Eska, you are funny! Thank you for your input, sounds like you and your girlfriend have a great relationship and an understanding and that is good. No, I don't tell people how they should do things different while in general conversation, however, I am the President of a women's organization and the Chairperson of a women's committee...I get phone calls and issues to solve almost everyday from women with global backgrounds, in religion, race, education, and creed just to name a few and I am always assisting others with their personal and professional issues. I am going to focus on not being in that "counseling" role all the time.  Take care and thanks again.

Wow! Ladies, I thank you so much for your input. I will continue to do self-analysis of my behavior and my approach in my daily interactions. I must say, I have never communicated in this fashion and what is even more surprising, I have never shared these feelings. So I thank you for allowing me to be free with my concern. God bless each of you and your endeavors.


In Solidarity,

When is it appropriate to put your title on a business card? Or is it always appropriate. Examples below:

John Doe, PhD candidate

John Doe, PhD in progress

John Doe, PhD student

John Doe, Postgraduate Researcher

John Doe

When your a PhD student/candidate what should you place, if anything, behind your name on your business cards? Or does it depend on your profession?

Thank you, I anxiously await your advice.

Brothers & Sisters,
I have been challenged my entire life with external obstacles, However, I have been blessed to conquer and grow from each of them. With the character and knowledge I have received from these challenges, it has afforded me the opportunity to learn a little bit about every subject. Because of this, my husband feels like I think I am a "Miss know it all" and it has really bruised my heart. I've worked for everything I have, no one has given me a thing! I believe in hard work and I prove it through my actions. I am a community servant, mother of 6, flight attendant, President of a national women's organization, Chair of a women's committee for my union, and restaurant owner with my husband. I am completing my PhD in Leadership and I am always fighting for a cause. My husband also feels like I'm confrontational with everyone! I just believe that standing and believing is the only way to change. So, I ask you, my peers, what can I do as an intellect and accomplished woman, to disspell this external perception of me from others. I don't feel like I come across that way to others, but my husband says that he has heard people say that I talk to much and I am always the one leading a conversation. I'm not sure how true this is, but I am concerned because I never want to make anyone feel uncomfortable with me or that I feel above them. I am so hurt and I need your feedback. God bless each of you and thank you for taking the time to hear my concern.

Sincerely Submitted, Resilient
