A barrier overcome

A meeting with very senior manager about vision for developing future servicesin respiratory health.
Anyone who knows me knows that i am manager phobic and I was dreading this meeting.
However I decided to employ some of the things i had uncovered during my reflections module.
I accepted even before the meeting that this person would be under her own pressures and that I would not pre judge the situation.
What a useful meeting. she listen closely to my propsals and the fact that I had highlighted some of the possible obsticles and more importantly how we make get around them.
She did ask me to do some prep work but I managed to get the deadline extended after I explained about some of the other project I was working on and that were near completion.
I even had time to talk about FC and my plans to use any new skills I have gained.
I feel that by approaching the whole session in a more positive way we both felt that the meeting was fruitful and some of the myths I had built up were dispelled.
I'm not really sure what has brought about my increasing confidence but I am sure that some of it can be attributed to what i have learned about myself during the last 2 modules.
