Women Are More Than Emotions

As women we like to distinguish ourselves from men based on our emotions – women are more empathetic, nurturing and compassionate.

But we have to ask ourselves:

How do our emotions benefit us in the workplace?

Years ago, when women tried to assert the value of our emotions, men just looked at us and mocked:

 What are you going to make us do?

Sit around holding candles and sing?”

Touting our emotions didn’t get us anywhere.

After that we got lost. We didn’t know what unique value women brought to the workplace. We didn’t know what would make a workplace say, “We need to hire and promote more women!”

So, we fell back to the stereotypes and that is where we have been stuck for decades.

It’s actually gotten worse. The media loves dramatic, emotional women fighting over insignificant issues. Women in politics love to yell at each other and call each other names. Everywhere we look we see emotional, yelling, fighting women.

This is why one of the first videos I made is:

It’s way past time for women to stop believing we are driven by emotions. We have a miraculous, powerful, wonderful brain.

And once we start applying it, we will change the world.
