Business cards for the female entrepreneur

Good communication can help you get ahead in business.

Recent studies show that many women with both feet planted firmly in private enterprise are struggling to break the glass ceiling and reach the executive level.

And while it is almost impossible to change corporate culture on your own, it might be worthwhile workshopping communication strategies that will help you stand out from the pack and land that upcoming promotion.

Once the new job is in the bag you can have fun handing over your business card in Sydney at high-flyer corporate events.

Women in the workplace

For those people who work in male-dominated industries, it may be difficult to identify with colleagues or even fit in.

By making an effort to learn about your peers, their likes and dislikes, you could find yourself with a new group of friends and opportunities for promotion.

Sport may not be your strong point and the thought of going to a grimy pub after work might make your skin crawl, but it is important to socialise in a professional way with the people you work closest to.

With this in mind why not consider taking lunch with your manager or showing an interest in the issues that are important to them - after all, remembering the name of their son or daughter only takes a moment, but it can do wonders to build rapport.

Business Meetings

Boardrooms can be intimidating places, but once you learn how to master this environment mixing with the pros will be easy.

Firstly, it is important to wait for your turn when it comes to seating - let those in more senior positions choose a spot they find comfortable.

The same rule applies for speaking, but try to show initiative by asking questions and engaging in the conversation.

Another important tip is letting people know when you do something well and learning how to speak positively about your achievements.

Far from being arrogant this communication technique suggests honesty and clear thinking - just make sure to compliment others on their accomplishments too.
