Jan insisted that she really didn't have a problem that required the services of a psychiatrist, but Donna insisted that she talk to Dr. Stevens, so she went. Jan still believed that she didn't need to go, but had been learning so much about herself and her life that she went each week. Besides, she really liked the Doctor, and could afford the visits, so why not. I should pause, here to tell you a little about Jan. She is Vice President of Sales with a medium size electronics manufacturer in the midwest. She is respected by everyone who deals with her as a tough but fair executive who knows her business and manages people very effectively. Her sales force calls her "The Iron Lady" but not in her presence. It is obvious the first time you meet her that she is a beautiful woman who could easily have become a top paid model or actress but in her role as a business woman, she tones the beauty down to "attractive" by her dress, demeanor and sparing use of makeup. She wears very conservative business suits, doesn't smoke and drinks only a little wine on social occasions. Jan is thirty-six, but most people believe she is only in her late twenties. |
