I am known for that phrase. It's one of the reasons why people like to work with me. I like to think of the other person first.
However, I have never had anyone say to me, "Well, that's a dangerous thing to say to a man" until this week. When he put out the offer for me to become his personal travelling masseuse, I knew the conversation was over.
If a man is having a business conversation with another man, it is just that: strictly business. How is the same type of phone call with a woman different?
Anyone who knows me knows that this is not a bash against men. I was just shocked because I have never had a businessman talk to me in such a manner. As you can guess, I will not be HELPING him anytime now or in the future.
I would love to hear from you women (and men). Post your experiences on the Gold/Platinum member listserv and let me know your story.
So I was just watching NBC's morning show when the "Mommy Wars" topic came on. I just don't understand why we are beating around the bush. The real issue is how and when will Corporate America catch up to the needs of the modern family. More and more families are trying to make it work (men and women), but the corporate structure is still set up for the traditional family unit and functions, which for the most part, no longer exist. Here is what I feel we should be focusing on:
-Flexible Hours when Possible -Childcare Opportunities at the workplace location -Maternity for Both Men and Women
I feel very strongly that when we as a business culture step up to the plate with these items that we will find stronger, happier, healthier families, which will then directly effect people's communal environments, as well as, their working environments in a positive way.
Wow! All of that before coffee??? Thank God it's brewing.
I have to laugh anytime I read an email or a post that states what a person needs or wants me to do for them, but yet doesn't ask me what I would like in return. In order to get someone to help you, you MUST create a WIN/WIN.
Here are 3 easy ways to create a WIN/WIN:
1) Turn Me! Me! Me! into You! You! You! Ask, "How can I help you?" and come to a mutual agreement.
2) Listen: Really find out whether or not the person is in a place to help you out. Also, read between the lines to see if there are any needs that haven't been verbalized.
3) Send a thank you. This will keep you in the forefront of that person's mind.
Remember, this is YOUR business! Only YOU can Grow it to Success!
