Is there a rise in public attacks against women? If so, what’s the best defense against a bully? Whether in #politics, the workplace, or life in general, the best defense is to not act like a victim. Bullies single out those who lack assertiveness, or are unprepared for counter-attack. Grown-up bullies wreak havoc in their relationships and in the workplace says Psychology Today. My science-based research shows that when placed under great stress, the female brain turns on. Under stress, the female brain is able to break through social conditioning to access natural leadership skills. These natural leadership skills include diplomacy, the engagement of social networks, and an ability to use deep listening to help understand and defuse conflict....

Dear Alexia, Can you please explain why the MALE and FEMALE brain are different If you take a look at science in the way I have, and my work is based on 40-years worth of research across a dozen fields of science, the science shows that women have 10 unique traits that are hardwired in the female brain. And these traits just so happen to be exactly the opposite of those hardwired in the male brain. There is no right or wrong, it’s not that women are better than men, or men are better than women. It’s just that the brains of men and women were hardwired differently, throughout our evolutionary history. For the men, who’s job description was “hunter” their primary job was to hunt down and bring home food to the women, who were either pregnant, nursing, and had children at their feet. It was the job of the women to ensure the survival of the children. Women were a repository of life affirming knowledge. Once we understand this, this dynamic synergy between men and women, it forever changes the way we look at, and think about women. And I use the term *dynamic synergy* here because we often think of men as great leaders, and yes, they do have 10 wonderful traits. In fact I have a grandson Daniel. I love my grandson and I’ve called him “Daniel the Great” all of his life and he like the other men in my family, have 10 wonderful traits. However evolutionary biology has also hardwired 10 traits into the female brain. And these 10 traits of women – including...
