When I worked in corporate strategy, an exec snapped at me in a meeting.

Raised voice. Tight room. Everyone went quiet.

I assumed I’d messed something up.

Later I learned the numbers had just fallen apart.

The board was arriving that afternoon.

Three decisions had failed that morning.

The reaction wasn’t about me.

It was pressure spilling onto the nearest surface.

I didn’t enjoy it, but it taught me something.

👉🏽 Here’s a framework for not taking things personally.​​
