I love this, Chase. You are giving such hope and strength to so many of us. Your video reminds me of a time when I took a job at a hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on a dare. When I got there, I found that my supervisor was this angry, bitter, gray-skinned, doughy, American woman who had convinced the director (also American) that 6 people who came before me didn’t know what they were doing and were incompetent … and now I was the seventh. After I had only been there for a month, she tried the same tactic on me. I was called into the director’s office and told that I just wasn’t working out because my supervisor (let’s call her Karen) didn’t think I was able to do my job. I was shocked because I have never been told that I was incompetent at my job in my life. I told them that I was aware that they had done this to 6 people before me. I told the director that I was angry, but not just angry at my supervisor for lying – I was also angry at him for never questioning how it was possible that 6 people in a row would be hired for this job and all 6 were incompetent. How could he drag 6 people to Saudi Arabia and then just dismiss them so poorly. I told them that I would leave, but before I leave I was going to tell them what was on my mind, since they dragged me half way around the world for a job that was basically a set up for abuse. I told them that I had worked for prestigious hospitals in the U.S. and that not one of them treated me as if I were incompetent. Then I asked them if they really believed that those hospitals would keep someone on if they didn’t know what they were doing and I told them that I was one of their best employees. Karen then said, “Well, that’s arrogant.” I said, “No. That isn't arrogance. That is self-confidence. I know what I can do and I know I do my job well. I have self-confidence and apparently you don’t, which is probably why you keep getting rid of anyone who is hired - because you feel like they are a threat to you. You need to get some self-confidence instead of trying to sabotage other people to make yourself look better. Long story short … I was not sent packing. Instead, the director asked me to come and work with him, which put me in a position of power over Karen. I didn’t take advantage of that position, but I will say that once she was exposed, she ended up quitting within a year. Self-confidence saved me, even when I didn’t know it. I was just not going to leave in silence with my tail between my legs. I credit my Irish/Bohemian grandmother with teaching me to never let anyone treat you as if you are less than them and never be afraid to speak up for yourself. Be calmly confident and if you have to walk away, do so with your head held up.

"I forgive myself fast and forever with no exceptions. I choose roles with intention. I will never wait for social permission or evidence. That all comes from inside of me. I regulate before I perform. My confidence is a habit, not a tactic. I give myself full authority because no one else has the ability to."
