... today I'm feeling intimidated. I have to tell my current employer that I'm not going to continue working for her. My employer is a fantastic, strong-willed, clever female and I'm feeling intimidated!
Having to do this today, I have begun to ask myself, why am I constantly intimidated by strong women? I had this feeling of dread when I had to tell Canan that I was leaving because I feared my female bosses reaction. These feelings are crazy.
What is it in myself that causes my fear?
What is is about them that I struggle to deal with?
Comments/suggestions - post here please!

It is interesting because you are an honest person who tells people directly but the very aspects which attract you and (speculation: find attractive in safety - the comrade or friend who will be bold so you don't need to) you perhaps fear to be on the other side of that strong directed energy. I don't know.
I myself always find that when I am about to leave a job I feel I have not done enough, I don't want to tell the person I am leaving because in review I can only see my own faults, and what I could have done better - it is a negative self review. You don't mention this so I guess that isn't it. But maybe also because the situation can't be controlled, and people don't like to be in uncontrolled environments; stability lost - I only say that because I seem to have many, many people fear me and they say literally, "We can't control what you are going to say." - so, that must mean there is a fear of that.
I am sorry, I hope this does not offend, as I am just commenting but it is a sort of personal topic so I am not sure I should comment - you can delete if you desire.
