Can You Be Femnine at Work?

by Cherry Norris, "The Hollywood Dating Director"

I've been bombarded lately with articles and seminars on how women can be more feminine in the workplace.

This cracks me up!

Why?

Because work by nature requires a masculine skill set.  Period.  When you work, you produce.  You're active.  You're doing.  You're accomplishing things.  That's what work is.

When you're feminine, it's all about how you feel.  You feel good to do good.  Yes, you might feel good wearing sexy stilettos and a tight skirt on the job...but that doesn't automatically make you feminine.

So can you feel good to do good in the workplace?

Maybe. 

Usually at work you have to meet deadlines, make sales calls or close deals in order to get your paycheck.

Feeling good at work over getting your job done will most likely get you fired or put you right out of business!

Years ago, I decided to run my business as a feminine woman.  (After all, I'm in the business of teaching the art of femininity.)  And guess what?  I went out of business.  Very quickly I might add!

If I didn't feel like it, I didn't work.  I didn't give myself deadlines.  I didn't produce.  And within a few months, I didn't have a business.

So the question becomes "Can you be MORE feminine at work?"

The answer is Yes.  Absolutely.  You can.

1.  Look Good

You can dress well.  You can wear form fitting clothes, a nice skirt, heels and make-up.  You can dress like a lady and you will be noticed.

And being noticed can make you feel really good.  Especially when compliments are coming your way! 

Presenting like a feminine woman goes a long way at work and in your romance.

But...you already know this.

2.  Speak Respectfully

How you communicate with a man can have him collaborating with you or competing with you.

When you know the art of "man speak" at work, you will find men cheering you, championing you and doing their best to keep you happy so you'll stay on their team.

A colleague of mine works at a prestigious Chicago law firm.  She uses dialogue she learned in The Role of a Lifetime: How to Star in Your Own Love Story at work.  Do you think the lawyers in her firm appreciate how respectful she is?  You bet they do.  They adore her!

Do you think she feels appreciated by the men she works with?  Oh yes.
 
3.  Turn a Business Deal into a Date

If you work with men, you have an incredible opportunity to audition and present.  And if you know how (and when) to flirt appropriately, you can easily and gracefully turn a business deal into a date.

This is a great way to use your femininity in the work place.  As a woman, your brain can go from business to pleasure in an instant. 

So when you catch that cute guy by the water cooler or at the lunch table, use your feminine ingenuity.  This way he'll see more than your business mind...he'll see your sensual, playful side as well. 

And you never know where that can lead. :)
