    Adopting a Boris Johnson

    Got called into a meeting this morning at Tulip Death March Project inside Tulip ClientCo.

    Was feeling rather frustrated a little annoyed and seriously down beat.

    Decided that was not the attitude to take into a meeting, so went with an adopted Boris Johnson approach.

    To my surprise it worked, came out of the meeting having kicked the can down the road and a smile on my face and tulip PM seem to warm to me, me thinks

            Meeting was called at very short notice, I certainly could not go in being myself, that would simply equate to termination.

            I could be the scientific know it all super brain but that would alienate the PM in 10secs flat.

            I could be the frustrated individual who refuses to beat the PMs drum, once again termination.

            Or I could be Boris Johnson, use his charm, wit and humor plus a sprinkle of vulnerability. Bingo, job done!

              Do remember that a Boris is not just for Christmas.

                With a brian the size of a planet he does a very good job of hiding it.
