First of all, here is the web site site for MindMan: mindmanager.com If it does not work, please let me know. If all else fails, I can probably get it through to you if you are on ICQ if you are on ICQ or have the person who shared it with me--The Other Analyst, who is, BTW, one hell of a good analyst from another area of industry specialty learning about technology stocks--forward it to you. We have been friends and professional colleagues for over two decades. He most definitely has "a man's mind" and has been startled with how the stereotype re women can prove faulty because of all of us "outliers." One of the difficulties with women is that not only do they--apparently--fail to speak up, they "have manners," so if someone else (usually male) starts to talk at the same time, they think it is courteous to let the other person finish the thought aloud, so they "shut up." So they let the asshole finish blithering and then, oops, the meeting ends--a function, I suspect, of "not being called on in school when your hand is raised for the answer" experience. It took even me several years to learn to do the "male thing" of cutting right across the crap and say the pithy statement that we all needed to get back to real work. This friend, who is State Dept., says he has met so damned few women who have mastered the weird art of behaving as though they were men and using "male techniques" in a Q&A session--brilliant women who were too polite and too sensitive to the fragility of the egos involved to fight down, deep, and dirty (which is where they were being personally attacked) to fight back on the same turf. They tend to take their thoughts privately to someone else (usually the facilitator, who tends to be male even now). Is this your experience?
