Strictly Business
I am sitting in a business meeting and there’s a man, Alex, talking about "G and P’s" and "A and L’s" and he’s spewing out all kinds of letters in business jargon shorthand as if I’m supposed to know what he’s talking about and I’m just about to lose my mind cause all I can think about is how his horizontally striped, red tie doesn’t go with his oversized blue suit. He’s a nice gentleman, I mean no disrespect it’s just, I don’t understand why he can’t speak descriptively about what he’s trying to say to me. What exactly is a "G" and an "A"? These linear thoughts need to be dressed up in some woman-speak to make the business world a whole lot more colorful and fun, fun, fun. The more that women assert their female perspectives into what has been a male-dominated world...well...what a wonderful world it will be. So, not trying to be rude, I said to the room of three women and five men, “Does anybody want to go in the studio, do some mean hip circles to loosen up, and come back to the presentation all refreshed?” They looked over at me as if I were crazy (I get that a lot), took a solid three-second beat, laughed a little and then went back to the hum drum of mindless, non-personality business speak. Ah ha, the gauntlet has been thrown down, we are on a mission now!
