Ok, and my sucky therapist? I told her how I would handle a leadership role within my dept and company. I told her that competitors that offer the same services make certain industry-relevant team trainings mandatory. Well, I told my therapist I would make another training for my team mandatory, IF I were promoted to a leadership role. We've already completed several mandatory trainings, so this would not be anything out of the ordinary for my team.

My therapist told me NOT to pursue such an idea, because my team may not "like" a "mandatory" training, and they may therefore not like me as a result. What is she, driven by fear? Afraid to make positive change? This is why I say my therapist is passive.

I know from having worked in similar companies that these trainings would make us far more effective as a team and as a company.

But my stupid annoying therapist poo-pooed the idea and totally shot it down. I am still SO angry at her. She's supposed to encourage me, inspire me and help me.. she is doing the exact opposite. Grrrrrrrr.

I am starting to become eager and anxious to meet with my .CEO again to present my ideas. I feel the need to approach him SOON, since we're losing important business and since maybe I could help turn that around.
