I handed over my transition and timing plan

I managed to get a meeting with my Director on Tuesday morning after calling him Monday to ask for a 30 minute meeting.
He managed to spend just under 7 minutes and a minute of that he was on the phone.
I handed him my timing time plan on which I had listed the steps we need to take to manage the announcement of my transition and put a time frame for each of the steps.
It showed when I first told them and each meeting that has happened so far. It also shows my recommended steps moving forward, including them contacting a specialist outside person to help and advice.
It proposes my full time date as Monday 27th September.
I have booked the week previous to this off already and do have a spare weeks holiday left which I have proposed to take the week before that. This means my last day presenting as a Male would be Friday 10th September.
I will take the 2 weeks off and then return as me.
I guess shopping for work clothes amongst other document changes will be in order!
He looked at the plan and read the steps.
I explained that I wanted to meet with him and my MD on Thursday / Friday when our MD is back. He then told me that he was out on Thursday and tied up on Friday.
I said no problem I will meet with our MD myself. I also told him that whatever happens those dates are fixed so if no meeting is held than another week has gone with no agreement.
I am away for a week at my Brother In laws house on the coast next week, so I explained that if we do not meet before that then I definitely want a meeting the week after.
I know how things work at my place and so now they can see my plan with dates on it, it will ramp up the pressure to a degree that they have to do something.
I am doing it in a friendly but businesslike way just as I would with a customer. Pointing out the risks if actions are not taken in a timely fashion etc, but also showing the benefits if we do this properly.
The sooner I get a true picture as to their intentions the better. If they are not on board with this then having a final cut of date will force other possible outcomes and focus minds.
I hate to approach this in such a calculated way but I can’t see any other way of showing them that it will happen and they must come to the table and join the party!
After he left to go to a meeting I made my way to a couple of meetings with customers. I stayed away overnight as they were on the South coast and I managed to meet with my counsellor for dinner. She really is a wonderful woman and has a lovely sense of humour.
It gave me the chance to chat through what’s happened so far along with a few other things.
I also realised last night that the only time I feel self conscious when out is when I have to speak.
Finding the right voice to suit me is a challenge and I am starting to put more time into it now. That said I don’t let this stop me from talking!
We will see what tomorrow brings when our MD is back.
