It's Time

So I am roped in to this group coaching class at work that is supposedly an honor to be a part of. It's the first ever time they have done this and they brought in some sort of "talent maximizer" specialist to work with the 10 person group of us. I find myself seriously struggling with the directions and teachings of this "expert". She seems to truly believe that there is a difference between influence and manipulation when I just see them as equally yucky things. I feel like they hired this person to teach us how to fall in line to values of our managers which are, in my opinion, misguided and just... yucky. I don't want to end up changing what I feel is right and wrong. I think I have a pretty good grasp on what keeps me feeling like a good person and I don't want to change my personality to play a corporate game. I do struggle with what would be letting myself down by not pushing forward and kicking some butt my way in this company. 

And with that, I give you Imagine Dragons - It's Time.

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
