Because you’ve hit a ceiling

You’ve risen in your organization, but you’ve hit a ceiling.

It took you a long time to realize that at some unspoken moment, the people at the top of the organization decided that you don’t have what it takes.

You’re not the same as them.

They’re convinced that people who dress the way you dress don’t have what it takes.

They’re convinced that people who talk the way you talk don’t have what it takes.

They’re convinced that people who behave the way you behave don’t have what it takes.

They’re convinced that people who look the way you look don’t have what it takes.

You know they’re wrong.

You know you’ve got what it takes to rise further.

There’s only one way to find out.
