The Top Ten Ways to Use Your Female Advantage in Business
The conventional wisdom has been that women have trouble succeeding because they don't act like men. But playing it like a man doesn't work, because it brands you as tough and aggressive. And it's stupid for the most basic reason. We're not men. And that's an advantage. It's common sense to be authentic, and it's smart branding. Your personal brand must come from who you are and what makes you tick - including your strengths and aptitudes as a woman.

Theories on NLP
Bandler's First Institute of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ and Design Human Engineering™ has this to say about NLP: "Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ (NLP™) is defined as the study of the structure of subjective experience and what can be calculated from that and is predicated upon the belief that all behavior has structure....Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ was specifically created in order to allow us to do magic by creating new ways of understanding how verbal and non-verbal communication affect the human brain. As such it presents us all with the opportunity to not only communicate better with others, but also learn how to gain more control over what we considered to be automatic functions of our own neurology."

I DIDN’T SAY THAT!
It is imperative that we stop and think about the messages, verbal and non-verbal, that we are sending. We think about how we present to others by making sure our personal style, fashion, hair and make-up are sending a clear message about who we are, but often times don’t take the same care and diligence to ensure that our verbal and non-verbal communication are presented to give the same message.
MAKING GREAT PRESENTATIONS
Presentations should be fun, entertaining, informative, engaging and useful. So why is it that they are often confusing, boring and unimaginative? I bet more corporate hours are made putting together endless PowerPoint slides than almost anything else these days and to what effect? Of course it is something we all need to do and when progressing up the corporate ladder it is an essential skill to get right. Research on verbal v non-verbal communication is interesting. It suggests that the receiver trusts the non-verbal aspects of the speaker more than the actual words. So hold back on the overuse of PowerPoint slides and make sure you consider the ‘how’ as much as the ‘what’. The following article is a summary of some of the things I think you should consider when you have to make that all important presentation.
There Is No New Normal
A friend sent me a description of a speech entitled, “The New Normal.” I’d seen that phrase before. Heck, I’ve used the phrase before.

But what if the real powerful 'change agent' in such cases is neither the Hard Line nor the overly 'Soft' line? I mean, a careful balancing of both the soft and the firm in a nuanced message? Try it! Miracles may occur....
