LOOK AT HIS TINY BALLCAP. LOOK AT IT.
Been waiting all season for this!
I wrote about narcissists, sociopaths, & Machiavellians in the office, aka THE DARK TRIAD. I did not name that, but oooh I love it. Let's learn to recognize the pattern and do something about it. alanakaren.substack.com/p/truly-awfu...
Are you blocked at work by someone in particular? Take a look at my advice for dealing with the sub-optimal people in our workplace. You know I wanted to title this week's newsletter something else :)

Super teaser! Next Substack is up all about Vision. I assert there are 3 types. Wanna argue? Go check it out :)
I'm diving into meatier issues over on my Substack: this week's delves into what we've gotten wrong about leadership, its duty to serve others, and what we can individually do about it. Take a 👀!

On it. Moving business from Amazon and Target there.
Migraines too. It's the swelling I think.
Writing satisfaction! I just finished my first new chapter for The Adventures of Women in Tech second edition. I have to edit, of course, but all 21 pages exist. A page turner about how Tech got so dang traditional. I can't wait to share it this Fall. Posting teasers on LinkedIn :)
Going to start posting here too in an effort to stop actively supporting bad people. Good times.
