How to Become a Leader when you’re a Woman

In my Theories of Leadership class this quarter, we learned a lot of techniques to become leaders, but the main objective of the course remained to find your own leadership style, because that’s the one that would work best for you.

I have to wonder if that’s right, though. Because as I look back at the recent US Presidential election, there are clear patterns of which leadership styles worked for women and which didn’t.

What Women Really Want In a Man

Lance asked me to contribute my thoughts to his topic about how to make yourself more attractive to the opposite sex, because he was inspired by my post, Men Need To Grow Up?. Lance is a pretty funny guy, and his website is pretty entertaining, and I had trouble resisting his charm…

Men Need To Grow Up?

It’s “common knowledge” that women have always been the mature sex, thus absolving us from degrading terms like “child-man.” I put “common knowledge” in quotes because I still meet silly girls every day who continue to rely on their own childish techniques to get attention. I recognize them, because not too long ago I was one of them…
