Go gray!
My mother-in-law Kathy Kolbe is quoted in this article on whether business discriminates against folks with gray hair.
Kathy Kolbe, a Phoenix-based public speaker and consultant to corporations on human instincts, is one of the comparatively few gray-haired women in business. After alternating between dyed and not, she declares herself now ``permanently gray'' after concluding it is an advantage in more ways than one.
She noticed she got lots of offers of help on her business travels when gray peeked through -- from hoisting bags into overhead bins on airplanes to other assistance -- and ``pretty much nobody offered help'' when it was hidden.
``So I let the whole head go gray and, voila, doors magically opened,'' said Kolbe, 65.
She senses the ``look of wisdom'' also has a positive impact on both employees and clients.
