Got a full weeks meetings all day lined up starting tomorrow and I wish I had the guts to just do this. We've been at this for years and it constantly gets derailed by the smallest things.
We are probably starting with "analyzing what's been working for us".
I'm not the boss on this one, but I have a voice. I suffer from feeling like I'm 2 inches tall sitting in a room of giants. Confirmation bias is the rule of the day. I feel like imposter syndrome is going to make me start my childhood stutter all over again.
I'm just unloading rocks.
But you folks, I hope you all have the best week!

Don’t make it personal. Talk in terms of concrete project constraints (staff resources, time, expertise). Try to bridge gaps in understanding. Show up prepared with ancillary documents to support your case. Take notes, get decisions and action items added to the final meeting documentation, follow up with an email listing the decisions and action items.

If you feel dwarves by everyone around - become the note taker and moderator. Hijack the whiteboard, draw the lines, make the lists. Keep pushing the agenda of the meeting. The meeting must end with a todo list and a deadline by which the list is finished.

This is your only goal.

This movie was awesome but I can’t remember the name. Something about armadillos.

Necessary Roughness. The Armadillos was the name of the team.

If you go back and look at it, it was essentially The Replacements. Same basic concept. Great team loses all its players, has to field a team of misfits, relies on an aging quarterback who left the game years ago and is doing blue collar work to come in, learn to be a leader, gets into a bar fight with the bad guys, and then pulls the major upset.
