October 20, 2007Power Phrase: The secret of how to be an assertive woman without inviting the “B” label

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

I closed a casual email chat with a highly successful friend by mentioning I was writing about how to be an assertive woman without inviting the “B” label. He didn’t think it was difficult. He said,

  • Simple: hang out with enlightened men.

It’s true! Who knew! And when a woman stops trying to convert the unenlightened masses, she discovers  that there actually are plenty  of men who are perfectly happy to let the women around them be strong – even when it’s inconvenient for the men.
