A&O teaches female associates to communicate

Why is it that women, have to be taught to communicate in a way compatible to men? Are we jumping up and down when male colleagues can't seem to communicate with female clients? It seems a bit of a joke really. Are the clients saying they don't understand female lawyers? From what I can see these issues seem to raise their head as a reason why women aren't being promoted when the reality is women can communicate just fine. Women do not lack skills, ability or gravitas, they may lack some confidence which is usually as a result of constantly being told that they have a lack of skills regardless of whether they do or don't. Promote and recognise women simple.
