Can You be TOO Feminine?

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Mary Gardner I have a client, Ill call Julie. Shes a beautiful and fit woman that Im working with on the phone. Shes polite and sweet and extremely smart. I enjoy her immensely and shes working with me to get better social skills and so she can work better with men. I guess Im pretty good at this. I grew up with a mom who had 8 brothers. My dad had 7 brothers and I have 2 brothers of my own. I have a sister too but when I was younger I was the girl in the neighborhood who would compete with the boys while playing kickball or pickle in the front yard. I liked to win. My sister was more into crafts and sewing. I picked those up later, but was never as talented as my sister in domestic things. I was the one who had to learn how to be feminine. I was always one of the boys until college when I realized that I wasnt being treated special by the guys at all. They were rough and tough around me and didnt hesitate to talk down to me either. I remember once in college I felt Id had enough. I was a freshman and hanging out with the football players. They all liked hanging with me but when it came time to ask the girls out for a party, I was the one stuck at home. I decided to change that in the blink of an eye. I disappeared. I no longer went to the cafeteria to just hang out every night. I ate at another location and basically didnt reappear for another month. When I finally decided to make an appearance.. I was a bit coy about where Id been. I had lost a few lbs but didnt show up in sweats any more and didnt laugh quite as loud as before. Guess what happened? They all asked me out!!! I finally realized that to be treated like a QUEEN, you have to BE A QUEEN!!! It was a lesson I never forgot and its allowed me to be treated well in business and my personal life my whole adulthood. I demand to be treated well. I leave if Im not. So, MY lesson was how NOT to be ONE of the boys!!! The lesson my CLIENT is learning is to BE one of the guys! First of all, what are the advantages of being a woman in business who can yuck it up with the guys? Well, there are times where shes going to be their boss. Shes going to be the one bearing bad news, or the one praising them, or the one selling to them. If she feels comfortable and can be their friend, then there wont be the uncomfortable tension that sometimes happens between men and women in business. Many women who didnt have the advantage of growing up with brothers or being an athlete view men as a mystery. They havent figured out how to talk with them (to the point and share INFORMATION, not STORIES ) and they havent learned how to be treated well by them. (confront them for bad behavior or dump them!) But how can a woman, who is used to being so feminine get to the point where she is comfortable with the men? I read a passage from a great book to my client today. Its from Women who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, societys attempt to civilize us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. YES!! This is what she needed to hear. I actually told her she could try being more MASCULINE. I challenged her to go to a few rodeos, whoop it up with some cowboys who ride bulls, go to a few sports games and sit with the rowdy folks, wear jeans, drink beer, go camping, get her hands dirty, take pottery lessons, and do some loud belly laughing! She was amazed! No one had EVER told her that she could try being more MASCULINE in order to get along better with men. I assured her that there would be NO way that shed turn into a man eating monster but that shed just get the feel for what its like to be more comfortable with that wild part of her nature that she wanted to nurture. She loved it. I did too. Its something Id never really coached on but it was definitely a lesson that Id like to give to women who are too stuffy, too conservative, too suppressed, too domesticated or TOO FEMININE. Being feminine lady is a wonderful thing. but abandoning your masculine side will make you slightly uncomfortable and fearful in the presence of others. While men will appreciate your sophistication at a dinner party, they may avoid you while cutting lose. Weve all heard how much business is done on the golf course. Thats because people do business when they feel comfortable with others. So ask yourself.. are you comfortable with others in every situation? If not, then push yourself to be in situations that potentially make you uncomfortable. When you can be comfortable with being uncomfortable, you are on your way to making others comfortable too. And that is the BEST trait of a sophisticated lady! Mary Gardner, The Charisma Coach! is an Executive Communications Consultant and Trainer.

Business Finance Degree

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Kristy Annely Knowing the differences in managerial practices in different countries is interesting. There are, for example, great differences among mangers in the United States as opposed to other countries. With the increasing investment of foreign firms in the United States, the syllabus of business finance is giving more attention to the integration of managers and workers from other countries into American society. This need is highlighted in that the number of inters company transferees has more than tripled from the late 1970s. The Japanese, for example, often find it difficult to be outspoken and direct in interactions with their colleagues and superiors. People from Arabian countries usually find American teaching methods too impersonal. One can learn various approaches used by the managers to reduce culture shock. These include special programs about corporate life in the US, as well as instruction in English, books and movies and tax advice for newcomers. International business finance is essential in the curriculum of a business finance degree. The study of international business finance focuses on the operation of international firms in host countries. It is concerned with managerial issues related to the flow of people, goods and money. The ultimate aim is to manage more effectively in situations that involve crossing national boundaries. The environmental factors that affect domestic firms usually are more critical for international corporations operating in foreign countries. Managers involved in international business finance are faced with many factors that are different from those of a domestically oriented firm. Managers have to interact with employees who have different educational and cultural backgrounds and value systems. They must also cope with different legal, political and economic factors. Thus, these environments influence the way managerial and enterprise functions are carried out.

