sign of weakness?
