Presentations and talks - different expectations for males vs females

T

Hi folks

I just wondered... do you think that there are different expectations about presentation style in talks and interviews depending on whether the person is a male or female?

Do men often get told to "be more animated" or "appear more enthusiastic"? Or is something that is more expected of women?

What is your experience?

This is probably going to sound extremely weird and perhaps slightly off-topic but whenever I give a presentation I always imagine I am speaking to the European Parliament. There's something about those large international conferences and meetings that I just adore. I really wish I could at some point in the future live the life of a diplomat or ambassador. I am procrastinating. Back to writing my thesis....

Hehe! Interesting!
