An additional element as well, sometimes the hardest part isn't realizing you're in the wrong room, it's admitting you've been renovating it for all the wrong people. A nuance, and of course, you addressed speaking to the wrong people, but many times unconsciously we change things in our rooms for the people that don't 'work'.

And yes, I have realized this. In the middle of a career change, in my first presentation. I realized it was like hosting a dinner party and I don't actually have to serve food I hate to people who don't appreciate my cooking.

It was my shortest attempt at trying something different for the sake of a buck. I went into work aggravated with myself for doing it for money, and I left happier than I had been in years.

Yes! Renovating for the wrong people (and reasons).
