Given this, if I do decide to run, I need a make-over. A propensity for putting my foot in my mouth, shooting from my hip, overruling democratically made decisions and stock phrases like "trim the fat", "leaner and meaner", "efficient and effective" and "measurable". I have to work on sanitizing myself of fuzzy words like "collaborative", "inclusive", "consultative" or "anti-oppressive". I had better start now. Refashioning my image, rehearsing the choice jargon, sharpening my elbows and getting in and out of embarrassing situations does not come easy to those who lack the natural talent for it. I need the time before the next elections to rehabilitate myself and to build the right kind of brand equity. Oh yes, I will hire Lindsay Logan as my coach!
