One of my favorite shows!
I LOVE the Fast Company article on dressing and looking good for females in power positions, particluarly the comment that
“There were so many meetings where I didn’t feel like I was being taken seriously as a CEO. I feel like I had to up my appearance to command authority. I would sit in the meeting, lead the entire presentation, and every question would be directed to him. That’s when I started paying more attention. I spent a lot of money trying to look the part of the high-class CEO that they were expecting.”
This is so me! Even tho I still look good without makeup, the manageing partner insists I wear the nicest of clotheing (which he pays for), and have regular blowouts and go to periodic visits @ Elizabeth Arden for new beauty secrets. I think it helps b/c men take me seriously and other then the schmoes that just want to pinch my tuchus (and elsewhere), I have more credibility as the next manageing partner and chief rainmaker at my firm.
I encourage all of the HIVE to do as I do and hopfully, we will all be leaders that important men treat seriusly, not just as fresh meat for them to have $ex with. FOOEY on that!
