I was 17 years old, the only woman on a trading floor of 100 screaming men in a "Wolf of Wall Street" environment.

This is the playbook on how to command respect, handle the "boys club," and why being the only woman in the room might actually be your biggest advantage.⏰ Video Chapters: 00:00 - The "Wolf of Wall Street" trading floor at 17 02:26 - My first day nickname (and why I didn't get offended) 03:34 - Is the modern workplace too "PC"? 05:55 - The 3 types of women in business 08:43 - Why being a woman was my huge advantage 12:40 - The "Cup of Tea" Story: How to put men in their place15:30 - Taking over the Sydney Industrial Market 21:10 - Lessons from our China office culture 29:30 - Confronting the "Wolf of Wall Street" guys 30 years later 33:10 - Why people get jealous of successful womenProduced by Dreamers Media:⁠⁠⁠⁠dreamersmedia.coConnect with Krissy:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildlyappropriatepodcast• TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wildlyappropriateProduced by Dreamers Media:https://dreamersmedia.co#WildlyAppropriate #WomenInBusiness #CareerAdvice #MaleDominatedIndustries #KrissyMarsh #RealHousewives #CorporateLife
