Confidence
before you respond.
A little more perspective. A lot more moxie.
A glimpse of the Moxie Method
Her situation
“My manager is taking credit for my presentation in front of leadership. I'm furious but I don't want to look petty.”
See it clearly
The anger is signal, not weakness. What's underneath it is a real attribution problem — leadership doesn't know the work is yours. That's a visibility question, not a character question.
Name what's true
Your manager may be doing this deliberately — or by default. Either way, silence rewards it. The most powerful move isn't confrontation; it's a low-heat correction that puts the record straight in the room.

How people actually act under pressure — not how they say they will.

De-escalation and repair, without conceding what matters.

WHY I BUILT POCKET MOXIE
The coach I wish I'd had.
After years leading teams, navigating complex organizations, and helping others work through high-stakes decisions, I realized most people don't need more advice. They need perspective.
Pocket Moxie was built to help make sense of difficult moments before they become difficult outcomes.
