Women in Business - Battle of the Sexes

Inverness has seen many epic battles over the years but maybe none so epic as that which took place at Toastmonsters on the 23rd of November at the Glen Mhor Hotel. The battle was to decide who was better - men or women and the event was based around the theme "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus". 5 intrepid ladies went along for an evening of banter and of course public speaking practice. They all rose to the challenge and introduced themselves wonderfully well and several also took up the Table Topics challenge which is to speak on a subject for 2 minutes with no notice. After a break in the bar it was back to battle and two very different speeches. The speech for the ladies was themed around the toilet seat and how it related to the differences between men and women. This speech used scientific facts and figures to demonstrate that women are better leaders, make better investors, can multi-task efficiently, are better drivers - infact the list went on. The speech for the men picked up on the toilet seat theme but took a different approach and tried to explain how  men thought - this was quite an eye opener to some of us there. It certainly gave us some helpful hints on how to ask questions, when to ask questions and what to expect in the way of answers of our menfolk.

At the end of the evening we discussed the event and how everyone had felt. Everyone seemed to have got something out of the evening and enjoyed attending with the Fusion group as this had given "safety in numbers".

Well done ladies for making this such an enjoyable evening and rising to the challenge on behalf of womankind and of course Fusion!
