“Whether you are an industry influencer, on the verge of breaking the glass ceiling or looking to up-skill yourself, this two-day course will provide you with a practical toolkit to lead with authority and authenticity in the workplace,” said Nithya Nagarajan, Client Engagement Manager, NIDA Melbourne, NIDA Corporate.
In a NIDA blog post Nithya Nagarajan wrote for International Women’s Day 2017, Ms Nagarajan identified 5 common communication habits that women (often subconsciously) fall trap to in the workplace and practical tips to overcome them.
The 5 common communication habits of women are:
- 1. Assertiveness isn’t a quality that we easily inhabit.
- 2. We embody a meek, passive and/or submissive stance.
- 3. We avoid silence like the plague.
- 4. We often lower our gaze.
- 5. We undermine ourselves constantly.
“Whether you believe it is nature, nurture or both that influence the behaviours and habits of women, there is no denying that women often collide with the glass ceiling in their climb up the corporate ladder,” said Ms Nagarajan. “Although there is a steady rise of women who break the glass ceiling, statistics show that we still have a long way to go.”
