Gender IQ™

There's No Crying In Business

Welcome to our free taster session. In this webcast we ask the question ‘why do women and men feel uncomfortable with female traits, such as crying, in business?’ and ‘why are women and men more comfortable with the male expression of frustration – anger and aggression?’  It is important to ask questions that make us feel uncomfortable so that we can move beyond being Gender blind and increase the acceptable range of Leadership Styles.

The film you are about to watch was recorded on the 28th September 2009 at Cisco Headquarters and interviewees include Tracey Carr, CEO of Eve-olution, ETC and Gender IQ, Nikki Walker, Director of Inclusion & Diversity for European Markets at Cisco, Charlie Johnston, HR Director UK & Ireland at Cisco, and Alison Pothier who was MD of UBS Warburg.

There is an audio introduction recorded at the event that took place live on 15th October 2009, when 250 people joined simultaneously. The second film is a round up of issues raised in the live chat that took place at the same time. As you can imagine the chat box was very lively, but we have tried to capture in the video all of the important questions that were raised.

Gender IQ webcasts feature high-quality video, additional resources and a Q&A system – check out How it Works for full details, and see the full list of available webcasts, and make your purchases, here.
