Entirely
to gain some respect and take me seriously
Most negotiations, a large proportion of which are job interviews
I reach a pinnacle of interviews are set up, with several each week. Coping with this pressure has been (a year ago, and previously...) can lead to a panic attack
It's approaching right now.
There has been success. I get into situations where I become lost in very different directions, if I should be the consultant who knows best, where some will listen and let me suggest a course of action, but otherwise I'm absolutely willing to follow others to give the orders. Clashes might be caused by my SA behaviour and their judgement. Some can't or don't want to get into the technical side which I do. My attempts to explain the facts can go ignored. Maybe I should pick a different metaphorical example to make it easier to understand, but effort made by the other party would make things better for all of us.
My current worry is my old classic of 'they don't know what they want'. Being shoehorned into a new job 'at the deep end' is something I adore. I am tolerant to bow down and follow orders with the motto of 'can do attitude', but with clear display of a set of facts for management people to show there were no data for... 1992. It was either not gathered or has been lost since.
All about appropriate communication. Kangaroo court is when people's judgement sprouts from those having trouble listening, if I'm seen as a geek / nerd who presents statistics. When office people jump up from their cubicle divisions waving arms, screeching, howling and whoooping, it's not my type of humour.
Still chasing interviews as they pile up, continuously learning to avoid any mistakes I made from the last time. It gets me in a good mood, but a lot of rejections can lead to a different type of passion
Yes. Personal confidence and pride, but it doesn't necessarily apply to others
