I think you are a lot more open and vulnerable than you used to be, this is helping with emotional regulation. I think your perseverance/doggedness is stronger than ever given how focused and prolific you have been with your writing.
Rating the part about the uncomfortable truth is tricky. In the story the Captain’s class book tells on the subject, the captain becomes a martyr. Standing up to his coach for blaming individuals for a loss earns him team’s respect and, allegedly, unites the team for a years of incredibly dominant play, but the same principles and truth telling also leads to the eventual demise of the captain. All of this to say that you may be doing really well in the truth telling department: your students have gone on to do great things and you have paid a price for standing up to the (corporate) authority one too many times.
So you're saying you're an edge lord? 😁 In my experience, most corporations are not able to sanction the sharing of uncomfortable truths. C-suite execs do not handle contrarian opinions or any kind of dissent very well: it upsets them, threatens to diaturb their worldview, and they feel the need to protect their egos by lashing out with reorgs, PIP's or layoffs.
Good luck. If you figure it out please share with the masses. The fragile egos of people at the top can break with the slightest of criticisms, amd I feel like that is a major problem in our society.

What a depressing conclusion to a series of compliments. 😔 thank you! 🙏 👍🏻
I feel this. As a captain I have gone down with my ship. At end of the day, that meant that I drowned - no advantage to me.

To be fair, many of my uncomfortable truths could have been phrased better. That's what I'm working on now.

Oh how I hate that I cannot fix a typo on the mobile app!
