Committed to "woman-spreading" since 1983. š You know how guys can "manspread" when they sit on a subway seat or conference room chair, and just occupy ALL the space? Sometimes it's not even physical. Clients often tell me how the men in their lives fill up board rooms and living rooms with bravado, ego, and the kind of dogged self-assuredness that leaves little room for women to coexist. And when there is little room, women often shrink to fit.
ā” I find this rarely works.
When a guy manspreads on a bench or a pew, shrinking does not signal to him to stop. Instead of getting smaller, Women of Consequence know to get bigger. Take up MORE space. "Woman-spread" by owning your voice, amplifying your talents, and stewarding your influence over every stretch of life until it's abundantly clear that you are here and you matter.
For International Women's Day, let's commit to taking up space.
