I have flirted through job interviews and intense business meetings and considered it part of the way I did my work. I always remembered HGB’s wise words when she told her disciples, “Being a great lover and a great listener are equally important.” Though I left the lover part at the doorstep I became a great listener. If you remember both Pamela Churchill Harriman and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, they were famous for an ability to rapturously focus on their subject much like a bird dog with its prey in sight .The intensity was an aphrodisiacs and a clue to how they maneuvered men so brilliantly.
Powerful men are readily seduced by the attention and devotion of clever women for whom flirting is an art form and when performed correctly, one that can have a big pay off in the work world. (Come on, just look around you.)
Not unlike a geisha, leave your flip-flops at the door and step into those Jimmy Choos—a sexy gait is worth a little hamstring ache in the long run, don’t you think?
