Accelerator 1: Environmental Design

Rachel accelerated integration by: - Changing her email signature to reinforce boundaries - Reorganizing her office to project confidence - Setting weekly coffee chats to build alliances - Creating templates for influential communication - Tracking visibility opportunities in her planner

Accelerator 2: Identity Declaration

Publicly declare your evolving identity: - Update your internal bio - Share your development journey - Ask for feedback on changes - Request opportunities to practice - Celebrate integration milestones

Accelerator 3: Failure Reframing

Integration requires experimentation. Reframe failures: - "That was awkward" → "I found an edge" - "It didn't work" → "I gathered data" - "I forgot to use it" → "I discovered a trigger" - "They reacted badly" → "I need calibration" - "I felt fake" → "I'm still growing"

Accelerator 4: The Integration Partner

Find someone else on this journey: - Practice together weekly - Share wins and struggles - Role-play challenging scenarios - Hold each other accountable - Celebrate mutual growth
