When a Male Boss Says You Can’t Do Something Because You’re a Woman (Couch Talks)

Amy & Kat share an email from a listener working in a male dominated profession. She asked to remain anonymous and shared that a supervisor, in front of numerous other people, said he didn’t think that she should do a portion of her job because she is a woman. She didn’t say anything at the time and redirected the conversation, but she’d now like to talk with him about these comments in a non-confrontational way, so she wrote in asking for advice on how to do this in a productive manner. First off, Amy & Kat are proud of her for being able to hold composure after he said something so offensive and secondly, they’re glad she wants to have a conversation with this supervisor (because what he said is not okay!)  They offer their advice and hopefully what they share (like the ‘sandwich technique’ and more) will be helpful to any of you that need to have a tough conversation.    Book Recommendation: The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More By Jefferson Fisher   Tomorrow 5/30 is the final day to get 25% off snail serum products.
