Going Back In Time Or Do Women Entrepreneurs Need To Be More Professional?

This past Thursday, Brian and I were invited to present to a very impressive and active Angel Group. The meeting was held at the Milwaukee Athletic Club, where oak trim, plush carpeting, and lots of men in black pinstripes suits greeted us.

 

We were one of three presenting companies. I presented and was thrilled with my presentation; we fielded every question superbly as well. After the presentation, I was told, point blank, that the men were pleased because, as a woman, I need to be more professional than my men counterparts and I had achieved that. I passed the test.

 

To be honest, I have no problem working as hard as I can so I’m more professional that my counterparts; it’s in my blood to want to be the best! But I’m curious…what do you think? Is going to Milwaukee going back in time, or do we women still have major hurdles to overcome?
