It is a great time to be an ambitious woman. The company world is a oyster where you eat oysters lean Learn the rules of interacting with men at work. These rules can be somewhat complicated to navigate, especially when smaller than men and burdened with pancake-like brains, but some pioneering companies are helping female employees.
For example, EY, a multinational accountant, aims to "build a better working environment." According to HuffPo's report, EY last year offered a female leadership training called Power-Presence-Purpose and provided the following wise pearls:
– Women's brains have difficulty absorbing and focusing information in the same way pancakes absorb syrup. The male brain, on the other hand, is like a waffle. Information is collected neatly in each small waffle square.
– The female brain is 6-11% smaller than the male.
– Women should not face or face men directly at meetings because men are threatened.
– Women should "make sure that a good hairstyle, well-groomed nails, trimmed attire will fit your body type".
– Women should have “physical health and wellness” but should not show off their bodies. "Holyness shuffles the mind (for men and women)."
– Women should express their thoughts and ideas with questions.
– Women often need to speak short and speak out.
The educational presentation unfortunately did not like the last advice and consists of 55 nonsense pages.
After Huff Four first heard the story, EY dug up alumni defending the program and saying that the alumni were extremely helpful. But EY seems to have changed the pushpin. The company has now said it has canceled training provided by a company called Marsha Clark & Associates. "There's no question that the program's elements contain offensive content that doesn't match our core beliefs," EY said in a statement Monday.
I think there are two main things to have in this unfortunate corporate saga. The first is that sexism is alive. The second is that you can attach all your old BS to your PowerPoint deck, give clarification, and sell it to a multinational accountant to get a healthy profit.
With this in mind, we want to grab this moment with manicured nails and present a free sample of a new corporate training program.
Grace-Grit-Gratitude: influential and inspirational leadership tips to help men win at work
– A man is like a muffin. Nobody wants more than one at a meeting. If there are multiple people in the meeting, you need to designate one person as the token speaking person and keep their contribution as concise and clear as possible.
– Men are like cinnamon. They can have a very strong scent. Keep the Cologne expert in order not to disturb the lady.
– Men are like croissants: they can be very peeled off. Organize your thoughts by writing them in a neat little list.
– The male brain is like a bagel. There is no core component. They do not cut for leadership in the same way women do. Nevertheless, sufficient training can sometimes make important contributions.
– A man is like a bialys: depressed in the middle. Try to smile more and brighten your work.
As I said, this is just a free sample. There are 55 more pages.
EY, I'm waiting for your call. You cannot put pancakes and waffle brains together and wait to make a batter for a better world.
