Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Wish the time allotted was longer. Would have liked to see other attendees' comments and an actual comment box for those who had to listen by phone, not a question box. I had technical issues with my speakers so I had to dial in. Great presentation overall.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I was really disappointed at the sexist jokes (and the binary of "women do things this way, men that way" - not all of us are men or women, and it's 2021 so you could just say "some people" rather than making it gendered), and the lack of content (beyond a passing mention) regarding cultural differences in leadership approaches. The lack of understanding when I asked about how to adjust these skills to neuro-diversity, in both admin staff and those we work with, was also somewhat shocking.There was also a lot of emphasis on "forgive and forget" or "just move on" that felt very dismissive of very real workplace traumas that occur. When I asked, it was dismissed as "this is a discussion of business, not trauma." Not everyone has the luxury of working in a trauma-free environment, and dismissing trauma as wholly separate from work environments is very upsetting.There was definitely some useful information about Emotional Intelligence, but it didn't feel like it went beyond binary gender stereotypes. The discussion of Influence also felt like it could have been expanded to fill some of the time that was taken up with stereotypes instead; I would like to have heard more about ways to develop skills, particularly in workplaces that are less than ideal, that can expand an admin's influence beyond their typical sphere and perhaps lead to other work. The two pieces of advice, of moving yourself out of BCC on important emails and attending meetings with higher-level staff if you can, were interesting, and I would have liked to hear more.
