Here’s to the REAL men!
Here’s to the amazing ones.
The men.
The supporters.
The dependables.
The backstops on the field of home runs.
The ones who see their women very differently.
Who respect their ambition,
Their dreams and their skills
And fuel their insane and innate drive
To just go for it!
To the many who may think these men soft, or weak, or submissive
While they take a backseat and play Mr Mom
Or champion a woman toward leadership
Or allow their women to bring home the bacon – and the eggs and the bread!!
To the ones who think men are emasculated when they show that feminine energy
Or berate a woman when she steps into her masculine energy
By mixing it with the boys!
Getting things done!
Pushing back!
Giving her opinion!
Winning!
I say, ‘you don’t know what you’re missing!’
Why Real Men Make the Difference
To the men who make it possible for women like meTo make a change
To use our voice
To show emotion
Who simply and don’t try to fix
Yet provide a safe place to fall into when it gets too hard!
Who lend a strong and stable hand to help us
Come back stronger and fiercer
To make the world a better, brighter and more brilliant place!
It’s actually you who change the world!
Because it’s you who realise the world needs more women
Strong women
Vulnerable women
Smart women
Doing even greater things!
‘Here’s to the real men the world wants… Not more boys who pretend to be men!’
Each have been behind me, in front of me and beside me in different capacities at every step of my life and career, and that of my daughter, as well – proof that us women need you guys to be nimble and move with us even when we don’t know where we’re going.
To those ‘Mr Mom’s’ I personally know, who have stayed home for decades swapping the stereotypical breadwinner roles, encouraging and providing the option for their women to become leading executives in big banks or running successful businesses or simply chasing their dreams.
The economy needs men like you!
The world needs men like you who see equality for what it really is!
Our society needs men like you who do more than talk the talk, who walk the talk.
Period!
Real men!
I’m Bernadette – founder of the Decision-Led Revenue™ Operating System and The Revenue Leader of Influence™, where I work with CEOs and sales leaders to build a sales team they can rely on to think, make the call, tell the truth about pipeline and own the result.
If any of this resonated – or if you’re staring at a revenue problem that feels like it should have been solved by now – I’d love a conversation.
BOOK A NO-OBLIGATION 20-MINUTE CALL
And if you’d rather join the discussion, you can also join me on Substack. That’s where the Revenue Leader of Influence community is starting to have these conversations in real time.
