Great stuff ladies keep it going
Many women unfortunately feel a bit shy if that’s the right word to talk with a male on financial issues
We all know that that should never be the case but to” break the ice” that female to female approach is a great start
But please don’t get me wrong everyone and especially those dumb blokes that have no idea need to be educated and that is a job to be done across both genders and yet my experience has shown a better attention to our clients needs from our female employees
Let’s not start a gender war guys you need to pick up your act it’s a competitive world out there
