Working Successfully With Men In Your Business! (Second Part)

Ask For Help When You Need It!


4. Never underestimate your EQ (Emotional Intelligence)

  • Anyone can learn skills, but EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient) is a well-developed part of a women’s DNA.
  • Own this part of yourself, honour it and use it – in business and in life. Our ability to empathise, enthuse, motivate and empower should never be seen as less crucial than other, intellectual, skills.

5. How we behave in groups

  • Men and women react differently in groups. Men will often scan the room for enemies and find the nearest exit (escape route).
  • Women will scan the room for friendly faces, who they can build rapport (relationships) with.
  • This makes us much better at networking activities, group situations and team building. Know it, honour it and use it.

6. Use your non-verbal communication skills

  • Women make brilliant detectives; combined with our listening and seeing skills, our ability to pick up clues from people’s non verbal communication is excellent.
  • This allows us to be excellent team members and managers as we are aware of group dynamics and, combined with our EQ skills, ensures we are more effective at dealing with conflict.

7. Ask for help when you need it!

  • We don’t have a problem asking for directions if we get lost, so don’t hesitate to ask for help with your work if you need it.
  • The strong manager/leader of people is the person who is able to recognise they are not brilliant at everything.
  • Asking for help shows humility, authenticity and instils a trustworthiness from others that being a ‘bull in a china shop’ is never going to achieve.
