Difficult Happens; Effective Communication for Bosses

Have you ever found yourself engulfed in a project, focused on the little details like font or style, and before you realize it, hours have passed?

Guess what? You were distracted. Distracted does not always mean bouncing from one task to another or getting lost on Facebook when you should be working on a report. You can be hyper-focused on a task but be focused on something that does not serve your end goal.

In the end, it doesn't matter why you were distracted. The effect is the same.

174 The Masculine Feminine Myth

What kind of energy do you give off? Do you find yourself expressing more masculine attributes or feminine?

This concept of masculine and feminine has been around a lot, and we are beginning to see it take hold in the entrepreneurial and small business fields. Someone who is more focused and driven is seen to have stronger masculine traits, while more caring and creative is seen as having more feminine traits.

Discussing masculine and feminine energies is based on a continuum, yin and yang. People are made up of different traits, and when we say "masculine energy" or "feminine energy" in this context, it does not mean male and female, yet these attributes and expressions are often used in a male/female way.

In this episode of Difficult Happens, we tackle the concept of masculine and feminine energy and how that impacts your interpersonal and professional relationships.
