The subject of women in business is looming - on paper and in my head.Ms.D and I have talked about what it's like to be a business woman in an executive work environment.
At one point I asked her about high school.
"The word that used to come back to me was snob," she said. "It’s all the same theme. You know whether someone in high school called me a snob or someone today tells me I’m unapproachable or uses a word like “intimidating” or “aggressive” or “type A” … it’s the same word. It’s the same thing. It’s the same feedback."
I'm asking myself:
- what personality traits does a woman need to be successful in business and how can those traits be cultivated?
- about the idea of friends in the workplace: necessary? doable? sanity-saving? a good strategy? overstepping? alienating? risky?
Oh man.
I've been following along on occasion and I just wanted to let you know that I find this (the story of Ms.D) very interesting a topic in many ways!
It should not be that I am the only one using the women's bathroom at work - and anything that explores why it is so, is fascinating!
