About working women and their interaction with clients etc ...
My mother is a doctor and worked alongside men all her life , when I started my career , she told me one thing clearly , which i remember till date ..
she said , its very easy for a woman to sound enticing and look beautiful and your client and your employer will both have lots to win , but you will lose your respect ... therefore learn to remain stern and extremely business like when at work and in front of clients , remain polite but do not look or speak invitingly... you must learn the difference between the two.
I would humbly like to seek permission to share it on another site, but not as my own words but as an appropriate example for my similar discussion there, while keeping your nick anonymous, if you think it is appropriate to do so. In my opinion your mother would inshaAllah get the blessings of Allah for becoming a source of guidance for all the people who would read this example on that site