When are You Getting Married?

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

By Peter Portero If you are in a relationship that has lasted longer than six months, chances are you will start hearing this question soon, if you havent heard it already. Most of the time it will come from nosey relatives or from caring friends, but no matter who it comes from, it can be quite annoying. While it is nice to think of yourself marrying Mr. or Miss Right, there is no reason to rush things. Marriage is such an intense and important thing to uphold, you really cannot afford to get it wrong! So, before you start stressing on how often your family and friends ask you when the big date is, you should know what you want. Of course, if you have been dating for years, and there is still no talk of marriage, you might want to sit your partner down to chat about your future together. Overall, you should just blow this question off with a sarcastic answer like In 35 years! to get your friends and family to leave you alone for the moment. If your partner is near, he or she will likely appreciate you addressing the issue with humor as well. After all, what you decide to do as a couple is really only your business.

Quit Being Fast Food Diet Stupid!

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

By John Christian Sebastian What is this that I keep seeing about fast food diets? I do a ton of internet research day in and day out, and I keep seeing articles and web-sites containing information in regards to fast food diets that can still keep you thin and healthy. What can I say? I suppose that I can understand the point of view of the fast food industry to reflect this opinion; its in the interest of their self-preservation. However, I can only speculate as to why anyone else of any other affiliation would even think about justifying a fast food diet as being healthy. The term fast food diet is an oxymoron! True, if you eat fast food regularly, you are in fact surviving on a diet that consists of fast food. However, you are not, in fact, on a fast food diet. A diet, in every sense of the modern meaning as it applies to weight loss or healthy eating, cannot come even close to being in the same family as fast food. We are not even talking about distant cousins, twice removed, re-instated through marriage We are talking about the fact that there is no such thing as a fast food diet. Fast food can be utilized occasionally to replace healthy food because you are on the go and have no access to food that you have prepared yourself. It is a temporary fix for the problem of not having access to healthy food. However, it is not meant to be eaten solely in a fast food diet. We as Americans have grown lazy and dependent upon the fast food industry. They know this, and prey upon us because of this. The concept or term fast food diet, I am sure, was even invented by one of the fast food conglomerates in order to try to gain leverage upon the health conscious Americans who have begun to educate themselves upon the dangers of eating fast food on a regular basis. You are smiling at my comment and thinking to yourself, this guy is crazy, or that would be funny if it were true. However, if it is true, is it truly funny? How else do you think that the fast food diet came to be? You come up with a better idea and let me know. Business is business, and money is money. Fast food is a business and needs money to survive. If you were to suddenly decide not to eat fast food anymore because it was unhealthy for you to do so, then they have lost their business and they have lost their money. So, lets create a term fast food diet and let Americans think that it means that they can lose weight, and eat our food while doing so! I swear, there was a moment of silence in my mind after writing that because I know that a ton of us fell for it! The fast food diet caught on faster than a California brush fire during a drought! Do not be suckered into thinking that counting calories and eating healthy is the same thing! Yes, they are listing fast food diets that you can partake in which list items off of the various fast food establishments menus in order to eat a less than two-thousand calorie fast food diet daily. This can give you some quick results in weight loss due to your body burning more calories in a day than you are taking into it with you shiny new fast food diet. However, while it is getting thinner, is it getting better? What attributes and vitamins and minerals is your body getting from these menu items? Are you truly getting healthier, or do you feel yourself drained of energy and getting sick more often? The fact of the matter is that your body does not get anything healthy from these menu items which will enable you to maintain the weight loss that you accomplished from the fast food diet. Your fast food diet has forced your body to actually break down muscle tissue as well as fat in order to get the necessary proteins and vitamins that the food is lacking. So, why eat a fast food diet? The best fast food diet is the one that refrains from eating any fast food at all. You can watch your calories, and still get all of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. You can eat negative calorie items that are full of anti-oxidants and anti-carcinogens which will actually prolong your health and your life on this planet. The truth is that the fast food diet is simply a way to keep you coming back to get your fix from the fast food pushers. As I said, the fast food industry serves their purpose. However, do not let yourself be fooled into thinking that eating a fast food diet on a regular basis is going to lead to any long-term positive results.

How Many Online Dating Messages does a Man have to Send to Get Even Just One Date?

