I'm all for female liberation in some aspects like being given a voice at work, some respect when we talk, promotions we deserve when we put in the time and appreciation from our men. Personally I'm all for being able to give and receive advice end voice opinions without being shunned. I want to be someone outside the bedroom and kitchen and most of all I want to be useful to myself, friends, family and have good relationship with them.
So I've read some posts and heard some comments about how ladies want to take over from the men. That is wrong? We shouldn't want to take over, we should be allowed to participate. I shouldn't have to get a seat at the top of the table because someone doesn't want a lawsuit that paints him as a sexist or because I'm a pretty face that would earn more clients. I want a seat at the table because I've walked my butt off to get to where I am.
So I get the chance and opportunities or promotion I've been begging for I should know that it comes with responsibilities and more billable hours. And that brings us to our main topic.
Ways to unleash your BOSSETH:
First a Bosseth is a female boss. A female who is dedicated, motivated and consistent. She has to be an easy goer, friendly, respectful and most of all trustworthy. To achieve this title we must:
- Be Ready: To be taken seriously we need to be prepared. When we step out of our house everyday we want to look neat, clean and sharp, whether we are casually dressed or not. Our appearance and radiating smile are guaranteed to draw people and their attention. Getting noticed positively goes a long way to boost confidence and brings the very important self assurance we need.
- Dress Right: Different occasions with their recommended dress code. Our mode of dress is taken seriously, so if we want to be viewed as being serious minded females then we need to be appropriately dressed. These days less is the new more. A dress or shirt that covers the cleavages and that is more suiting of an office or business environment draws more attention and boosts confidence. A dress that exposes the boobs and a shirt that has more than two buttons undone does not speak of professionalism but is perceived as slutiness and nobody will care about your ideas and brain capacity when all they are focused on are your assets on display. Dress decently and appropriately.
- Be Prepared: You have to give a presentation and your materials are not well organised or are looking rough, the most common excuse is 'pardon my tardiness my kids snuck into my materials while I wasn't paying attention'. That's not an excuse. It's not a situation you should have placed yourself in the first place. At all cost your kids have no business playing with your work related items. You must keep them away from them at all cost. Your appearance and materials should be well researched, rehearsed, neat, clean and presentable at all times.
- Always Balance: So are you married or single? If you are married then you should ensure that you have budgeted quality time for your family. Before you request for an additional work load from your place of employment ensure you can balance both your family and job requirement. Your family and job are as important, so no one should be given more attention than the other. If the new job position is going to distance you from your family then you might want to consider not requesting or accepting the position and instead try to open a personal business that you can run comfortably on your free time so you get to spend time with your family. Then if you are single remember it's not all about working and paying bills oooo. Create time to chillax ooo.
- Work for it: Don't be lazy, distracted or neglectful of your duties. If you want to be a Bosseth then work your ass out for it. That way when it comes everybody would know you deserved it.
