Client: Well our female clients tend to ask us to do things that aren’t possible, and they can be difficult to work with... I don’t think I should have said that. Team (All men in unison): Oh no we completely understand!

To be honest, flip the genders in that scenario. Male client saying that to a room full of females. I 100% believe the same response would be received.

Super yikes. Also if it were a room full of ladies, they’d say all the guys they work with are lazy. I unapologetically feel women are stronger/smarter in the workplace on average, and high expectations are a good thing.

There’s nothing wrong with this. Speak your truth, right. The client is just speaking to their experience. The other people in the room are also speaking to their experiences. Just because you don’t agree with it, doesn’t mean they can’t speak to their experience

I’d honestly rather this be someone trying to get a reaction than someone so ignorant they completely misunderstood the significance of the situation.

Maybe they should ask the females they work with to smile more or to relax. That usually works. 🙄

Hello All,
Hope you are doing well,
I have just started my career in project management and have 2 years of experience. And now I would like to enroll in a distance MBA course. So could anyone suggest me which MBA specialization should I choose that will help me in the career along with the PMP certification?

Just want to share!

My client called and happily announced that my project is completed and well executed.

It is easy to manage time-consuming tasks and allows you to focus on more of the big picture stuff, especially if you have a reliable and committed Virtual Assistant.

So if you need someone that will help you to reduce the overwhelm for your Business, just direct message me or any referrals will do is highly appreciated.

Speak with you soon!
