My FTFB

Last night I got together with my former temporary fabulous boss (FTFB). Mary. Mary is whip smart, confident, pretty, and pretty amazing. I had the pleasure of working with her when my regular full time fabulous boss went on maternity leave. I learned a lot from Mary- how to keep my challenging direct report in check, how to be more confident, how to think about what an executive wants to see when presenting to them.

So it was a real treat to join her after work for a drink and a nosh. We met st the bar at Compton place, elegant, like she. She insisted on buying dinner and we sat and talked for about two hours- about what she's doing, and what I'm doing and should be doing.

She urged me to take care of myself, told me I was underutilized/ underemployed and that I need to have more confidence in myself. Basically she gave me a big boost and kick in the ass. It was great.
