‘In business, it pays to build on your strengths - both what you’re good at and what you’re passionate about – including your strengths and aptitudes as a woman. It also pays to brand yourself and market your accomplishments’.

‘Compared to women, men wear a uniform to work. Women have an advantage because we have more “visual packaging tools.” We can employ a wide variety of clothing, color, accessories, hairstyles and make-up so it’s easier to stand out. And from a personal branding perspective, being noticed is important. Don’t mimic the male model – that’s so 20th century. Use the French women’s model: dress like a woman and accentuate your best features. If you don’t have the body of a fashion model, do something wonderful with your hair and clothing. Develop a distinctive look with a signature color, accessories and so on. Work on your posture and how you move’.

‘Women have the social gene and an innate ability to build relationships and connect with people. Women are natural born networkers, team builders and relationship mavens’.

‘We are going to have a better life when feminine ethics, which value much more cooperation than competition, will penetrate the public life’ – Sandra Pralong.

In public, professional or private lives, generally speaking women are more after the win-win situations where men are looking to prove ‘I am the best. I win and you loose’. Mrs Sandra Pralong, United Nations consultant, is coming to outline this in her recent interview in ‘Cariere’  - Romanian leadership journal.

In the same interview we find a very useful information for us women and for men too. United Nations provided an indicator of human development. In the top of high developed countries are Iceland (before the financial crisis), Norway, Canada, Australia, Holland, Sweden etc. Romania is on 62 out of around 180 countries. These countries have many women involved in the public life and in politics (Romania is on 70, after Republic of Moldavia when about women involved in politics).
Mrs Sandra Pralong finds an interesting correlation between women in politics and wealth. This correlation is not analyzed as a cause-effect relationship.

‘(…) the presence of a certain ethics – the feminine one – and also of a certain way to manage the matters of the human fortress provides much more wealth, measured as human development’ – Sandra Pralong.

Women live in a world of men.
Women have different resources than men which together reunify a single whole.
Generally people are looking to reach their success outside their own entity when an essential element is given by their own wealth. The success is not placed somewhere, this is to be found in each of us. Such a truth I believe everyone discovered at a certain moment in their lives, as I also discovered quite soon and as also the great minds of this Earth maintained (i.e. Oprah Winfrey, Einstein, Jack M. Zufelt etc).
To win the respect of ourselves I believe it is the most important thing of our own identity. As also it is important our internal resources to find the right frame in the outside world and so to encourage our good evolution as people and business partners. The external environment tends to become as important as our internal set of resources or wealth.
For every man it is important to do what he or she likes to do in their lives. So much true for us, women. All of us, the women must give a great attention to our biology: how much further I can activate my body when we professionally want to extend more and more or gear-in our drive, as we say in business. This is because there is a strict link between the resistance of the physical body and the business projects we plunge into. Read more »
