Learn how to harness your unique feminine qualities for a more holistic approach to success. “That is the feminine advantage. We get ahead by leaning into what makes us different from business as usual.” Do you ever feel like the only way to get ahead in your business is to be a more masculine version of yourself? Maybe you find yourself downplaying your natural strengths because they don't fit the traditional business mold. Welcome to episode one of The Feminine Advantage: An Empowering Series for Women Consultants. At this time in history, we're witnessing the rise of the feminine. How do we bring that into our businesses? In a classically masculine field like business, there's a tendency to bring a ton of masculine energy in. Too much, though, can create a toxic work environment like many of us experienced in corporate settings; overly competitive, scarcity minded, controlling. Conversely, too much feminine energy can lead to passivity, a stagnation and excessive emotionality. These are, of course, generalizations and in no relation to gender. There’s masculine and feminine in all of us!  This special six-part season addresses the challenges and opportunities for women consultants.
