Reply To: How I handled a boss that talked down on me

Goksen, I see such courage in you.
When I started my career, I wasnt that brave. Difficult people intimidated me, and I would often hold back instead of speaking up. I spent a lot of time second-guessing myself, worried about how I would be perceived.
But somewhere along the way, something shifted. I made a quiet but firm choice. I dont want to be afraid anymore and will not work under fear.
Not of people, not of expressing myself, not of standing for what I believe.
It didn’t happen overnight; the process is slow, but once you decide, you can start seeing the change within you and around you.
And today, when I see the same fire in someone else, I feel – Keep going. Stay brave. Your voice matters.
