It seems alpha females have a bad reputation.

Reading this definition, the word b!t#h sort of tumbles around in the brain.
Come on ladies, smart, beautiful, confident women who leave a trail of drooling men make all of us feel a little less hmm, self-possessed?
What happens though when someone bestows this undesirable label on an unsuspecting you?? #yikes
Recently I was asked to sit in on an interview. The person in charge began describing the type of the qualities desired in the ideal candidate, ending the dialogue with this phrase, “I’m not looking for another Alpha Female like myself or Becky.” #what??
Call me taken aback. I had neither thought of myself an as alpha female nor considered I might have anything in common with the speaker. In my mind at least, she and I seem so completely different. #wellthen
Although I do not consider myself a person of superior intelligence, I am definitely resourceful. So, using the Gospel of Google I researched alpha females.
The first article I found did not resonate with me, at all. It actually made me feel all dirty, like I needed a shower. The next one from lifehack.org was much more relatable. http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/10-signs-you-are-alpha-woman.html
Oh. My. Gosh. Who’s been reading my mail?? That is a federal offense, you know!!
So, perhaps I might be just a bit of an Alpha Female, only not in the over-confident, thinks she’s better than everyone, rules the room, uber sexy sort of way. More in the “let’s get this done” kind of way. I can totally own that perspective.
It seems alpha females have a bad reputation. Perhaps the moniker isn’t so bad after all.
Until Next Time,
