How to be Taken Seriously in Business

Show Who is Really Wearing the Trousers

Know What Behaviour Is Right And What’s Wrong

As intuitive, intelligent women, you will quickly identify when someone is showing a negative or unprofessional attitude towards you. Send out the behaviour you want to get back for example, be professional, stay positive, be hard-working, be interested, be informed, be adaptable. Once you set the boundaries for the behaviour you want, and lead by example as any role model should, you will benefit from that behaviour coming back.

Dress For The Best

To be taken seriously in business, you must dress for the situation you are in. You do not need to dress like a male, but you do not need to strut your female bodily charms too much either. Depending on your industry, fashion expectations will change.

It Is About What You Say And How You Say It

If you run your own business, or work in management, you will always be working on your professional image in order to ensure you are taken seriously. That image extends to the ways you speak to others in your business discussions. Young women, and those starting out in their careers may be less confident and learning the ropes, and this often reflects in their speech. A soft or uneasy voice in delivery of a business idea will not help in your desire to be taken seriously. Swearing will also not do you any justice.

Be Informed

Read the news, be an active business networker, know what’s going on in the area you work in, the latest trends, who is who in your company, their roles and those in your clients’ companies. Actively learn, always be tuned in and if you need more information, don’t be embarrassed to ask for help or enrol in further education or courses which will better your knowledge base.

Believe In Yourself And Others Will Believe In You Too

Women often lack confidence in the business arena, and one of the biggest clues of this is in your body language. Take note of your language, are you appearing quiet, nervous, do you cross your arms, do you fidget or move around a lot? Look at yourself and look at others you admire and observe their body language.
