listen to those suspicions

today i'm being reminded, yet again, to listen to the hair standing up on the back of my neck and the voices in my head that simply didn't believe the gig was worth it.

thought i'd pass along to everyone, especially those in a consulting role: if a potential client seems difficult, they probably are as dysfunctional as you suspect.

this is a problem for me because i seem to have a knack for enabling difficult people and unfortunately the corporate world is their habitat. there are some problems that can't be solved because the folks involved don't want them solved.

listen to your instincts. work with people who "get it!" that's my mantra
