CommandRespect

Respect. It’s something everyone (and not just Aretha Franklin) craves.  After all, it’s human nature to want to be viewed as intelligent and accomplished. But most of us don’t want to demand that high opinion in a way that’s aggressive and authoritative.
Admittedly, commanding respect from others–particularly older and more experienced industry leaders–is something I’ve struggled with. As a female business owner in my mid-20s, I’ve come across my fair share of esteemed professionals at networking events who have legitimately referred to my work as “cute.”
