Hello
We've been asked to comment on RADA's "executive presence for women courses" tomorrow and we're interested in hearing your thoughts.
Here's an article in the Times (behind a paywall) which explains that the course will get course participants to "stop nodding in agreement, smile a lot less and try a bit of manspreading next time you’re surrounded by a table of men at a meeting, even if you’re a woman."
The Times continues: "As part of its training, Rada has listed ten body language “mistakes, where female leaders unknowingly reduce their authority by denoting vulnerability or submission”. These include using too many head tilts, which imply empathy; taking up less physical space than men; inappropriately and excessively smiling; and failing to interrupt enough."
There's also an article in the Telegraph.
What do you think? Would you find this useful? Would you take this course if offered?
Thanks
