The Capability Quest: From Fear to Power

If you’ve ever been invited to a “capability meeting,” you know the feeling — the panic, the confusion, the sense that the machinery is already moving against you.

That’s exactly where Elara starts.

She receives a vague email. She feels the fog. She thinks she’s being pushed out.

But step by step, she learns something life‑changing:

Capability isn’t a verdict. It’s a process — and the process must be fair.

Elara begins to fight back with clarity, not fear.

She uses the Jargon Buster to cut through HR‑speak. She separates disability leave from sick leave. She challenges vague PIP goals. She demands medical evidence before decisions are made. She records every skipped step in her Evidence Log.

By the time she reaches the final meeting, she isn’t afraid. She’s prepared. She’s protected. She’s holding the company to the standard of the law.

And the machinery stops.

Elara gets her adjustments. The process is paused. Her career continues.

Her message to anyone facing the same storm:

“The manual is in your hands. You are ready.”

If you’re navigating capability, start with clarity. Document everything. Know your rights. And remember — if the process isn’t fair, supported, and reasonable, document the jam.