Monday, July 16th, 2007

By Mike A. Thorpe I’ll bet you had a rush of optimism when you first started online dating. All those women, all advertising themselves as being AVAILABLE! But statistics show that there are more men signed up with online dating sites than women. So right from the start, some men are going to lose out. And most men are more focused initially on meeting ANYONE than a potential Ms Right and they send out messages to dozens or even hundreds of women. That means that even fairly average-looking women are getting more messages than they can cope with. So if you send out a message to your absolute favorite on the site, that message has to compete with many others. Don’t feel bad that she doesn’t reply. She has already realized that it’s impossible to reply to all the messages she receives, not even with the pre-written ‘brush off’ messages that some sites provide. So you start to play the game too and send out multiple messages. And because you couldn’t possibly write an individual message to each woman, you send out so-called ‘carpet bombs’. Hey - you have to realize right now that you are perpetuating your cycle of failure. The more messages you send, the less individualized they are and the less your chances of getting a date. Yes… more messages = fewer dates! I learned early on that it’s important to have a proper plan rather than act out of desperation. I describe in my book, ‘Online Dating Tips For Men’ on page 110 how you should divide women into five categories and send them different kinds of messages, with different degrees of individualization. I follow that plan strictly because I know it gets results. But when I’ve done that and sent out all my messages for the week (I like to work to a weekly schedule so I know I’m not going to be overloaded with dates) I have some fun… Yes you can have fun with messages. Typically I’ll have a beer to ‘loosen up’ my thought processes, then I’ll click through some profiles to find one that catches my interest. And then I’ll very quickly fire off a one-sentence message based on something I’ve seen in her profile. I’ll be quite cheeky sometimes - I don’t feel any pressure to succeed because I’ve already carried out my plan and I know I’m sure of dates. This is extra. And you know what? These quick-fire messages often get the best response. And by being a little bit cheeky, I have already set a good ‘tone’ for the date. It’s important to remember that carpet bombing doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time. Instead, form a plan, or use mine from ‘Online Dating Tips For Men’. Send out messages selectively with the right degree of individualization. Send out some quick fire messages too. Soon you will be able to work out statistics that tell you how many messages you need to send to get a date. You know, so many men get hardly any dates through online dating, or even none at all. But it isn’t rocket science. An average kind of guy like me can get plenty of dates. You just have to know how to play the game. About the author: After a ten-year marriage, writer Mike Thorpe found himself once again on the dating scene. His early difficulties with online dating led him to develop a framework with which any man can travel step-by-step from early ‘getting to you know’ with a woman all the way through to a successful relationship. ‘Online Dating Tips For Men’ is available as an e-book from http://www.online-dating-tips-for-men.com Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Mike_A._Thorpe http://EzineArticles.com/?How-Many-Online-Dating-Messages-does-a-Man-have-to-Send-to-Get-Even-Just-One-Date?&id=244061 diet their loss their order if pill with weight into lose from weight we byworkingout you fibre it diet by lose them weight where in between weeks said and might training such

Graduate Schools

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

By Kent Pinkerton A program of study at a graduate school is the next step for the academically inclined, after an undergraduate or bachelors degree. Knowing and understanding what graduate schools want is vitally important, as you can then alter your work experiences and skills to evolve into the ideal student they are looking for. Admission to a graduate school requires the submission of a transcript, GRE or other standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, a personal statement and/or an admissions essay. In addition to all this, some schools also schedule a personal interview for the finalists. An applicant needs to be careful when filling up the application forms, as incomplete applications are summarily rejected. The transcript is a record of academic progress. It is generally not a part of the application sent by the student. The transcript is forwarded by the registrars office at the college or university. If applicants want it included as part of their application, they will need to fill out certain forms giving the details asked for. It would be wise to begin this process early enough to avoid any delay while submitting the application to the graduate school. Most schools ask for GRE (Graduate Record Exams) scores. Law, medical and business schools ask for LSAT, MSAT and GMAT scores respectively. The purpose of these exams is to assess a students potential for graduate level studies. The GRE is scored out of 2400 and most acceptable scores generally fall in the range of 1800 to 2000. As most schools need to sift through several applications, they apply cut-off scores to the GRE. Only applications above the cut-off scores are considered. While reviewing applications, graduate schools look for certain qualities that will ensure that they admit promising students. They try to find students who are eager to take in knowledge, have motivation and the capability for success. Students should indicate that they are open to guidance and supervision. The essay or personal statement that accompanies the application should be able to convey this message. Graduate Schools provides detailed information on Graduate Schools, Best Graduate Schools, Graduate School Rankings, Graduate School Scholarships and more.
