For those "personalities" you refer to, I can't wait for their approval of my presentation, or nothing will get done. My personal power will be a source of irritation to them, no matter anyway.

Call me a cockeyed optimist, but I think it's possible to be both harmonious and distinct. Like the French horn played in the orchestra.But now that I understand your priorities, I will respect them, even if I might not agree with some of your conclusions about the most effective ways to change hearts and minds.
I do see that you are trying, and I respect that. Peace and good luck in your quest.
