In the world of business, it is not always easy for women to do the same things as men. Consider the working dinner.
    In order to do your job well, it’s important to sometimes see clients and business contacts away from the office. In a more relaxed atmosphere, you can get to know your business partner better. In the end, after all, people do business with people they like.
    Women start out at a disadvantage because it’s tough to invite men out for a game of golf or tennis. Men usually prefer to play sports with other men.
    You might think that restaurants are the perfect playing field. But they can be dangerous ground.[17]If people from the office see two men they know having dinner together, they think it’s business. If colleagues see a woman dining with a man, they often wonder if it’s another kind of business.
    One answer is to take another colleague or client to dinner. Of course, this isn’t always convenient. So when I can’t do this, I take guys out to dinner one-to-one—to places where I’m most likely to see colleagues. The more your colleagues see you having working dinners with different men, the more they know it is part of your business style.
