USE YOUR SEXUALITY IN BUSINESS?: Be Yourself

In business, we have to a great extent over-reacted and started expecting everyone to be more or less androgynous. We are like a bunch of robots, all the same sex - the sex of efficiency or productivity. 

This "over-similarity" is wrong, and not at all how God planned it to be. God made two sexes, and wants you to be who you are at all times. Be yourself.

There are obviously differences between men and women, and not just physically. They are wired differently. Each thinks in ways that vary from the other, even while seeking the same objectives.

It is a matter of biology and it is also body chemistry. Given this, it is wrong and unnatural to try and make women and men think the same - even in the office. Each sex should be typical of their gender, and even use their sexuality to get things done - ethically.

Communications are a prime example, all types. Women are naturally a bit more affectionate and friendly (if allowed to be) when they communicate both in-person and through other methods. Unfortunately, we press women to be so "robotic" that they end-up being frustrated and speaking mean to each other on the job!

Nothing bad should be thought about a woman being herself. That's how ladies communicate, and always have; no need to change now and be less effective, right?

Men, on the other hand, like to be blunt and get to the point faster. This is how we work and think. There is nothing wrong with this either. Let us be ourselves at work too. 

Furthermore, there is no switch to turn a man's eyes and ears off while at work, either. If a guy naturally loves pretty women, you cannot change that, but only take steps to make it understood that he cannot force himself on co-workers that want no part of him!

It is not so complex, folks. It is everyday life. Men and women should be on the same team inside and outside of the office. Business is not meant to change us; we all are what God made us....
