I work as a technician- a male dominatded area (in Austria, that is)
and when I was younger I tried to prove that I am at least as good, strong, fast, as a male tecchie- now that I allow myself more to be feminine everything changed- I think its not so important who is able to carry more or is faster- but that a good team is being formed- communication is good and that everyone feels good and does the best he/she can.
and with a smile and friendliness not only my day passes much nicer- so I smile!
and many people smile back!
yeah!
