I am in a big project right now where I am around a lot of powerful men that can help me influence the outcome of this project here in South America. Of course I'm single and almost all of these guys are interested. I have been very careful not to initiate any sausage fest with anybody. Do you guys have brilliant advice on how to make the most out of working these guys over to get what I want? Thanks so much in advance

Hi! Congrats on the project, I’m sure you are totally knocking it out of the park. I was recently in a similar situation, but there were both high powered men and women who had a lot of influence on my overall career based on my performance as their pseudo project manager. In your scenario there are a lot of factors at play. I’ve found working with men specifically and in general in the workplace you have to quickly gain credibility and trust. This becomes especially true in work situations where the power dynamic is unbalanced. I personally really like the Franklin Covey - Speed of Trust principles - specifically the concepts foundations which encourage you to remain true integrity, actively display intent, showcase capabilities, and drive results. You may also find this helps to lay foundation for some really long lasting relationships that help your career long after the project concludes.
I usually lie about being in a relationship they usually respect another man’s “property”.
Anybody have any advice here? I can't seem to get my Flair in the Reddit to get possibly more responses
