Women have been in the workplace since the 1940s and since then have managed to infiltrate every male-only enclave. But even though tremendous progress has been made, men and women still have problems working together and women still have problems being taken seriously.

Lisa Lockwood, a former beauty contest pageant contestant and undercover detective, knows the difficulties women encounter in traditionally male-dominated professions, and how women can overcome them.

She’ll have your phone lines humming as she shares secrets women can use to win men over at work and vice versa. She’ll explain why women should:

• Never complain about cramps or PMS to a male coworker.

• Never criticize a male coworker in the presence of another male coworker.

• Never ask a man’s opinion about their hair color, hair cut or weight.

• Play pranks on someone and ask men to help them with their planning.

• Ask men to help them with problems even if they don’t actually need
their help.

• Be in the know about certain sports teams, standings and players.
