A consultant’s job is to advise. If you balk every time s/he raises a question then maybe you’re not ready for the next step.
Things are getting tense, but maintain your business as usual demeanor. This signals to jumpy types that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t
A friend says you’re being self-absorbed. Ok, maybe, but why is this person being so accusatory? You can smell the distinct aroma of sour grapes.
You may feel emotionally drained but that’s not how you come across to others. In fact people say you’ve never looked better. Don’t disabuse them of the notion.
The best you can do is give a loved one sound advice. It may not sink in right away, but it will linger in the mind as words to the wise.
Refrain from arm-twisting. You won’t get anywhere with it and it will only come back to haunt you later.
