It can be a bit daunting to find yourself the only woman in the room regardless of whether important topics are under discussion or just everyday technical or administrative ones. In either situation sometimes women can find themselves marginalized or having to assert (or defend) the veracity of their claims more strongly than they bargained for!

It’s easy to leave meetings of that sort feeling like an alien being and tempting to go to the next one w/a chip on your shoulder but neither of those responses is PRODUCTIVE.

Women who find themselves in such meetings over and over must develop some unique communication skills to handle male dominated meetings.

Sometimes I need a little help to prime the pump, so I turned to [b:For Women Only in the Workplace: What You Need to Know About How Men Think at Work|10970485|For Women Only in the Workplace What You Need to Know About How Men Think at Work|Shaunti Feldhahn|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328080154s/10970485.jpg|15888522]. I found it informative (if a bit dated in its perspective –but the author argues the average man's communication skills might not have evolved as fast as workplace expectations for equal treatment of women?)

It is based on a previous work titled [b:The Male Factor: The Unwritten Rules, Misperceptions, and Secret Beliefs of Men in the Workplace|7621355|The Male Factor The Unwritten Rules, Misperceptions, and Secret Beliefs of Men in the Workplace|Shaunti Feldhahn|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1277074066s/7621355.jpg|7067195].

The one I read, reports the same research and information presented in The Male Factor, but further ‘focuses on the unique needs, interests and perspectives of readers of faith’ which is not the audience I usually strongly identify with! But, it was worth the read, and I'll now also be turning the pages of [b:The Male Factor|7621355|The Male Factor The Unwritten Rules, Misperceptions, and Secret Beliefs of Men in the Workplace|Shaunti Feldhahn|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1277074066s/7621355.jpg|7067195] (no pun intended?) too.

For Women Only in the Workplace : What You Need to Know About How Men Think at Work

Shaunti Feldhah

Book Description: Do You Know the Unwritten Rules of the Workplace?
As a veteran of Wall Street and Capitol Hill, Shaunti Feldhahn knows that even the most experienced Christian businesswoman can inadvertently sabotage her career simply because she doesn’t know how her male supervisors, colleagues, and employees think. For Women Only in the Workplace gives you startling insights into the expectations and perceptions of men at work. Whether you work in a corporate setting, a small business, or a ministry, you’ll find Shaunti’s research invaluable as you discover:
• What you need to know about a man’s hidden insecurity
• What “it’s not personal, it’s just business” actually means to men
• How men view emotion in the workplace—and what they consider to be emotion
• How what you wear can significantly hinder your effectiveness at work
• The secrets to being strong and competent—without being viewed as difficult
Based on eight years of intense research, extensive interviews, and national surveys of more than 3,000 men—from CEOs to assistants, from factory workers to lawyers—For Women Only in the Workplace gives you the keys you need to be who you are and be respected and successful wherever you work with men. Includes a group discussion guide.

Book Review: I found this book insightful. I did not agree with everything in this book, however I did think that there were many things worth learning and understanding. The best way to use this book is to glean information and work with everyone as professional as possible. While there is a treasure trove of research I also think there are just men (and woman) who are just difficult based on the fact that we live in a fallen world. The best that we can hope for is that as a Christian I can use this information to build up people around me.
I would like to thank Above the Trees and Multnomah Books for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone. ( )
