@leadershipmel: Sometimes your experience working with a boss can leave you traumatized to the point where it impacts your self-esteem. Here are a few tips for starting your recovery after working for a bad boss. The first thing I want you to know is if you work in corporate long enough, you’ll likely have a bad boss experience. And for many of you, those situations will be traumatizing. It’s happened to me. And about 80% of the people I coach. So the first thing I want to tell you is “it happens”. Recognize it for what it is, which is simply a bad experience with a boss. For whatever reason, they weren’t able to, or they didn’t want to see the potential in you. And it freaked you out. But I also want you to remember that before you had this boss, you were incredible at your job. That version of you is still in there. That bad boss didn’t take those skills away from you. They don’t have that kind of power. I know it doesn’t feel like that right now because you feel traumatized. And you likely will have a trauma response for a little while. A trauma response is your nervous system trying to protect you. In those moments, you just have to breathe and remind yourself - I’m safe. It was simply a bad experience with this particular person. It sucks but it happened. And you’re still really good at what you do. If you want support getting through this and leveling up your value as a leader, book a strategy session with me to see if executive coaching is right for you. P.S.
