    Having moved to a new house, she spent her days pottering around in a “dera.” She had a strong desire to tell the caretaker that his was not the “real” Elishibah. She wanted to tell him and the world that the real version of the woman in a dera was a corporate titan who wore power suits, crafted strategy and influenced policy. Being let go from a job that she loved and was thriving in hit her hard. Her confidence was shattered, she questioned everything. She didn’t want to be the woman who asked for Salon money from her husband because after all she was highly educated, intelligent and independent. Watch this captivating story as she narrates how she handled the humiliation subsequently rose from the ashes.

    Thanks for sharing this story, Elishiba. I hear you about becoming presumptuous of success. And also on the need to find identity away from titles and perceptions. You've always been a great example, a beacon of light....and you continue to shine bright and show us that it's not always easy, but we are bigger than the challenges in front of us. Also, as someone who sends emails at night, point taken 😅😅😅. All the best!

    From experience,an employee should never replace family time with working hours because when the employer decides to let you go,they never remember the sacrifices you made.
