July 18, 2006Is Pippi Real?
There are times I find myself feeling frozen, knowing I have to speak my truth, but feeling too overwhelmed to speak. Instead of just squishing it back down and locking it away like I used to do, I can imagine a tiny Pippi inside me whispering the words I need to say. All I have to do is open my mouth and let them fly out.
I thought a Pippi was a “virtual” reward, like an “Atta-Girl”. Is it real?

Pippi is a 7 inch stuffed giraffe that I award people for sending me stories. I am a bit behind in sending them out at the moment because I’ve been upgrading the “medal” around her neck to an I Said It Strong medal. As soon as my Pippi Awards are ready again, I’ll send one to you for the success story you sent which I include n this issue.

My experience with a boss that likes to demean people was terrible. I went so far as to write word for word what she said and it still was not good enough for her. I would have to rewrite documents 7-8 times.
I did document what she did and I left after 4 months for another job I truly love. I requested an exit interview and left them with my documented incidents. She was finally fired about 2 years later.
