Women are becoming more and more prominent in work environments demonstrating their special skills that help them succeed in a male-dominated career. Recognizing one’s strengths, gifts and talents can be very powerful.
Effective communication is a skill that is vital to success. There is an increasing need for the ability to communicate with written and spoken words. Additionally, women are natural communicators. Even at a young age, females excel at verbal fluency quickly finding the right word, phrase or sentence. Thus a woman who is managing other people must know how to communicate with each person individually in a manner that each person can understand. When women embrace this knowledge and trust their natural language talent in communication, they will find their confidence build.
Helen Fisher author of The First s*x states, "Women are, on average, more interested in cooperation, harmony, and connections – a network of support." She further writes, "Women characteristically believe everyone can succeed in business; they take a win-win attitude in the office world."
Women are also skilled at multi-tasking. They are pros at juggling people, reports, deadlines and all the necessary resources which are critical to the success of the team or project. Even back in ancestral times, history shows a woman had to take care of babies under highly dangerous conditions demonstrating the need for multitasking even then. Mothers had to do countless daily chores while they took care of the family, stoked the fire, cooked the food and talked to friends.
