Shrink to Fit Men are forceful occupiers of space
They know how to come into a room and how to leave aroom
Figure out your entrance and exit strategy Women shrink to fit so . . . Keep your head up
Looking down infers inferiority, deference Learn how not to shrink but learn how to fit
Learn how to sit, stand, move in a man¶s world Make eye contact, sit up straight, shoulders back & square
Posture, facial expressions, walk, talk matter
Take command of your space Don¶t let it command you Define your space with hips, shoulders, posture, mannerisms Control nervous twitches, glitches, and giveaways Don¶t give up your seat to a man unless it¶s your boss
