Hi greenshade,

If you think your work or your relationship will disappear by a mere tone of your voice… LET THEM! And we’ll celebrate!

The best parts about speaking up (there are so many):

1. It gives them the optical illusion that you are a strong entity. An entity who matters. An entity that doesn’t fear being fired or broken up with. An entity who fully expects to have her needs met.

2. Every time you speak up it gets easier and easier.

3. If someone dares fire or dump you they will quickly realize that you are hard to replace. They will see you galivanting around in a new, better job/relationship.

4. If/when someone asks why they fired/dumped you they will say, “I didn’t like her tone” and sound like an idiot.

Best,

Inky
